Issues a server certificate based on a custom certificate signing request (CSR).

Usage notes

Before you call this operation, make sure that you have created a root certificate authority (CA) certificate by calling the CreateRootCACertificate operation and an intermediate CA certificate by calling the CreateSubCACertificate operation. Only intermediate CA certificates can be used to issue server certificates.

Limits

You can call this operation up to 10 times per second per account. If the number of the calls per second exceeds the limit, throttling is triggered. As a result, your business may be affected. We recommend that you take note of the limit when you call this operation.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

Request parameters

Parameter Type Required Example Description
Action String Yes CreateServerCertificateWithCsr

The operation that you want to perform. Set the value to CreateServerCertificateWithCsr.

Csr String Yes -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- ...... -----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

The content of the CSR.

You can generate a CSR by using the OpenSSL tool or the Keytool tool. For more information, see How do I create a CSR file?

Domain String No example.com

The additional domain names or additional IP addresses of the server certificate. After you add additional domain names and additional IP addresses to a certificate, you can apply the certificate to the domain names and IP addresses.

You can specify multiple domain names and IP addresses. If you specify multiple domain names and IP addresses, separate them with commas (,).

Days Integer No 365

The validity period of the server certificate. Unit: days.

You must specify at least one of the Days, BeforeTime, and AfterTime parameters. The BeforeTime and AfterTime parameters must be both empty or both specified. The following list describes how to specify these parameters:

  • If you specify the Days parameter, you can specify both the BeforeTime and AfterTime parameters or leave them both empty.
  • If you do not specify the Days parameter, you must specify both the BeforeTime and AfterTime parameters.
Note
  • If you specify the Days, BeforeTime, and AfterTime parameters at the same time, the validity period of the server certificate is determined by the value of the Days parameter.
  • The validity period of the server certificate cannot exceed the validity period of the intermediate CA certificate. You can call the DescribeCACertificate operation to query the validity period of an intermediate CA certificate.
ParentIdentifier String Yes 270oe6bb538d538c70c01f81hfd3****

The unique identifier of the intermediate CA certificate from which the server certificate is issued.

Note You can call the DescribeCACertificateList operation to query the unique identifier of an intermediate CA certificate.
BeforeTime Long No 1634283958

The issuance time of the server certificate. This value is a UNIX timestamp. The default value is the time when you call this operation. Unit: seconds.

Note The BeforeTime and AfterTime parameters must be both empty or both specified.
AfterTime Long No 1665819958

The expiration time of the server certificate. This value is a UNIX timestamp. Unit: seconds.

Note The BeforeTime and AfterTime parameters must be both empty or both specified.
