) -> CreateCertificateAuthorityResponse
Creates a root or subordinate private certificate authority (CA). You must specify the CA configuration, an optional configuration for Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and/or a certificate revocation list (CRL), the CA type, and an optional idempotency token to avoid accidental creation of multiple CAs. The CA configuration specifies the name of the algorithm and key size to be used to create the CA private key, the type of signing algorithm that the CA uses, and X.500 subject information. The OCSP configuration can optionally specify a custom URL for the OCSP responder. The CRL configuration specifies the CRL expiration period in days (the validity period of the CRL), the Amazon S3 bucket that will contain the CRL, and a CNAME alias for the S3 bucket that is included in certificates issued by the CA. If successful, this action returns the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CA.
Both Amazon Web Services Private CA and the IAM principal must have permission to write to the S3 bucket that you specify. If the IAM principal making the call does not have permission to write to the bucket, then an exception is thrown. For more information, see Access policies for CRLs in Amazon S3.
Amazon Web Services Private CA assets that are stored in Amazon S3 can be protected with encryption. For more information, see Encrypting Your CRLs.
Parameters:
-
certificate_authority_configuration(CertificateAuthorityConfiguration) –Name and bit size of the private key algorithm, the name of the signing algorithm, and X.500 certificate subject information.
-
revocation_configuration(Optional[RevocationConfiguration], default:None) –Contains information to enable support for Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP), certificate revocation list (CRL), both protocols, or neither. By default, both certificate validation mechanisms are disabled.
The following requirements apply to revocation configurations.
-
A configuration disabling CRLs or OCSP must contain only the
Enabled=Falseparameter, and will fail if other parameters such asCustomCnameorExpirationInDaysare included. -
In a CRL configuration, the
S3BucketNameparameter must conform to Amazon S3 bucket naming rules. -
A configuration containing a custom Canonical Name (CNAME) parameter for CRLs or OCSP must conform to RFC2396 restrictions on the use of special characters in a CNAME.
-
In a CRL or OCSP configuration, the value of a CNAME parameter must not include a protocol prefix such as "http://" or "https://".
For more information, see the OcspConfiguration and CrlConfiguration types.
-
-
certificate_authority_type(CertificateAuthorityType) –The type of the certificate authority.
-
idempotency_token(Optional[IdempotencyToken], default:None) –Custom string that can be used to distinguish between calls to the CreateCertificateAuthority action. Idempotency tokens for CreateCertificateAuthority time out after five minutes. Therefore, if you call CreateCertificateAuthority multiple times with the same idempotency token within five minutes, Amazon Web Services Private CA recognizes that you are requesting only certificate authority and will issue only one. If you change the idempotency token for each call, Amazon Web Services Private CA recognizes that you are requesting multiple certificate authorities.
-
key_storage_security_standard(Optional[KeyStorageSecurityStandard], default:None) –Specifies a cryptographic key management compliance standard for handling and protecting CA keys.
Default: FIPS_140_2_LEVEL_3_OR_HIGHER
Some Amazon Web Services Regions don't support the default value. When you create a CA in these Regions, you must use
CCPC_LEVEL_1_OR_HIGHERfor theKeyStorageSecurityStandardparameter. If you don't, the operation returns anInvalidArgsExceptionwith this message: "A certificate authority cannot be created in this region with the specified security standard."For information about security standard support in different Amazon Web Services Regions, see Storage and security compliance of Amazon Web Services Private CA private keys.
-
tags(Optional[TagList], default:None) –Key-value pairs that will be attached to the new private CA. You can associate up to 50 tags with a private CA. For information using tags with IAM to manage permissions, see Controlling Access Using IAM Tags.
-
usage_mode(Optional[CertificateAuthorityUsageMode], default:None) –Specifies whether the CA issues general-purpose certificates that typically require a revocation mechanism, or short-lived certificates that may optionally omit revocation because they expire quickly. Short-lived certificate validity is limited to seven days.
The default value is GENERAL_PURPOSE.
Raises:
-
InvalidArgsException–One or more of the specified arguments was not valid.
-
InvalidPolicyException–The resource policy is invalid or is missing a required statement. For general information about IAM policy and statement structure, see Overview of JSON Policies.
-
InvalidTagException–The tag associated with the CA is not valid. The invalid argument is contained in the message field.
-
LimitExceededException–An Amazon Web Services Private CA quota has been exceeded. See the exception message returned to determine the quota that was exceeded.
-
UnknownServiceError–The service returned an error code this client does not model.
