delete-signing-certificate¶

Description¶

Deletes a signing certificate associated with the specified IAM user.

If you do not specify a user name, IAM determines the user name implicitly based on the AWS access key ID signing the request. This operation works for access keys under the AWS account. Consequently, you can use this operation to manage AWS account root user credentials even if the AWS account has no associated IAM users.

Synopsis¶

  delete-signing-certificate
[--user-name <value>]
--certificate-id <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--user-name (string)

The name of the user the signing certificate belongs to.

This parameter allows (through its regex pattern ) a string of characters consisting of upper and lowercase alphanumeric characters with no spaces. You can also include any of the following characters: _+=,.@-

--certificate-id (string)

The ID of the signing certificate to delete.

The format of this parameter, as described by its regex pattern, is a string of characters that can be upper- or lower-cased letters or digits.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To delete a signing certificate for an IAM user

The following delete-signing-certificate command deletes the specified signing certificate for the IAM user named Bob:

aws iam delete-signing-certificate --user-name Bob --certificate-id TA7SMP42TDN5Z26OBPJE7EXAMPLE

To get the ID for a signing certificate, use the list-signing-certificates command.
