RevokeCertificateRequest Class

Detailed Description

The RevokeCertificateRequest class provides an interface for ACMPCA RevokeCertificate requests.

You can use the ACM PCA API to create a private certificate authority (CA). You must first call the <a>CreateCertificateAuthority</a> function. If successful, the function returns an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for your private CA. Use this ARN as input to the <a>GetCertificateAuthorityCsr</a> function to retrieve the certificate signing request (CSR) for your private CA certificate. Sign the CSR using the root or an intermediate CA in your on-premises PKI hierarchy, and call the <a>ImportCertificateAuthorityCertificate</a> to import your signed private CA certificate into ACM PCA.

</p

Use your private CA to issue and revoke certificates. These are private certificates that identify and secure client computers, servers, applications, services, devices, and users over SSLS/TLS connections within your organization. Call the <a>IssueCertificate</a> function to issue a certificate. Call the <a>RevokeCertificate</a> function to revoke a certificate.

</p <note>

Certificates issued by your private CA can be trusted only within your organization, not

publicly> </note>

Your private CA can optionally create a certificate revocation list (CRL) to track the certificates you revoke. To create a CRL, you must specify a <a>RevocationConfiguration</a> object when you call the <a>CreateCertificateAuthority</a> function. ACM PCA writes the CRL to an S3 bucket that you specify. You must specify a bucket policy that grants ACM PCA write permission.

</p

You can also call the <a>CreateCertificateAuthorityAuditReport</a> to create an optional audit report that lists every time the CA private key is used. The private key is used for signing when the <b>IssueCertificate</b> or <b>RevokeCertificate</b> function is called.
