list-certificates-by-ca¶

Description¶

List the device certificates signed by the specified CA certificate.

Requires permission to access the ListCertificatesByCA action.

Synopsis¶

  list-certificates-by-ca
--ca-certificate-id <value>
[--page-size <value>]
[--ascending-order | --no-ascending-order]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--ca-certificate-id (string)

The ID of the CA certificate. This operation will list all registered device certificate that were signed by this CA certificate.

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--ascending-order | --no-ascending-order (boolean)

Specifies the order for results. If True, the results are returned in ascending order, based on the creation date.

--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.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To list all device certificates signed with a CA certificate

The following list-certificates-by-ca example lists all device certificates in your AWS account that are signed with the specified CA certificate.

aws iot list-certificates-by-ca \
    --ca-certificate-id f4efed62c0142f16af278166f61962501165c4f0536295207426460058cd1467

Output:

{
    "certificates": [
        {
            "certificateArn": "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:cert/488b6a7f2acdeb00a77384e63c4e40b18b1b3caaae57b7272ba44c45e3448142",
            "certificateId": "488b6a7f2acdeb00a77384e63c4e40b18b1b3caaae57b7272ba44c45e3448142",
            "status": "ACTIVE",
            "creationDate": 1569363250.557
        }
    ]
}

Output¶

certificates -> (list)

The device certificates signed by the specified CA certificate.

(structure)

Information about a certificate.

certificateArn -> (string)

The ARN of the certificate.

certificateId -> (string)

The ID of the certificate. (The last part of the certificate ARN contains the certificate ID.)

status -> (string)

The status of the certificate.

The status value REGISTER_INACTIVE is deprecated and should not be used.

certificateMode -> (string)

The mode of the certificate.

DEFAULT : A certificate in DEFAULT mode is either generated by Amazon Web Services IoT Core or registered with an issuer certificate authority (CA) in DEFAULT mode. Devices with certificates in DEFAULT mode aren’t required to send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension when connecting to Amazon Web Services IoT Core. However, to use features such as custom domains and VPC endpoints, we recommend that you use the SNI extension when connecting to Amazon Web Services IoT Core.

SNI_ONLY : A certificate in SNI_ONLY mode is registered without an issuer CA. Devices with certificates in SNI_ONLY mode must send the SNI extension when connecting to Amazon Web Services IoT Core.

creationDate -> (timestamp)

The date and time the certificate was created.

nextMarker -> (string)

The marker for the next set of results, or null if there are no additional results.
