ApsaraMQ for MQTT:ListDeviceCertificateByCaSn

Last Updated:Aug 28, 2026

Queries all device certificates issued by a specified CA certificate and registered with ApsaraMQ for MQTT. Device certificates authenticate clients when they connect to ApsaraMQ for MQTT brokers. After authentication succeeds, the client and broker communicate using the encrypted private key in the certificate. If authentication fails, the broker denies the connection.

Operation description

  • Only ApsaraMQ for MQTT Enterprise Platinum Edition instances support this operation.

  • Each Alibaba Cloud account can call this operation up to 500 times per second. To request a higher limit, join DingTalk group 35228338 to contact ApsaraMQ for MQTT technical support.

Try this API in OpenAPI Explorer, no manual signing needed. Successful calls auto-generate SDK code matching your parameters. Download it with built-in credential security for local usage.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
