AWS CDK v1 has reached End-of-Support on 2023-06-01. This package is no longer being updated, and users should migrate to AWS CDK v2.
For more information on how to migrate, see the Migrating to AWS CDK v2 guide.
This module is part of the AWS Cloud Development Kit project.
import * as acmpca from '@aws-cdk/aws-acmpca';
This package contains a CertificateAuthority class.
At the moment, you cannot create new Authorities using it,
but you can import existing ones using the fromCertificateAuthorityArn static method:
const certificateAuthority = acmpca.CertificateAuthority.fromCertificateAuthorityArn(this, 'CA',
'arn:aws:acm-pca:us-east-1:123456789012:certificate-authority/023077d8-2bfa-4eb0-8f22-05c96deade77');
Cfn* classesYou can always use the low-level classes
(starting with Cfn*) to create resources like the Certificate Authority:
const cfnCertificateAuthority = new acmpca.CfnCertificateAuthority(this, 'CA', {
type: 'ROOT',
keyAlgorithm: 'RSA_2048',
signingAlgorithm: 'SHA256WITHRSA',
subject: {
country: 'US',
organization: 'string',
organizationalUnit: 'string',
distinguishedNameQualifier: 'string',
state: 'string',
commonName: '123',
serialNumber: 'string',
locality: 'string',
title: 'string',
surname: 'string',
givenName: 'string',
initials: 'DG',
pseudonym: 'string',
generationQualifier: 'DBG',
},
});
If you need to pass the higher-level ICertificateAuthority somewhere,
you can get it from the lower-level CfnCertificateAuthority using the same fromCertificateAuthorityArn method:
declare const cfnCertificateAuthority: acmpca.CfnCertificateAuthority;
const certificateAuthority = acmpca.CertificateAuthority.fromCertificateAuthorityArn(this, 'CertificateAuthority',
cfnCertificateAuthority.attrArn);
