Export Certificate

acm_export_certificate

R Documentation

Exports a private certificate issued by a private certificate authority (CA) for use anywhere¶

Description¶

Exports a private certificate issued by a private certificate authority (CA) for use anywhere. The exported file contains the certificate, the certificate chain, and the encrypted private 2048-bit RSA key associated with the public key that is embedded in the certificate. For security, you must assign a passphrase for the private key when exporting it.

For information about exporting and formatting a certificate using the ACM console or CLI, see Export a Private Certificate.

Usage¶

acm_export_certificate(CertificateArn, Passphrase)

Arguments¶

CertificateArn

[required] An Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the issued certificate. This must be of the form:

arn:aws:acm:region:account:certificate/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012

Passphrase

[required] Passphrase to associate with the encrypted exported private key.

When creating your passphrase, you can use any ASCII character except #, $, or %.

If you want to later decrypt the private key, you must have the passphrase. You can use the following OpenSSL command to decrypt a private key. After entering the command, you are prompted for the passphrase.

⁠openssl rsa -in encrypted_key.pem -out decrypted_key.pem⁠

Value¶

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  Certificate = "string",
  CertificateChain = "string",
  PrivateKey = "string"
)

Request syntax¶

svc$export_certificate(
  CertificateArn = "string",
