Synopsis

  register-ca-certificate
--ca-certificate <value>
[--verification-certificate <value>]
[--set-as-active | --no-set-as-active]
[--allow-auto-registration | --no-allow-auto-registration]
[--registration-config <value>]
[--tags <value>]
[--certificate-mode <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--ca-certificate (string)

The CA certificate.

--verification-certificate (string)

The private key verification certificate. If certificateMode is SNI_ONLY , the verificationCertificate field must be empty. If certificateMode is DEFAULT or not provided, the verificationCertificate field must not be empty.

--set-as-active | --no-set-as-active (boolean)

A boolean value that specifies if the CA certificate is set to active.

Valid values: ACTIVE | INACTIVE

--allow-auto-registration | --no-allow-auto-registration (boolean)

Allows this CA certificate to be used for auto registration of device certificates.

--registration-config (structure)

Information about the registration configuration.

templateBody -> (string)

The template body.

roleArn -> (string)

The ARN of the role.

templateName -> (string)

The name of the provisioning template.

Shorthand Syntax:

templateBody=string,roleArn=string,templateName=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "templateBody": "string",
  "roleArn": "string",
  "templateName": "string"
}

--tags (list)

Metadata which can be used to manage the CA certificate.

Note

For URI Request parameters use format: …key1=value1&key2=value2…

For the CLI command-line parameter use format: &&tags “key1=value1&key2=value2…”

For the cli-input-json file use format: “tags”: “key1=value1&key2=value2…”

(structure)

A set of key/value pairs that are used to manage the resource.

Key -> (string)

The tag’s key.

Value -> (string)

The tag’s value.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--certificate-mode (string)

Describes the certificate mode in which the Certificate Authority (CA) will be registered. If the verificationCertificate field is not provided, set certificateMode to be SNI_ONLY . If the verificationCertificate field is provided, set certificateMode to be DEFAULT . When certificateMode is not provided, it defaults to DEFAULT . All the device certificates that are registered using this CA will be registered in the same certificate mode as the CA. For more information about certificate mode for device certificates, see certificate mode .

Possible values:

• DEFAULT

• SNI_ONLY

--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. 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 register a certificate authority (CA) certificate

The following register-ca-certificate example registers a CA certificate. The command supplies the CA certificate and a key verification certificate that proves you own the private key associated with the CA certificate.

aws iot register-ca-certificate \
    --ca-certificate file://rootCA.pem \
    --verification-cert file://verificationCert.pem

Output:

{
    "certificateArn": "arn:aws:iot:us-west-2:123456789012:cacert/f4efed62c0142f16af278166f61962501165c4f0536295207426460058cd1467",
    "certificateId": "f4efed62c0142f16af278166f61962501165c4f0536295207426460058cd1467"
 }

For more information, see RegisterCACertificate in the AWS IoT API Reference.

Output

certificateArn -> (string)

The CA certificate ARN.

certificateId -> (string)

The CA certificate identifier.
