Note Amazon DCV was previously known as NICE DCV. The Amazon DCV Access Console is a web application that helps administrators and end users manage their Amazon DCV sessions. The Access Console consists of installable software packages that include a Handler, an Authentication Server, and a Web Client configured to provide a graphical interface. The Access Console provides administrators with the following: • Access to the Amazon DCV Session Manager APIs • The ability to monitor the host servers running their sessions • Tools to manage the users who have access to the console The Access Console provides end users a way to connect, manage, and launch their own Amazon DCV sessions. Topics • How Amazon DCV Access Console works • Features • Limitations • Pricing • Requirements • Authentication methods • Datastore • Certificates • Networking and connectivity 1 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide How Amazon DCV Access Console works The following system architecture diagram shows the high-level components of the Amazon DCV Access Console and how they work with each other. Handler The Handler is an application that helps connect to and manage Amazon DCV sessions by communicating with the Session Manager Broker using the Session Manager APIs. Authentication Server The Authentication Server is responsible for authenticating users using Header based or PAM authentication methods. Web Client The client is the front-end web application you setup to interact with the Handler (and in turn with the Session Manager Broker). It renders the relevant web pages and serves to the Web Browser. Session Manager Broker The Broker is a web server that hosts and exposes the Session Manager APIs. It receives and processes API requests to manage Amazon DCV sessions from the client, and then passes the instructions to the relevant Agents. The Broker must be installed on a host that's separate from How Amazon DCV Access Console works 2 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide your Amazon DCV servers. It must also be accessible to the client, and be able to access the Agents. Features Amazon DCV Access Console offers the following features: • Provides Amazon DCV session information–get information about the sessions running on multiple Amazon DCV servers. • Manage the lifecycle for multiple Amazon DCV sessions–create or delete multiple sessions for multiple users across multiple Amazon DCV servers with one API request. • Supports tags–use custom tags to target a group of Amazon DCV servers when creating sessions. • Manages permissions for multiple Amazon DCV sessions–modify user permissions for multiple sessions with one API request. • Provides connection information–retrieve client connection information for Amazon DCV sessions. • Supports for cloud and on-premises–use Session Manager on AWS, on-premises, or with alternative cloud-based servers. Limitations Amazon DCV Access Console does not provide resource provisioning capabilities. If you are running Amazon DCV on Amazon EC2 instances, you might need to use additional AWS services, such as Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to manage the scaling of your infrastructure. Pricing Amazon DCV Access Console is available at no cost for AWS customers running EC2 instances. On-premises customers require a Amazon DCV Plus or Amazon DCV Professional Plus license. For information about how to purchase a Amazon DCV Plus or Amazon DCV Professional Plus license, see How to Buy on the Amazon DCV website. You can also use the website to find an Amazon DCV distributor or reseller in your region. Licensing requirements will only be enforced starting with Amazon DCV version 2021.0,so that all on-premises customers can experiment with the Amazon DCV Access Console.

Utilizing PAM authentication allows you to inherit your existing Linux authentication model. HTTP Header authentication provides a customizable authentication mechanism to perform additional validation before the end user reaches the authentication server. PAM authentication The authentication server can be setup to use PAM authentication, it validates the username and the password using the PAM method of the operating system on the host running the authentication server. Enabling PAM authentication 1. Connect to the host that is running the authentication server. 2. Open /etc/dcv-access-console-auth-server/access-console-auth- server.properties with your preferred editor. 3. Comment out or remove the authentication-header-name property to disable header based authentication if it is present. 4. 5. Set the pam-helper-path to the full path of the dcvpamhelper that is installed as part of the authentication server. By default this is /usr/share/dcv-access-console- auth-server/dcvpamhelper. Set the pam-service-name to the name of the file in /etc/pam.d that should be used to authenticate users. • To use the host’s authentication for Redhat based operating systems, set the pam- service-name property to system-auth. Authentication methods 5 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide • To use the host’s authentication for Ubuntu/Debian based operating systems, set the pam- service-name to common-auth. 6. If the host uses different format of the username that are mapped to the same user in the operating system with the same uid and gid, set the pam-normalize-userid-enabled to true in order to normalize the username. The userid is normalized using the command specified in pam-normalize-userid-command, by default it runs id -u -nr for each username and uses the output of the command as the userid. 7. Restart the authentication server. sudo systemctl restart dcv-access-console-auth-server HTTP Header authentication The Amazon DCV Access Console can be setup to use the HTTP header in the request to the Authentication Server to authenticate a user. The Authentication Server checks for the configured header name in the request and uses the value of the header as the user id. This method is useful when there is an intermediary identity provider between the Web Client and the Authentication Server. The intermediary solution authenticates the user and forwards the request with the configured HTTP header. For example, the authentication server can be setup behind a load balancer which uses an Amazon Incognito user pool to validate the user. Note It is important that the intermediary solution removes the configured header name from the requests from the web browser so that users cannot bypass the authentication solution. Configuring HTTP header authentication 1. Connect to the host that is running the authentication server. 2. Open /etc/dcv-session-manager-ui-auth-server/session-manager-auth- server.properties with your preferred editor. 3. Disable PAM based authentication if it is present, by commenting out or removing the pam- helper-path property. HTTP Header authentication 6 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide 4. Set the authentication-header-name to the header name in the request and use the value of the header as the userid. 5. Restart the authentication server. sudo systemctl restart dcv-access-console-auth-server Datastore Amazon DCV Access Console persists user data, group data, session templates and the permission data related to them through integrations with external databases. It supports DynamoDB, MariaDB, and MySQL databases. You must set up and manage one of these databases to use Amazon DCV Access Console. If your Amazon DCV Access Console machines are hosted on Amazon EC2, we recommend using DynamoDB as the external database, since it does not require any additional setup. Note Additional costs can happen when running an external database. To see information on DynamoDB pricing, see Pricing for Provisioned Capacity. Configure the Amazon DCV Access Console to persist on DynamoDB 1. On the host running the Handler component, open /etc/dcv-access-console-handler/ access-console-handler.properties in your preferred editor and make the following edits: • Set datastore = dynamodb. • For dynamodb-region specify the AWS Region where you want to store the tables containing the Handler component data.

In addition, the Handler component needs to be able to initiate secure, persistent, bi-directional HTTPs connections with the Broker and the persistence store (DynamoDB or MariabDB/MySQL). Multiple host setup 11 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide Prerequisites Before setting up the Amazon DCV Access Manager, you must first install and configure the Session Manager Agent and Broker. For more information about setting up Amazon DCV Session Manager, see the Amazon DCV Session Manager Administrator Guide. Registering a new client with the Broker The Access Console has three components, the Web Client, the Handler, and the Authentication Server. You can set up the Access Console by: • Running the Access Console components on the same host as the Session Manager Broker • Running the Access Console components on a different host. If you choose this option, you must register a new client with the Broker. Use the following steps to register a new client with the Broker. To register a new client with the Broker 1. Connect to the host where you installed the Broker. 2. Run the following command to register a new client: $ sudo -u root dcv-session-manager-broker register-api-client --client-name "access-console" 3. Take note of the client-id and client-password. We will need these when we set up the components. 4. The Broker host will also need to have a Public DNS assigned to it. Take note of the address. The Access Console Handler will need this to communicate with the Broker 5. Make sure that the host the Broker is running on is accessible by the host the Access Console Handler will be installed on, via the Broker’s client-to-broker-connector-https-port and the Public DNS Note If you haven’t changed the default, this is port 8443 Registering a new client with the Broker 12 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide If the Broker is already running on the same host where you are going to install all three components, you don’t have to do anything. The Setup Wizard will register a new client with the broker for you. Registering a new client with the Broker 13 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide Setting up Amazon DCV Access Console When setting up your Amazon DCV Access Console, you can choose whether you want to run the console on a single host or, if you choose, across a set of multiple hosts. Using multiple hosts can improve scalability and performance. The Console works with either configuration. The following section explains how to set up Amazon DCV Access Console on a single host and on separate multiple hosts. Topics • Using the Setup Wizard • Setting up on a single host • Setting up on multiple hosts • Verifying the setup • Generating a self-signed certificate Using the Setup Wizard The Setup Wizard is a CLI designed to help you install the Amazon DCV Access Console, and configure the hosts you plan to install the components on. The Setup Wizard can be used whether you install the Access Console components all on the same host, or on separate hosts. If you install the components on a single host, it will install the components and dependencies for the Access Console for you. If you install the components on separate hosts, the Setup Wizard will help you create the configuration files needed for each component. The Setup Wizard can optionally: • Install MariaDB using the OS package manager to act as a datastore. If you choose to use Amazon DynamoDB, no additional packages need to be installed. • Create the necessary database

You are solely responsible for complying with any applicable terms and conditions for use of such third-party software, including obtaining any required licenses from the relevant third parties to use their technology and paying any necessary royalties or fees. Running the wizard The Setup Wizard in the Amazon DCV Access Console packaged components, available on Amazon DCV Downloads. You can use the Setup Wizard in interactive or non-interactive mode to complete the setup of the Amazon DCV Access Console. The Setup Wizard will finish by validating the installation was successful then print the public DNS of the host you provided. The Amazon DCV Access Console will be accessible at that address and any user present on that host will be able to login. Interactive mode By default, the Setup Wizard runs in interactive mode. This mode prompts you to complete the required inputs. Run the Setup Wizard (see Run the Setup Wizard documentation for more details), and answer each prompt with the necessary requirements to setup the Amazon DCV Access Console. Non-interactive mode You can also choose to run the Setup Wizard in non-interactive mode. Using this mode, you manually fill in either the onebox_wizard_input.json or wizard_input.json file that comes with it or by using command-line options. The instructions for non-interactive mode are different, whether you install the Amazon DCV Access Console components on one host, or separate hosts. Modifying setup wizard parameters When in non-interactive mode, the Setup Wizard supports several ways of inputting parameter values. Running the wizard 15 Amazon DCV Access Console Loading a JSON file Console Guide You can specify the input parameters by loading a JSON file to the Setup Wizard, where the key-value pairs are the name of the parameter and specified value. Two starter files are provided with the Setup Wizard: wizard_input.json for setting up on multiple hosts and onebox_wizard_input.json for setting up on a single host. Example For example, this file specifies the broker-client-id and the broker-client-password: { "broker-client-id": "client_id" "broker-client-password": "client_password" } Then load the file into the Setup Wizard by specifying its path (absolute or relative) with the -- input-json option. The Setup Wizard will prompt for any parameter not specified in the JSON file, unless the --quiet flag is used. For a full list of the available options and flags, navigate to the folder where you extracted the Amazon DCV Access Console components: $ python3 wizard.py --help Command-line options You can also specify the input parameters by using command-line options, for example -- broker-address. For a full list of the available options and flags, navigate to the folder where you extracted the Amazon DCV Access Console components and invoke: $ python3 wizard.py --help Setting up on a single host This section explains how to install the Amazon DCV Access Console components on a single host.

Unzip the packaged components. $ tar -xf nice-dcv-access-console-*.tgz 6. Run ls, and you should see the following components. • Handler, Web Client, and Authentication components – These components end in .rpm or .deb depending on your distribution. • Setup Wizard Script – This is a Python script called wizard.py to setup the Amazon DCV Access Console. • Setup Wizard Folder – This folder access_console_config_wizard contains the supporting files for the Setup Wizard. • Setup Wizard JSON Files – These two .json files can be used by the Setup Wizard to pre-populate setup parameters. One called wizard_input.json and one called onebox_wizard_input.json. These can be used by the Setup Wizard to populate setup options. 7. Ensure that the Setup Wizard is set up properly. $ python3 wizard.py --help Preparing the hosts For users to visit the Amazon DCV Access Console, the hosts that the components are installed on needs to be accessible via port 443. Make sure that your host can accept incoming requests on that port from the IP address(es) your users will be connecting from. See Networking and connectivity for more details. Since we will be using SSL, each host will require a DNS entry pointing to it, and a certificate for that DNS entry. Step 1: Prepare your environment 25 Amazon DCV Access Console Preparing the Handler host Console Guide This is the host that will communicate with the Session Manager Broker, and will keep track of the state of the Amazon DCV Access Console. 1. Verify the host is able to accept requests from the users on port 443. 2. Verify the host is able to send requests to the Session Manager Broker on the Broker’s client-to-broker-connector-https-port (port 8443 by default). 3. 4. Take note of the public DNS. Load your certificate onto the instance and take note of the path to the certificate file, key file, and keystore file. If you do not already have a certificate, you can create one. For more information, see Generating a self-signed certificate. Preparing the Authentication Server host This is the host that will provide the Access Console login page, and create the authorization token the Web Client and Handler use to validate requests. 1. Verify the host is able to accept requests on port 443 from the addresses that your users will 2. 3. be connecting from. Most likely, this will be any address. Take note of the public DNS. Load your certificate onto the instance and take note of the path to the certificate file, key file, and keystore file. If you do not already have a certificate, you can create one. For more information, see Generating a self-signed certificate. Preparing the Web Client host This is the host that will serve as web application that admins and users will use to connect to the Amazon DCV Access Console. The Web Client host should also be able to send requests to the hosts the Handler and the Authentication Server are running on. By default, when running on separate hosts, the Handler and Authentication Server run on port 443, although this can be customized. Step 1: Prepare your environment 26 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide 1. Verify the host is able to accept requests on port 443 from the addresses that your users will 2. 3. be connecting from. Most likely, this will be any address. Take note of the public DNS. Load your certificate onto the instance and take note of the path to the certificate file, key file, and keystore file.

Load your certificate onto the instance and take note of the path to the certificate file, key file, and keystore file. If you do not already have a certificate, you can create one. For more information, see Generating a self-signed certificate. Step 2: Run the Setup Wizard The Setup Wizard will install the components and dependencies for the Access Console, and configure a single host to run all of the Access Console components. For more information on how to use the Setup Wizard see Using the Setup Wizard. Running the Setup Wizard in interactive mode Interactive mode is the default setup mode for the Amazon DCV Access Console. It will prompt you for information about the setup, including the DNS entries for each host, the paths to the certificates, and information about the Broker. The Wizard will generate the configuration files and save them to your specified location. 1. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the Amazon DCV Access Console components. 2. Run the following command: $ python3 wizard.py --not-onebox 3. Answer the series of questions that appear. These questions determine how to configure the Access Console. The Setup Wizard will finish by validating the installation was successful, then print the resolvable DNS of the host you provided. The Amazon DCV Access Console will be accessible at that address and any user present on that host will be able to login. Step 2: Run the Setup Wizard 27 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide Running the Setup Wizard in non-interactive mode Noninteractive mode is the manual setup mode for the Amazon DCV Access Console. This setup allows more configuration in your setup process. You will need to manually fill in the JSON file. For more information on modifying JSON parameters, see Loading a JSON file. 1. Go to the file wizard_input.json. This is the JSON file provided with the Wizard. 2. Modify the following parameters: • handler-address– The resolvable DNS of the host that the Handler will be installed on. • webclient-address– The resolvable DNS of the host that the Webclient will be installed on. • auth-server-address– The resolvable DNS of the host that the Authentication Server will be installed on. • broker-address– The resolvable DNS of the host that the Broker is running on. • broker-client-id– The Broker Client ID that was registered. • broker-client-password– The Broker Client Password that was registered. • show-cookie-link– If you want to display a link to a cookie disclaimer on the sign-in page, set this parameter to true. • cookie-link-target– Set this to the link you want your users to follow for the cookie disclaimer. If you set show-cookie-link to false, leave it as is. • show-privacy-link– If you want to display a link to a privacy disclaimer on the sign in page, set this parameter to true true. • privacy-link-target– Set this to the link you want your users to follow for the privacy disclaimer. If you set show-privacy-link to false, leave it as is. • handler-keystore-password– The password used by the keystore on the Handler host. Leave it as changeit unless you have changed it. • handler-keystore-path– The path to the keystore file on the Handler host. • auth-server-keystore-password– The password used by the keystore on the Authentication Server host. Leave it as changeit unless you have changed it. • auth-server-keystore-path– The path to the keystore file on the Handler host. • webclient-cert-path– The path to the certificate on the Webclient host. • webclient-cert-key-path– The path to the certificate key on the Webclient host. Step 2: Run the Setup Wizard 28 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide • pam-service-name– The name of the service to use for PAM authentication on the Authentication Server host. If you are installing on a RedHat-based host, use system-auth. If you are using Ubuntu/Debian, use common-auth. • mariadb-username– The username of the MariaDB user you created in Step 1 (if you choose MariaDB as your datastore). • mariadb-password– The password you chose for the MariaDB user you created in Step 1 (if you choose MariaDB as your datastore). Step 3: Install the components After preparing the Handler, Web Client, and Authentication Server components, you must install them on the hosts you prepared. Installing the Handler RHEL, CentOS, Amazon Linux 1. Connect to the host you set up for the Handler. 2. Move the Handler .rpm you downloaded to the host in Step 1: Prepare your environment. 3.

Console Guide Generating a self-signed certificate 39 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide Getting started with the Amazon DCV Session Manager console The following topic describes how to use the Session Manager console. Topics • Accessing the console Accessing the console After successfully setting up the console, you can access it from a custom URL, configured during setup, from a web browser. See the Requirements for a list of supported web browsers. Levels of access There are two levels of access that you might have when using the console. • Owner – You created the session. You may be an admin or a user. • Administrator – You are the admin, and are viewing a session created by one of your users. You have the same permissions as the owner, including connecting to and closing the session. Logging in to the Session Manager Console From the Console home page, you can log in using your Amazon DCV credentials. If you have trouble logging in, do one of the following: • If you are an administrator – You must debug the Auth Server. For more information, see Log in Errors in Troubleshooting. • If you are a user – Contact your administrator for assistance. Accessing the console 40 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide Using the Amazon DCV Access Console The following topic describes how to use the Amazon DCV Access Console. Topics • Sessions • Session templates • Hosts Sessions A session is a span of time when the Amazon DCV server is able to accept connections from a client. Each session has a specified owner and set of permissions. Before your clients can connect to a Amazon DCV session, you must create a Amazon DCV session on the Amazon DCV server. When you create a Amazon DCV session, you change the state of the server to accept connections from a client. Amazon DCV supports both console and virtual sessions. On the Sessions page, you can view sessions that you created yourself, and the detailed session information. If there are no available sessions, you must choose Create session to begin. Note If you experience issues accessing the sessions created outside of the console, you may need to debug that or delete that session. You can configure the visible fields in the top navigation bar by selecting the gear icon. To view more details in a split panel view, use the picker to select a session. Then select the caret (^) icon at the bottom-right corner of the page. By default, sessions that have been closed are hidden with a filter. You can remove the filter to see previously closed sessions. Sessions 41 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide Session details This includes the session parameters themselves.

There are a number of tools that Amazon DCV provides to help you in identifying any issues that occur with the Amazon DCV Access Console. You can use any of the following methods to help you identify possible problems. Topics • Using the component log files • Using browser and network log files • Managing the component processes • Handler fails to communicate with the broker • I'm having problems logging in • Known issues Using the component log files You can use the Amazon DCV Access Console component log files to identify and troubleshoot problems with the different Amazon DCV Access Console components. The component logs contain information about requests, responses, and errors regarding the component. The component access log files contain information about access, throttling, authentication, and authorization. The log files can be found in the following locations on the host server that the Amazon DCV components are running on: • Authentication Server /var/log/dcv-access-console-auth-server/DCV-access-console-auth- server.log /var/log/dcv-access-console-auth-server/DCV-access-console-auth-server- access.log • Handler Using the component log files 112 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide /var/log/dcv-access-console-handler/DCV-access-console-handler.log /var/log/dcv-access-console-handler/DCV-access-console-handler-access.log • Web Client /var/log/dcv-access-console-webclient/DCV-access-console-webclient.log /var/log/dcv-access-console-webclient/DCV-access-console-webclient- access.log • Ngnix /var/log/nginx/error.log /var/log/nginx/access.log The Amazon DCV Access Console components enable you to configure the verbosity level of the log files. The following verbosity levels are available: • error – Provides the least detail. Includes errors only. • warn – Includes errors and warnings. • info – The default verbosity level. Includes errors, warnings, and information messages. • debug – Provides the most detail. Provides detailed information that is useful for debugging issues.

Refresh the page. Errors are highlighted in red. Select an error to see more information about it. The Status Code in both the Headers and the Response tabs can be used to diagnose issues. Managing the component processes The Amazon DCV Access Console components, such as Authentication Server, Handler, Web Client, run while processes on their hosts and can be managed using the command systemctl. You can use this command to: • Check the status of a component • Stop a component • Start a component • Restart a component If your components are running on separate hosts, then each command must be executed on each corresponding host. Checking status of the components To check the statuses of the components, run the following commands on the hosts that the components are installed on. sudo systemctl status dcv-access-console-auth-server sudo systemctl status dcv-access-console-handler sudo systemctl status dcv-access-console-webclient Managing the component processes 115 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide Stopping the components To stop the component processes, run the following commands on the hosts that the components are installed on. sudo systemctl stop dcv-access-console-auth-server sudo systemctl stop dcv-access-console-handler sudo systemctl stop dcv-access-console-webclient Starting the components To start the component processes, run the following commands on the hosts that the components are installed on. sudo systemctl start dcv-access-console-auth-server sudo systemctl start dcv-access-console-handler sudo systemctl start dcv-access-console-webclient Restarting the components To restart the component processes, run the following commands on the hosts that the components are installed on. sudo systemctl restart dcv-access-console-auth-server sudo systemctl restart dcv-access-console-handler sudo systemctl restart dcv-access-console-webclient Handler fails to communicate with the broker If there are communication failures between Handler component and Session Manager Broker, “Broker authentication error” will appear in the browser logs or BrokerAuthenticationException: {"error":"unauthorized_client"} in the handler logs. This is due to the fact that the Broker has incorrect property files or the Handler is unable to connect to the Broker. Stopping the components 116 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide Incorrect Broker properties The Handler communicates with the Session Manager Broker using the properties specified in the session-manager-handler.properties file. If the property files are incorrect, communication issues can occur between the two. 1. On the host where the Handler is installed, navigate to the Handler properties file using your preferred text editor. /etc/dcv-access-console-handler/access-console-handler.properties 2. Verify that the broker-base-url points to the Broker URL with the client-to- broker-connector-https-port. For more information, see Broker configuration file in the Amazon DCV administrator guide. 3. Verify that the broker-auth-url points to the Broker authentication URL. 4. Verify that the broker-client-id and broker-client-password are correct. If you do not know the client-id and password you can register a new client using the register-api- client broker api. 5. Restart the Handler. sudo systemctl restart dcv-access-console-handler Handler is unable to connect to the Broker The Handler needs to connect to the Session Manager Broker on the client-to-broker- connector-https-port of the Broker. To verify that the Handler can connect to the Broker, run telnet to the Broker host name and the client-to-broker-connector-https-port (8443 by default) on the host where the Handler is installed. If you are unable to connect to the host where the Broker is installed, see Networking and connectivity for requirements. Example of a successful connection: telnet broker-host 8443 Trying broker-host ip address... Connected to broker-host. Incorrect Broker properties 117 Amazon DCV Access Console Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> ^C Console Guide I'm having problems logging in During login, the Web Client uses OAuth 2.0 with the Authentication Server to receive an access token that is used to obtain user information and other information from the Handler. If you experience errors logging in, it could be due to either an error contacting the Handler, or invalid PAM credentials if you configured your Console to use PAM. Error contacting the Handler If you see an “Error contacting the handler” message, this means that the Web Client is unable to contact the Handler. 1. Check the status of the handler and the handler components logs to diagnose the problem. 2. Check that the web browser is able to connect to the host running the Handler. You could do this by using telnet to test connectivity to the port. telnet handler-host 443 Trying handler-host ip address... Connected to handler-host. Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> ^C Invalid PAM credentials When the Authentication Server is setup to use PAM authentication, it validates the username and the password using the PAM method of the operating system on the host running the authentication server. Verify PAM authentication configuration 1. Connect to

of the handler and the handler components logs to diagnose the problem. 2. Check that the web browser is able to connect to the host running the Handler. You could do this by using telnet to test connectivity to the port. telnet handler-host 443 Trying handler-host ip address... Connected to handler-host. Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> ^C Invalid PAM credentials When the Authentication Server is setup to use PAM authentication, it validates the username and the password using the PAM method of the operating system on the host running the authentication server. Verify PAM authentication configuration 1. Connect to the host on which you are running the Authentication Server. 2. Navigate to /etc/dcv-access-console-auth-server/access-console-auth- server.properties . I'm having problems logging in 118 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide 3. Verify that pam-service-name is set to system-auth for Red Hat based systems or common-auth for Ubuntu/Debian. 4. Restart the Authentication Server. Gather more detailed information. 1. Connect to the host on which you are running the Authentication Server. 2. Navigate to /etc/dcv-access-console-auth-server/access-console-auth- server.properties. Enable pam-normalize-userid-enabled to true. Enable debug logs for the com.amazon.dcv.sm.ui.handler.authorization class. 3. 4. 5. Restart the Authentication Server. Note Enabling “Debug” logging prints the access and refreshes tokens in the logs. It is recommended you change the verbosity back to “Info” after debugging. Known issues The Amazon DCV Access Console has the following known issues. Cannot delete users from UI To prevent users from logging into the UI, users can be disabled. To disable users, import the users with the disabled column set to true for the user. Cannot manage Amazon DCV host servers While the Access Console allows administrators to view the underlying hosts they have the Amazon DCV sessions installed on. However, it does not allow administrators to manage those resources directly. If you wish to start, terminate, or reboot your hosts, you must do so from your cloud or on- premise environment directly. Known issues 119 Amazon DCV Access Console Security Console Guide Cloud security at AWS is the highest priority. As an AWS customer, you benefit from a data center and network architecture that is built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations. Security is a shared responsibility between AWS and you. The shared responsibility model describes this as security of the cloud and security in the cloud: • Security of the cloud – AWS is responsible for protecting the infrastructure that runs AWS services in the AWS Cloud. AWS also provides you with services that you can use securely. Third- party auditors regularly test and verify the effectiveness of our security as part of the AWS Compliance Programs. To learn about the compliance programs that apply to Amazon DCV, see AWS Services in Scope by Compliance Program. • Security in the cloud – Your responsibility is determined by the AWS service that you use. You are also responsible for other factors including the sensitivity of your data, your company’s requirements, and applicable laws and regulations. This documentation helps you understand how to apply the shared responsibility model when using Amazon DCV. The following topics show you how to configure Amazon DCV to meet your security and compliance objectives. You also learn how to use other AWS services that help you to monitor and secure your Amazon DCV resources. Contents • Data protection in Amazon DCV • Compliance validation for Amazon DCV Data protection in Amazon DCV The AWS shared responsibility model applies to data protection in Amazon DCV. As described in this model, AWS is responsible for protecting the global infrastructure that runs all of the AWS Cloud. You are responsible for maintaining control over your content that is hosted on this infrastructure. You are also responsible for the security configuration and management tasks for the AWS services that you use. For more information about data privacy, see the Data Privacy FAQ. For information about data protection in Europe, see the AWS Shared Responsibility Model and GDPR blog post on the AWS Security Blog. Data protection 120 Amazon DCV Access Console Console Guide For data protection purposes, we recommend that you protect AWS account credentials and set up individual users with AWS IAM Identity Center or AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). That way, each user is given only the permissions necessary to fulfill their job duties. We also recommend that you secure your data in the following ways: • Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) with each account. • Use SSL/TLS to communicate with AWS resources. We require TLS 1.2 and recommend TLS 1.3. • Set up API and user activity logging with AWS CloudTrail. For information about using CloudTrail trails to capture AWS activities, see Working with CloudTrail trails in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide. • Use AWS encryption solutions, along with all default security controls within AWS services. • Use

(IAM). That way, each user is given only the permissions necessary to fulfill their job duties. We also recommend that you secure your data in the following ways: • Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) with each account. • Use SSL/TLS to communicate with AWS resources. We require TLS 1.2 and recommend TLS 1.3. • Set up API and user activity logging with AWS CloudTrail. For information about using CloudTrail trails to capture AWS activities, see Working with CloudTrail trails in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide. • Use AWS encryption solutions, along with all default security controls within AWS services. • Use advanced managed security services such as Amazon Macie, which assists in discovering and securing sensitive data that is stored in Amazon S3. • If you require FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules when accessing AWS through a command line interface or an API, use a FIPS endpoint. For more information about the available FIPS endpoints, see Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3. We strongly recommend that you never put confidential or sensitive information, such as your customers' email addresses, into tags or free-form text fields such as a Name field. This includes when you work with Amazon DCV or other AWS services using the console, API, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. Any data that you enter into tags or free-form text fields used for names may be used for billing or diagnostic logs. If you provide a URL to an external server, we strongly recommend that you do not include credentials information in the URL to validate your request to that server. Data encryption A key feature of any secure service is that information is encrypted when it is not being actively used. Encryption at rest Amazon DCV does not itself store any customer data. Data on Amazon DCV Server host can be encrypted at rest. When using Amazon DCV on AWS, please refer to the Encryption at rest section in the Amazon EC2 User Guide and to the Encryption at rest section in the Amazon EC2 User Guide. Data encryption 121 Amazon DCV Access Console Encryption in transit Console Guide All data transmitted from the Amazon DCV Client and Amazon DCV Server is encrypted by sending everything through a HTTPS/TLS connection. To configure the certificates refer Managing the TLS certificate. Compliance validation for Amazon DCV Third-party auditors assess the security and compliance of AWS services as part of multiple AWS compliance programs. Using Amazon DCV to access a service does not alter that service's compliance. For a list of AWS services in scope of specific compliance programs, see AWS services in scope by compliance program. For general information, see AWS compliance programs. You can download third-party audit reports using the AWS Artifact. For more information, see Downloading reports in AWS Artifact. Your compliance responsibility when using Amazon DCV is determined by the sensitivity of your data, your company's compliance objectives, and applicable laws and regulations. AWS provides the following resources to help with compliance: • Security and compliance quick start guides – These deployment guides discuss architectural considerations and provide steps for deploying security- and compliance-focused baseline environments on AWS. • AWS compliance resources – This collection of workbooks and guides might apply to your industry and location. • Evaluating resources with rules in the AWS Config Developer Guide – The AWS Config service assesses how well your resource configurations comply with internal practices, industry guidelines, and regulations. • AWS Security Hub – This AWS service provides a comprehensive view of your security state within AWS that helps you check your compliance with security industry standards and best practices.

vii AWS Certificate Manager Welcome API Reference Welcome to the AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) API Reference. This guide provides descriptions, syntax, and usage examples for each ACM API operation. You can use ACM to manage SSL/TLS certificates for your AWS-based websites and applications. For general information about using ACM, see the AWS Certificate Manager User Guide. Instead of using the ACM API directly, you can use one of the AWS SDKs or command line tools to interact with the ACM API. These tools are available for a variety of programming languages and platforms. For more information, see Tools for Amazon Web Services. Signing API Requests You must sign your API requests to ACM using Signature Version 4. When you use the AWS SDKs and command line tools, they sign API requests for you. If you do not use these tools, you must calculate the signature yourself. For more information, see Signature Version 4 Signing Process in the Amazon Web Services General Reference. API Version 2015-12-08 1 AWS Certificate Manager Actions The following actions are supported: • AddTagsToCertificate • DeleteCertificate • DescribeCertificate • ExportCertificate • GetAccountConfiguration • GetCertificate • ImportCertificate • ListCertificates • ListTagsForCertificate • PutAccountConfiguration • RemoveTagsFromCertificate • RenewCertificate • RequestCertificate • ResendValidationEmail • UpdateCertificateOptions API Reference API Version 2015-12-08 2 AWS Certificate Manager API Reference AddTagsToCertificate Adds one or more tags to an ACM certificate. Tags are labels that you can use to identify and organize your AWS resources. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You specify the certificate on input by its Amazon Resource Name (ARN). You specify the tag by using a key-value pair. You can apply a tag to just one certificate if you want to identify a specific characteristic of that certificate, or you can apply the same tag to multiple certificates if you want to filter for a common relationship among those certificates. Similarly, you can apply the same tag to multiple resources if you want to specify a relationship among those resources. For example, you can add the same tag to an ACM certificate and an Elastic Load Balancing load balancer to indicate that they are both used by the same website. For more information, see Tagging ACM certificates. To remove one or more tags, use the RemoveTagsFromCertificate action. To view all of the tags that have been applied to the certificate, use the ListTagsForCertificate action. Request Syntax { "CertificateArn": "string", "Tags": [ { "Key": "string", "Value": "string" } ] } Request Parameters For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

integrated with ACM. Note that integrated services allow only certificate types and keys they support to be associated with their resources. Further, their support differs depending on whether the certificate is imported into IAM or into ACM. For more information, see the documentation for each service. For more information about importing certificates into ACM, see Importing Certificates in the AWS Certificate Manager User Guide. Note ACM does not provide managed renewal for certificates that you import. Note the following guidelines when importing third party certificates: • You must enter the private key that matches the certificate you are importing. • The private key must be unencrypted. You cannot import a private key that is protected by a password or a passphrase. • The private key must be no larger than 5 KB (5,120 bytes). • The certificate, private key, and certificate chain must be PEM-encoded. • The current time must be between the Not Before and Not After certificate fields. • The Issuer field must not be empty. • The OCSP authority URL, if present, must not exceed 1000 characters. • To import a new certificate, omit the CertificateArn argument. Include this argument only when you want to replace a previously imported certificate. • When you import a certificate by using the CLI, you must specify the certificate, the certificate chain, and the private key by their file names preceded by fileb://. For example, you can specify a certificate saved in the C:\temp folder as fileb://C:\temp \certificate_to_import.pem. If you are making an HTTP or HTTPS Query request, include these arguments as BLOBs. • When you import a certificate by using an SDK, you must specify the certificate, the certificate chain, and the private key files in the manner required by the programming language you're using. ImportCertificate API Version 2015-12-08 30 AWS Certificate Manager API Reference • The cryptographic algorithm of an imported certificate must match the algorithm of the signing CA. For example, if the signing CA key type is RSA, then the certificate key type must also be RSA. This operation returns the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the imported certificate.

Reference Requests an ACM certificate for use with other AWS services. To request an ACM certificate, you must specify a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the DomainName parameter. You can also specify additional FQDNs in the SubjectAlternativeNames parameter. If you are requesting a private certificate, domain validation is not required. If you are requesting a public certificate, each domain name that you specify must be validated to verify that you own or control the domain. You can use DNS validation or email validation. We recommend that you use DNS validation. ACM issues public certificates after receiving approval from the domain owner. Note ACM behavior differs from the RFC 6125 specification of the certificate validation process. ACM first checks for a Subject Alternative Name, and, if it finds one, ignores the common name (CN). After successful completion of the RequestCertificate action, there is a delay of several seconds before you can retrieve information about the new certificate. Request Syntax { "CertificateAuthorityArn": "string", "DomainName": "string", "DomainValidationOptions": [ { "DomainName": "string", "ValidationDomain": "string" } ], "IdempotencyToken": "string", "KeyAlgorithm": "string", "ManagedBy": "string", "Options": { "CertificateTransparencyLoggingPreference": "string" }, "SubjectAlternativeNames": [ "string" ], "Tags": [ { RequestCertificate API Version 2015-12-08 56 AWS Certificate Manager API Reference "Key": "string", "Value": "string" } ], "ValidationMethod": "string" } Request Parameters For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters. The request accepts the following data in JSON format. Note In the following list, the required parameters are described first. DomainName Fully qualified domain name (FQDN), such as www.example.com, that you want to secure with an ACM certificate. Use an asterisk (*) to create a wildcard certificate that protects several sites in the same domain. For example, *.example.com protects www.example.com, site.example.com, and images.example.com. In compliance with RFC 5280, the length of the domain name (technically, the Common Name) that you provide cannot exceed 64 octets (characters), including periods. To add a longer domain name, specify it in the Subject Alternative Name field, which supports names up to 253 octets in length. Type: String Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 253. Pattern: (\*\.)?(((?!-)[A-Za-z0-9-]{0,62}[A-Za-z0-9])\.)+((?!-)[A-Za-z0-9-] {1,62}[A-Za-z0-9]) Required: Yes CertificateAuthorityArn The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the private certificate authority (CA) that will be used to issue the certificate. If you do not provide an ARN and you are trying to request a private Request Parameters API Version 2015-12-08 57 AWS Certificate Manager API Reference certificate, ACM will attempt to issue a public certificate. For more information about private CAs, see the AWS Private Certificate Authority user guide. The ARN must have the following form: arn:aws:acm-pca:region:account:certificate- authority/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012 Type: String Length Constraints: Minimum length of 20. Maximum length of 2048. Pattern: arn:[\w+=/,.@-]+:acm-pca:[\w+=/,.@-]*:[0-9]+:[\w+=,.@-]+(/[\w +=,.@-]+)* Required: No DomainValidationOptions The domain name that you want ACM to use to send you emails so that you can validate domain ownership. Type: Array of DomainValidationOption objects Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 100 items. Required: No IdempotencyToken Customer chosen string that can be used to distinguish between calls to RequestCertificate. Idempotency tokens time out after one hour. Therefore, if you call RequestCertificate multiple times with the same idempotency token within one hour, ACM recognizes that you are requesting only one certificate and will issue only one. If you change the idempotency token for each call, ACM recognizes that you are requesting multiple certificates. Type: String Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 32. Pattern: \w+ Required: No Request Parameters API Version 2015-12-08 58 AWS Certificate Manager KeyAlgorithm API Reference Specifies the algorithm of the public and private key pair that your certificate uses to encrypt data. RSA is the default key algorithm for ACM certificates. Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) keys are smaller, offering security comparable to RSA keys but with greater computing efficiency. However, ECDSA is not supported by all network clients. Some AWS services may require RSA keys, or only support ECDSA keys of a particular size, while others allow the use of either RSA and ECDSA keys to ensure that compatibility is not broken. Check the requirements for the AWS service where you plan to deploy your certificate. For more information about selecting an algorithm, see Key algorithms. Note Algorithms supported for an ACM certificate request include: • RSA_2048 • EC_prime256v1 • EC_secp384r1 Other listed algorithms are for imported certificates only. Note When you request a private PKI certificate signed by a CA from AWS Private CA, the specified signing algorithm family (RSA or ECDSA) must match the algorithm family of the CA's secret key. Default: RSA_2048 Type: String Valid Values: RSA_1024 | RSA_2048 | RSA_3072 | RSA_4096 | EC_prime256v1 | EC_secp384r1 | EC_secp521r1 Required: No ManagedBy Identifies the AWS service that manages the certificate issued by ACM.

Request Parameters API Version 2015-12-08 59 AWS Certificate Manager Type: String Valid Values: CLOUDFRONT Required: No Options API Reference Currently, you can use this parameter to specify whether to add the certificate to a certificate transparency log. Certificate transparency makes it possible to detect SSL/TLS certificates that have been mistakenly or maliciously issued. Certificates that have not been logged typically produce an error message in a browser. For more information, see Opting Out of Certificate Transparency Logging. Type: CertificateOptions object Required: No SubjectAlternativeNames Additional FQDNs to be included in the Subject Alternative Name extension of the ACM certificate. For example, add the name www.example.net to a certificate for which the DomainName field is www.example.com if users can reach your site by using either name. The maximum number of domain names that you can add to an ACM certificate is 100. However, the initial quota is 10 domain names. If you need more than 10 names, you must request a quota increase. For more information, see Quotas. The maximum length of a SAN DNS name is 253 octets. The name is made up of multiple labels separated by periods. No label can be longer than 63 octets. Consider the following examples: • (63 octets).(63 octets).(63 octets).(61 octets) is legal because the total length is 253 octets (63+1+63+1+63+1+61) and no label exceeds 63 octets. • (64 octets).(63 octets).(63 octets).(61 octets) is not legal because the total length exceeds 253 octets (64+1+63+1+63+1+61) and the first label exceeds 63 octets. • (63 octets).(63 octets).(63 octets).(62 octets) is not legal because the total length of the DNS name (63+1+63+1+63+1+62) exceeds 253 octets.

The domain owner or an authorized representative must approve the ACM certificate before it can be issued. The certificate can be approved by clicking a link in the mail to navigate to the Amazon certificate approval website and then clicking I Approve. However, the validation email can be blocked by spam filters. Therefore, if you do not receive the original mail, you can request that the mail be resent within 72 hours of requesting the ACM certificate. If more than 72 hours have elapsed since your original request or since your last attempt to resend validation mail, you must request a new certificate. For more information about setting up your contact email addresses, see Configure Email for your Domain. Request Syntax { "CertificateArn": "string", "Domain": "string", "ValidationDomain": "string" } Request Parameters For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters. The request accepts the following data in JSON format. Note In the following list, the required parameters are described first. CertificateArn String that contains the ARN of the requested certificate. The certificate ARN is generated and returned by the RequestCertificate action as soon as the request is made. By default, using this parameter causes email to be sent to all top-level domains you specified in the certificate request. The ARN must be of the form: arn:aws:acm:us- east-1:123456789012:certificate/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012 ResendValidationEmail API Version 2015-12-08 66 AWS Certificate Manager Type: String API Reference Length Constraints: Minimum length of 20.

AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) handles the complexity of creating, storing, and renewing public and private SSL/TLS X.509 certificates and keys that protect your AWS websites and applications. You can provide certificates for your integrated AWS services either by issuing them directly with ACM or by importing third-party certificates into the ACM management system. ACM certificates can secure singular domain names, multiple specific domain names, wildcard domains, or combinations of these. ACM wildcard certificates can protect an unlimited number of subdomains. You can also export ACM certificates signed by AWS Private CA for use anywhere in your internal PKI. Note ACM is not intended for use with a stand-alone web server. If you want to set up a stand- alone secure server on an Amazon EC2 instance, the following tutorial has instructions: Configure SSL/TLS on Amazon Linux 2023. Topics • Supported Regions • Pricing for AWS Certificate Manager • AWS Certificate Manager concepts • What is the right AWS certificate service for my needs? Supported Regions ACM supports IPv4 and IPv6 on public endpoints. Visit AWS Regions and Endpoints in the AWS General Reference or the AWS Region Table to see the regional availability for ACM. Certificates in ACM are regional resources. To use a certificate with Elastic Load Balancing for the same fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or set of FQDNs in more than one AWS region, you must request or import a certificate for each region. For certificates provided by ACM, this means you must revalidate each domain name in the certificate for each region. You cannot copy a certificate between regions. Supported Regions Version 1.0 1 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide To use an ACM certificate with Amazon CloudFront, you must request or import the certificate in the US East (N. Virginia) region. ACM certificates in this region that are associated with a CloudFront distribution are distributed to all the geographic locations configured for that distribution. Pricing for AWS Certificate Manager You are not subject to an additional charge for SSL/TLS certificates that you manage with AWS Certificate Manager. You pay only for the AWS resources that you create to run your website or application. For the latest ACM pricing information, see the AWS Certificate Manager Service Pricing page on the AWS website. AWS Certificate Manager concepts This section provides definitions of concepts used by AWS Certificate Manager.

The other roots are reserved for future use. All of the roots are cross-signed by the Starfield Services Root Certificate Authority certificate. For more information, see Amazon Trust Services. Apex Domain See Domain Names. Asymmetric Key Cryptography Unlike Symmetric Key Cryptography, asymmetric cryptography uses different but mathematically related keys to encrypt and decrypt content. One of the keys is public and is typically made available in an X.509 v3 certificate. The other key is private and is stored securely. The X.509 certificate binds the identity of a user, computer, or other resource (the certificate subject) to the public key. ACM Root CAs Version 1.0 5 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide ACM certificates are X.509 SSL/TLS certificates that bind the identity of your website and the details of your organization to the public key that is contained in the certificate. ACM uses your AWS KMS key to encrypt the private key. For more information, see Security for certificate private keys. Certificate Authority A certificate authority (CA) is an entity that issues digital certificates. Commercially, the most common type of digital certificate is based on the ISO X.509 standard. The CA issues signed digital certificates that affirm the identity of the certificate subject and bind that identity to the public key contained in the certificate. A CA also typically manages certificate revocation. Certificate Transparency Logging To guard against SSL/TLS certificates that are issued by mistake or by a compromised CA, some browsers require that public certificates issued for your domain be recorded in a certificate transparency log. The domain name is recorded. The private key is not. Certificates that are not logged typically generate an error in the browser. You can monitor the logs to make sure that only certificates you have authorized have been issued for your domain. You can use a service such as Certificate Search to check the logs. Before the Amazon CA issues a publicly trusted SSL/TLS certificate for your domain, it submits the certificate to at least three certificate transparency log servers. These servers add the certificate to their public databases and return a signed certificate timestamp (SCT) to the Amazon CA. The CA then embeds the SCT in the certificate, signs the certificate, and issues it to you. The timestamps are included with other X.509 extensions. X509v3 extensions: CT Precertificate SCTs: Signed Certificate Timestamp: Version : v1(0) Log ID : BB:D9:DF:...8E:1E:D1:85 Timestamp : Apr 24 23:43:15.598 2018 GMT Extensions: none Signature : ecdsa-with-SHA256 30:45:02:...18:CB:79:2F Signed Certificate Timestamp: Version : v1(0) Certificate Authority Version 1.0 6 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Log ID : 87:75:BF:...A0:83:0F Timestamp : Apr 24 23:43:15.565 2018 GMT Extensions: none Signature : ecdsa-with-SHA256 30:45:02:...29:8F:6C Certificate transparency logging is automatic when you request or renew a certificate unless you choose to opt out. For more information about opt out, see Opting out of certificate transparency logging. Domain Name System The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers and other resources connected to the internet or a private network. DNS is primarily used to translate textual domain names, such as aws.amazon.com, into numerical IP (Internet Protocol) addresses of the form 111.122.133.144. The DNS database for your domain, however, contains a

For more information about opt out, see Opting out of certificate transparency logging. Domain Name System The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers and other resources connected to the internet or a private network. DNS is primarily used to translate textual domain names, such as aws.amazon.com, into numerical IP (Internet Protocol) addresses of the form 111.122.133.144. The DNS database for your domain, however, contains a number of records that can be used for other purposes. For example, with ACM you can use a CNAME record to validate that you own or control a domain when you request a certificate. For more information, see AWS Certificate Manager DNS validation. Domain Names A domain name is a text string such as www.example.com that can be translated by the Domain Name System (DNS) into an IP address. Computer networks, including the internet, use IP addresses rather than text names. A domain name consists of distinct labels separated by periods: TLD The rightmost label is called the top-level domain (TLD). Common examples include .com, .net, and .edu. Also, the TLD for entities registered in some countries is an abbreviation of the country name and is called a country code. Examples include .uk for the United Kingdom, .ru for Russia, and .fr for France. When country codes are used, a second-level hierarchy for the TLD is often introduced to identify the type of the registered entity. For example, the .co.uk TLD identifies commercial enterprises in the United Kingdom. Apex domain The apex domain name includes and expands on the top-level domain. For domain names that include a country code, the apex domain includes the code and the labels, if any, that Domain Name System Version 1.0 7 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide identify the type of the registered entity. The apex domain does not include subdomains (see the following paragraph). In www.example.com, the name of the apex domain is example.com. In www.example.co.uk, the name of the apex domain is example.co.uk. Other names that are often used instead of apex include base, bare, root, root apex, or zone apex. Subdomain Subdomain names precede the apex domain name and are separated from it and from each other by a period. The most common subdomain name is www, but any name is possible. Subdomain names can also have multiple levels. For example, in jake.dog.animals.example.com, the subdomains are jake, dog, and animals in that order. Superdomain The domain to which a subdomain belongs. FQDN A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is the complete DNS name for a computer, website, or other resource connected to a network or to the internet. For example aws.amazon.com is the FQDN for Amazon Web Services. An FQDN includes all domains up to the top–level domain. For example, [subdomain1].[subdomain2]...[subdomainn].[apex domain].[top–level domain] represents the general format of an FQDN. PQDN A domain name that is not fully qualified is called a partially qualified domain name (PQDN) and is ambiguous. A name such as [subdomain1.subdomain2.] is a PQDN because the root domain cannot be determined. Encryption and Decryption Encryption is the process of providing data confidentiality. Decryption reverses the process and recovers the original data. Unencrypted data is typically called plaintext whether it is text or not. Encrypted data is typically called ciphertext. HTTPS encryption of messages between clients and servers uses algorithms and keys. Algorithms define the step-by-step procedure by which plaintext data is converted into ciphertext (encryption) and ciphertext is converted back into the original plaintext (decryption). Keys are used by algorithms during the encryption or decryption process. Keys can be either private or public. Encryption and Decryption Version 1.0 8 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) See Domain Names. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the foundation of data communication on the World Wide Web. It's an application-layer protocol that enables the exchange of various content types. HTTP operates on a client-server model, where web browsers typically act as clients requesting resources from web servers. As a stateless protocol, HTTP treats each request independently, without retaining information from previous requests. In the context of ACM, HTTP can be used for domain validation when issuing SSL/TLS certificates. This process involves ACM sending specific HTTP requests to verify domain ownership. The server's ability to respond correctly to these requests demonstrates control over the domain. Unlike email or DNS-validated certificates, ACM customers can't issue HTTP-validated certificates directly from ACM. Instead, these certificates are automatically issued and managed as part of the CloudFront provisioning process. Customers can use ACM to view, monitor, and manage these certificates, but the initial issuance is handled by the integration

each request independently, without retaining information from previous requests. In the context of ACM, HTTP can be used for domain validation when issuing SSL/TLS certificates. This process involves ACM sending specific HTTP requests to verify domain ownership. The server's ability to respond correctly to these requests demonstrates control over the domain. Unlike email or DNS-validated certificates, ACM customers can't issue HTTP-validated certificates directly from ACM. Instead, these certificates are automatically issued and managed as part of the CloudFront provisioning process. Customers can use ACM to view, monitor, and manage these certificates, but the initial issuance is handled by the integration between ACM and CloudFront. While HTTP is widely used, it's important to note that it transmits data in plain text. For secure communication, HTTPS (HTTP Secure) is used, which encrypts the data using SSL/TLS protocols. For more information on secure communications, see Secure HTTPS. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a system of processes, technologies, and policies that enables secure communication over public networks. In the context of ACM, PKI plays a crucial role in the issuance, management, and validation of digital certificates. PKI uses a pair of cryptographic keys: a public key that is freely distributed, and a private key that is kept secret by the owner. This system allows for secure data transmission, digital signatures, and authentication of digital entities. ACM implements several key components of PKI. It acts as a Certificate Authority (CA), a trusted third party that issues digital certificates, binding public keys to entities such as domains or organizations. ACM issues X.509 certificates, which contain information about the entity, its public key, and the certificate's validity period. It also handles the complete lifecycle of certificates, including issuance, renewal, and revocation. To ensure the legitimacy of certificate requests, Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) Version 1.0 9 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide ACM supports various methods to validate domain ownership, such as DNS validation and HTTP validation. By leveraging PKI, ACM enables secure HTTPS connections, digital signatures, and encrypted communication for AWS resources and applications. This infrastructure is essential for maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data transmitted over the internet. For more information on how ACM implements PKI, see AWS Certificate Manager certificates. Root Certificate A certificate authority (CA) typically exists within a hierarchical structure that contains multiple other CAs with clearly defined parent-child relationships between them. Child or subordinate CAs are certified by their parent CAs, creating a certificate chain. The CA at the top of the hierarchy is referred to as the root CA, and its certificate is called the root certificate. This certificate is typically self-signed. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are cryptographic protocols that provide communication security over a computer network. TLS is the successor of SSL. They both use X.509 certificates to authenticate the server. Both protocols negotiate a symmetric key between the client and the server that is used to encrypt data flowing between the two entities. Secure HTTPS HTTPS stands for HTTP over SSL/TLS, a secure form of HTTP that is supported by all major browsers and servers. All HTTP requests and responses are encrypted before being sent across a network. HTTPS combines the HTTP protocol with symmetric, asymmetric, and X.509 certificate- based cryptographic techniques. HTTPS works by inserting a cryptographic security layer below the HTTP application layer and above the TCP transport layer in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. The security layer uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol or the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. SSL Server Certificates HTTPS transactions require server certificates to authenticate a server. A server certificate is an X.509 v3 data structure that binds the public key in the certificate to the subject of the certificate. An SSL/TLS certificate is signed by a certificate authority (CA) and contains the name of the server, the validity period, the public key, the signature algorithm, and more. Root Certificate Version 1.0 10 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Symmetric Key Cryptography Symmetric key cryptography uses the same key to both encrypt and decrypt digital data. See also Asymmetric Key Cryptography. Transport Layer Security (TLS) See Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Trust In order for a web browser to trust the identity of a website, the browser must be able to verify the website's certificate. Browsers, however, trust only a small number of certificates known as CA root certificates. A trusted third party, known as a certificate authority (CA), validates the identity of the website and issues a signed digital certificate to the website's operator. The browser can then check the digital signature to validate the identity of the website. If validation is successful, the browser displays a lock icon in the address bar.

What is the right AWS certificate service for my needs? AWS offers two options to customers deploying managed X.509 certificates. Choose the best one for your needs. 1. AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)—This service is for enterprise customers who need a secure web presence using TLS. ACM certificates are deployed through Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon API Gateway, and other integrated AWS services. The most common application of this kind is a secure public website with significant traffic requirements. ACM also simplifies security management by automating the renewal of expiring certificates. You are in the right place for this service. 2. AWS Private CA—This service is for enterprise customers building a public key infrastructure (PKI) inside the AWS cloud and intended for private use within an organization. With AWS Private CA, you can create your own certificate authority (CA) hierarchy and issue certificates with it for authenticating users, computers, applications, services, servers, and other devices. Certificates issued by a private CA cannot be used on the internet. For more information, see the AWS Private CA User Guide. Symmetric Key Cryptography Version 1.0 11 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide AWS Certificate Manager certificates ACM manages public, private, and imported certificates. Certificates are used to establish secure communications across the internet or within an internal network. You can request a publicly trusted certificate directly from ACM (an "ACM certificate"), import a publicly trusted certificate issued by a third party. Self-signed certificates are also supported. To provision your organization's internal PKI, you can issue ACM certificates signed by a private certificate authority (CA) created and managed by AWS Private CA. The CA may either reside in your account or be shared with you by a different account. Note Public ACM certificates can be installed on Amazon EC2 instances that are connected to a Nitro Enclave, but not to other Amazon EC2 instances. For information about setting up a standalone web server on an Amazon EC2 instance not connected to a Nitro Enclave, see Tutorial: Install a LAMP web server on Amazon Linux 2 or Tutorial: Install a LAMP web server with the Amazon Linux AMI. Note Because certificates signed by a private CA are not trusted by default, administrators must install them in client trust stores. To begin issuing certificates, sign into the AWS Management Console and open the ACM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/acm/home. If the introductory page appears, choose Get Started. Otherwise, choose Certificate Manager or Private CAs in the left navigation pane.

For instructions, see Add groups in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide. Register a domain name for ACM A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is the unique name of an organization or individual on the Internet followed by a top-level domain extension such as .com or .org. If you do not already have a registered domain name, you can register one through Amazon Route 53 or dozens of other commercial registrars. Typically you go to the registrar's website and request a domain name. Domain name registration usually lasts for a set period of time such as one or two years before it must be renewed. For more information about registering domain names with Amazon Route 53, see Registering Domain Names Using Amazon Route 53 in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide. (Optional) Configure a CAA record A CAA record specifies which certificate authorities (CAs) are allowed to issue certificates for a domain or subdomain. Creating a CAA record for use with ACM helps to prevent the wrong CAs from issuing certificates for your domains. A CAA record isn't a substitute for the security requirements that are specified by your certificate authority, such as the requirement to validate that you're the owner of a domain. After ACM validates your domain during the certificate request process, it checks for the presence of a CAA record to make sure it can issue a certificate for you. Configuring a CAA record is optional. Use the following values when you configure your CAA record: flags Specifies whether the value of the tag field is supported by ACM. Set this value to 0. Register a domain name Version 1.0 15 AWS Certificate Manager tag User Guide The tag field can be one of the following values.

Note that the iodef field is currently ignored. issue Indicates that the ACM CA that you specify in the value field is authorized to issue a certificate for your domain or subdomain. issuewild Indicates that the ACM CA that you specified in the value field is authorized to issue a wildcard certificate for your domain or subdomain. A wildcard certificate applies to the domain or subdomain and all of its subdomains. Note that if you plan to use HTTP validation, this setting won't apply because HTTP validation doesn't support wildcard certificates. Use DNS or email validation instead for wildcard certificates. value The value of this field depends on the value of the tag field. You must enclose this value in quotation marks (""). When tag is issue The value field contains the CA domain name. This field can contain the name of a CA other than an Amazon CA. However, if you do not have a CAA record that specifies one of the following four Amazon CAs, ACM cannot issue a certificate to your domain or subdomain: • amazon.com • amazontrust.com • awstrust.com • amazonaws.com The value field can also contain a semicolon (;) to indicate that no CA should be permitted to issue a certificate for your domain or subdomain. Use this field if you decide at some point that you no longer want a certificate issued for a particular domain. When tag is issuewild The value field is the same as that for when tag is issue except that the value applies to wildcard certificates. (Optional) Configure a CAA record Version 1.0 16 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide When there is an issuewild CAA record present that does not include an ACM CA value, then no wild cards can be issued by ACM. If there is no issuewild present, but there is an issue CAA record for ACM, then wild cards may be issued by ACM. Example CAA Record Examples In the following examples, your domain name comes first followed by the record type (CAA). The flags field is always 0. The tags field can be issue or issuewild. If the field is issue and you type the domain name of a CA server in the value field, the CAA record indicates that your specified server is permitted to issue your requested certificate. If you type a semicolon ";" in the value field, the CAA record indicates that no CA is permitted to issue a certificate. The configuration of CAA records varies by DNS provider. Important If you plan to use HTTP validation with CloudFront, you don't need to configure issuewild records because HTTP validation doesn't support wildcard certificates. For wildcard certificates, use DNS or email validation instead. Domain Record type Flags Tag Value example.com. CAA 0 issue "SomeCA.com" Domain Record type Flags Tag Value example.com.

Route 53 supports CAA records. If Route 53 is your DNS provider, see CAA Format for more information about creating a record. AWS Certificate Manager public certificates After you request a public certificate you must validate domain ownership, as described in Validate domain ownership for AWS Certificate Manager public certificates. Public ACM certificates follow the X.509 standard and are subject to the following restrictions: • Names: You must use DNS-compliant subject names. For more information, see Domain Names. • Algorithm: For encryption, the certificate private key algorithm must be either 2048-bit RSA, 256-bit ECDSA, or 384-bit ECDSA. • Expiration: Each certificate is valid for 13 months (395 days). • Renewal: ACM attempts to renew a private certificate automatically after 11 months. Administrators can use ACM Conditional Key Policies to control how end users issue new certificates. These Conditional keys allow restrictions to be placed on domains, validation methods, and other attributes related to a certificate request. If you encounter problems when requesting a certificate, see Troubleshoot certificate requests. To request a certificate for a private PKI using AWS Private CA, see Request a private certificate in AWS Certificate Manager. AWS Certificate Manager public certificate characteristics and limitations Public certificates provided by ACM have the following characteristics and limitations. These apply only to certificates provided by ACM. They

automatically after 11 months. Administrators can use ACM Conditional Key Policies to control how end users issue new certificates. These Conditional keys allow restrictions to be placed on domains, validation methods, and other attributes related to a certificate request. If you encounter problems when requesting a certificate, see Troubleshoot certificate requests. To request a certificate for a private PKI using AWS Private CA, see Request a private certificate in AWS Certificate Manager. AWS Certificate Manager public certificate characteristics and limitations Public certificates provided by ACM have the following characteristics and limitations. These apply only to certificates provided by ACM. They might not apply to imported certificates. Browser and application trust ACM certificates are trusted by all major browsers including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari. Browsers display a lock icon when connected by TLS to sites using ACM certificates. Java also trusts ACM certificates. Public certificates Version 1.0 18 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Certificate authority and hierarchy Public certificates requested through ACM come from Amazon Trust Services, an Amazon- managed public certificate authority (CA). Amazon Root CAs 1 to 4 are cross-signed by Starfield G2 Root Certificate Authority – G2. Starfield root is trusted on Android (later Gingerbread versions) and iOS (version 4.1+). Amazon roots are trusted by iOS 11+. Browsers, applications, or OSes including Amazon or Starfield roots will trust ACM public certificates. ACM issues leaf or end-entity certificates to customers through intermediate CAs, randomly assigned based on the certificate type (RSA or ECDSA). ACM doesn't provide intermediate CA information due to this random selection. Domain Validation (DV) ACM certificates are domain validated, identifying only a domain name. When requesting an ACM certificate, you must prove ownership or control of all specified domains. You can validate ownership using email or DNS. For more information, see AWS Certificate Manager email validation and AWS Certificate Manager DNS validation. HTTP validation ACM supports HTTP validation for domain ownership verification when issuing public TLS certificates for use with CloudFront. This method uses HTTP redirects to prove domain ownership and offers automatic renewal similar to DNS validation. HTTP validation is currently only available through the CloudFront Distribution Tenants feature. HTTP redirect For HTTP validation, ACM provides a RedirectFrom URL and a RedirectTo URL. You must set up a redirect from RedirectFrom to RedirectTo to demonstrate domain control. The RedirectFrom URL includes the validated domain, while RedirectTo points to an ACM- controlled location in the CloudFront infrastructure containing a unique validation token. Managed by Certificates in ACM managed by another service show that service's identity in the ManagedBy field. For certificates using HTTP validation with CloudFront, this field displays "CLOUDFRONT". These certificates can only be used through CloudFront. The ManagedBy field appears in the DescribeCertificate and ListCertificates APIs, and on the certificates inventory and details pages in the ACM console. Characteristics and limitations Version 1.0 19 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide The ManagedBy field is mutually exclusive with the "Can be used with" attribute. For CloudFront-managed certificates, you can't add new usages through other AWS services. You can only use these certificates with more resources through the CloudFront API. Intermediate and root CA rotation Amazon may discontinue an intermediate CA without notice to maintain a resilient certificate infrastructure. These changes don't impact customers. For more information, see "Amazon introduces dynamic intermediate certificate authorities". If Amazon discontinues a root CA, the change will occur as quickly as needed. Amazon will use all available methods to notify AWS customers, including the AWS Health Dashboard, email, and outreach to technical account managers. Firewall access for revocation Revoked end-entity certificates use OCSP and CRLs to verify and publish revocation information. Some customer firewalls may need additional rules to allow these mechanisms. Use these URL wildcard patterns to identify revocation traffic: • OCSP http://ocsp.?????.amazontrust.com http://ocsp.*.amazontrust.com • CRL http://crl.?????.amazontrust.com/?????.crl http://crl.*.amazontrust.com/*.crl An asterisk (*) represents one or more alphanumeric characters, a question mark (?) represents a single alphanumeric character, and a hash mark (#) represents a numeral. Key algorithms Certificates must specify an algorithm and key size. ACM supports these RSA and ECDSA public key algorithms: • RSA 1024 bit (RSA_1024) • RSA 2048 bit (RSA_2048)* • RSA 3072 bit (RSA_3072) • RSA 4096 bit (RSA_4096) Characteristics and limitations Version 1.0 20 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide • ECDSA 256 bit (EC_prime256v1)* • ECDSA 384 bit (EC_secp384r1)* • ECDSA 521 bit (EC_secp521r1) ACM can request new certificates using algorithms marked with an asterisk (*). Other algorithms are for imported certificates only. Note For private PKI certificates signed by a AWS Private CA CA, the signing algorithm family (RSA or ECDSA) must match the CA's secret key algorithm family. ECDSA keys are smaller and more computationally efficient than RSA keys of comparable security, but not all network clients support ECDSA. This table, adapted from NIST, compares RSA and ECDSA

For example, both a 3072-bit RSA key and a 256-bit ECDSA key can be retrieved with no more than 2128 guesses. For help choosing an algorithm, see the AWS blog post How to evaluate and use ECDSA certificates in AWS Certificate Manager. Important Integrated services allow only supported algorithms and key sizes for their resources. Support varies based on whether the certificate is imported into IAM or ACM. For details, see each service's documentation: Characteristics and limitations Version 1.0 21 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide • For Elastic Load Balancing, see HTTPS Listeners for Your Application Load Balancer. • For CloudFront, see Supported SSL/TLS Protocols and Ciphers. Managed Renewal and Deployment ACM manages the renewal and provisioning of ACM certificates. Automatic renewal helps prevent downtime from misconfigured, revoked, or expired certificates. For more information, see Managed certificate renewal in AWS Certificate Manager. Multiple Domain Names Each ACM certificate must include at least one fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and can include additional names. For example, a certificate for www.example.com can also include www.example.net. This applies to bare domains (zone apex or naked domains) too. You can request a certificate for www.example.com and include example.com. For more information, see AWS Certificate Manager public certificates. Punycode The following Punycode requirements for Internationalized Domain Names must be met: 1. Domain names beginning with the pattern "<character><character>--" must match "xn--". 2. Domain names beginning with "xn--" must also be valid Internationalized Domain Names. Punycode examples Domain Name Fulfills #1 Fulfills #2 AllowedNote example.com n/a n/a a--exampl e.com abc--exam ple.com n/a n/a n/a n/a xn--xyz.com Yes Yes ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Does not start with "<charact er><character>--" Does not start with "<charact er><character>--" Does not start with "<charact er><character>--" Valid Internationalized Domain Name (resolves to 简.com) Characteristics and limitations Version 1.0 22 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Domain Name Fulfills #1 Fulfills #2 AllowedNote xn--examp le.com ab--examp le.com Yes No No No ✗ ✗ Not a valid Internationalized Domain Name Must start with "xn--" Validity Period ACM certificates are valid for 13 months (395 days). Wildcard Names ACM allows an asterisk (*) in the domain name to create a wildcard certificate protecting multiple sites in the same domain. For example, *.example.com protects www.example.com and images.example.com. In a wildcard certificate, the asterisk (*) must be leftmost in the domain name and protects only one subdomain level. For instance, *.example.com protects login.example.com and test.example.com, but not test.login.example.com. Also, *.example.com protects only subdomains, not the bare or apex domain (example.com). You can request a certificate for both a bare domain and its subdomains by specifying multiple domain names, such as example.com and *.example.com. Important If you use CloudFront, note that HTTP validation does not support wildcard certificates. For wildcard certificates, you must use either DNS validation or email validation. We recommend DNS validation because it supports automatic certificate renewal. Request a public certificate in AWS Certificate Manager The following sections discuss how to use the ACM console or AWS CLI to request a public ACM certificate. Topics Request a public certificate Version 1.0 23 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide • Request a public certificate using the console • Request a public certificate using the CLI Request a public certificate using the console To request an ACM public certificate (console) 1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the ACM console at https:// console.aws.amazon.com/acm/home. Choose Request a certificate. 2. In the Domain names section, type your domain name. You can use a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), such as www.example.com, or a bare or apex domain name such as example.com. You can also use an asterisk (*) as a wild card in the leftmost position to protect several site names in the same domain. For example, *.example.com protects corp.example.com, and images.example.com. The wild-card name will appear in the Subject field and in the Subject Alternative Name extension of the ACM certificate. When you request a wild-card certificate, the

the ACM console at https:// console.aws.amazon.com/acm/home. Choose Request a certificate. 2. In the Domain names section, type your domain name. You can use a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), such as www.example.com, or a bare or apex domain name such as example.com. You can also use an asterisk (*) as a wild card in the leftmost position to protect several site names in the same domain. For example, *.example.com protects corp.example.com, and images.example.com. The wild-card name will appear in the Subject field and in the Subject Alternative Name extension of the ACM certificate. When you request a wild-card certificate, the asterisk (*) must be in the leftmost position of the domain name and can protect only one subdomain level. For example, *.example.com can protect login.example.com, and test.example.com, but it cannot protect test.login.example.com. Also note that *.example.com protects only the subdomains of example.com, it does not protect the bare or apex domain (example.com). To protect both, see the next step. Note In compliance with RFC 5280, the length of the domain name (technically, the Common Name) that you enter in this step cannot exceed 64 octets (characters), including periods. Each subsequent Subject Alternative Name (SAN) that you provide, as in the next step, can be up to 253 octets in length. Request a public certificate Version 1.0 24 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide To add another name, choose Add another name to this certificate and type the name in the text box. This is useful for protecting both a bare or apex domain (such as example.com) and its subdomains such as *.example.com). 3. In the Validation method section, choose either DNS validation – recommended or Email validation, depending on your needs. Note If you are able to edit your DNS configuration, we recommend that you use DNS domain validation rather than email validation. DNS validation has multiple benefits over email validation. See AWS Certificate Manager DNS validation. Before ACM issues a certificate, it validates that you own or control the domain names in your certificate request. You can use either email validation or DNS validation. If you choose email validation, ACM sends validation email to the domain that you specify in the domain name field. If you specify a validation domain, ACM sends the email to that validation domain instead. For more information about email validation, see AWS Certificate Manager email validation. If you use DNS validation, you simply add a CNAME record provided by ACM to your DNS configuration. For more information about DNS validation, see AWS Certificate Manager DNS validation. In the Key algorithm section, chose an algorithm. In the Tags page, you can optionally tag your certificate. Tags are key-value pairs that serve as metadata for identifying and organizing AWS resources. For a list of ACM tag parameters and for instructions on how to add tags to certificates after creation, see Tag AWS Certificate Manager resources. 4. 5. When you finish adding tags, choose Request. 6. After the request is processed, the console returns you to your certificate list, where information about the new certificate is displayed. A certificate enters status Pending validation upon being requested, unless it fails for any of the reasons given in the troubleshooting topic Certificate request fails. ACM makes repeated Request a public certificate Version 1.0 25 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide attempts to validate a certificate for 72 hours and then times out. If a certificate shows status Failed or Validation timed out, delete the request, correct the issue with DNS validation or Email validation, and try again. If validation succeeds, the certificate enters status Issued. Note Depending on how you have ordered the list, a certificate you are looking for might not be immediately visible. You can click the black triangle at right to change the ordering. You can also navigate through multiple pages of certificates using the page numbers at upper-right. Request a public certificate using the CLI Use the request-certificate command to request a new public ACM certificate on the command line. Optional values for the validation method are DNS and EMAIL. Optional values for the key algorithm are RSA_2048 (the default if the parameter is not explicitly provided), EC_prime256v1, and EC_secp384r1. aws acm request-certificate \ --domain-name www.example.com \ --key-algorithm EC_Prime256v1 \ --validation-method DNS \ --idempotency-token 1234 \ --options CertificateTransparencyLoggingPreference=DISABLED This command outputs the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of your new public certificate. { "CertificateArn": "arn:aws:acm:Region:444455556666:certificate/certificate_ID" } Validate domain ownership for AWS Certificate Manager public certificates Before the Amazon certificate authority (CA) can issue a certificate for your site, AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) must prove that you own or control all of the domain names that you specify in your request.

You can choose to prove your ownership with Domain Name System (DNS) validation, email validation, or HTTP validation when you request a certificate. Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 26 AWS Certificate Manager Note User Guide Validation applies only to publicly trusted certificates issued by ACM. ACM does not validate domain ownership for imported certificates or for certificates signed by a private CA. ACM cannot validate resources in an Amazon VPC private hosted zone or any other private domain. For more information, see Troubleshoot certificate validation. We recommend using DNS validation over email validation for the following reasons: • If you use Amazon Route 53 to manage your public DNS records, you can update your records through ACM directly. • ACM automatically renews DNS-validated certificates for as long as a certificate remains in use and the DNS record is in place. • Email-validated certificates require an action by the domain owner to be renewed. ACM begins sending renewal notices 45 days before expiration. These notices go to one or more of the domain's five common administrator addresses. The notifications contain a link that the domain owner can click for easy renewal. Once all listed domains are validated, ACM issues a renewed certificate with the same ARN. If you can't edit your domain's DNS database, you must use email validation instead. HTTP validation is available for certificates used with CloudFront. This method uses HTTP redirects to prove domain ownership and offers automatic renewal similar to DNS validation. Note After you create a certificate with email validation, you cannot switch to validating it with DNS. To use DNS validation, delete the certificate and then create a new one that uses DNS validation. Topics • AWS Certificate Manager DNS validation • AWS Certificate Manager email validation • AWS Certificate Manager HTTP validation Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 27 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide AWS Certificate Manager DNS validation The Domain Name System (DNS) is a directory service for resources that are connected to a network. Your DNS provider maintains a database containing records that define your domain. When you choose DNS validation, ACM provides you with one or more CNAME records that must be added to this database. These records contain a unique key-value pair that serves as proof that you control the domain. Note After you create a certificate with email validation, you cannot switch to validating it with DNS. To use DNS validation, delete the certificate and then create a new one that uses DNS validation. For example, if you request a certificate for the example.com domain with www.example.com as an additional name, ACM creates two CNAME records for you. Each record, created specifically for your domain and your account, contains a name and a value. The value is an alias that points to an AWS domain that ACM uses to automatically renew your certificate. The CNAME records must be added to your DNS database only once. ACM automatically renews your certificate as long as the certificate is in use and your CNAME record remains in place. Important If you do not use Amazon Route 53 to manage your public DNS records, contact your DNS provider to find out how to add records. If you lack authority to edit your domain's DNS database, you must use email validation instead. Without the need to repeat validation, you can request additional ACM certificates for your fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for as long as the CNAME record remains in place. That is, you can create replacement certificates that have the same domain name, or certificates that cover different subdomains. Since the CNAME validation token works for any AWS Region, you can re- create the same certificate in multiple Regions. You can also replace a deleted certificate. You can stop automatic renewal either by removing the certificate from the AWS service with which it is associated or by deleting the CNAME record. If Route 53 is not your DNS provider, contact your provider to find out how to delete a record. If Route 53 is your provider, see Deleting Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 28 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Resource Record Sets in the Route 53 Developer Guide. For more information about managed certificate renewal, see Managed certificate renewal in AWS Certificate Manager. Note CNAME resolution will fail if more than five CNAMEs are chained together in your DNS configuration. If you

by removing the certificate from the AWS service with which it is associated or by deleting the CNAME record. If Route 53 is not your DNS provider, contact your provider to find out how to delete a record. If Route 53 is your provider, see Deleting Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 28 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Resource Record Sets in the Route 53 Developer Guide. For more information about managed certificate renewal, see Managed certificate renewal in AWS Certificate Manager. Note CNAME resolution will fail if more than five CNAMEs are chained together in your DNS configuration. If you require a longer chaining, we recommend using email validation. How CNAME records for ACM work Note This section is for customers who do not use Route 53 as their DNS provider. If you are not using Route 53 as your DNS provider, you need to manually enter CNAME records provided by ACM into your provider's database, usually through a website. CNAME records are used for a number of purposes, including as redirect mechanisms and as containers for vendor- specific metadata. For ACM, these records allow initial domain ownership validation and ongoing automated certificate renewal. The following table shows example CNAME records for six domain names. Each record's Record Name-Record Value pair serves to authenticate domain name ownership. In the table, note that the first two Record Name-Record Value pairs are the same. This illustrates that for a wild-card domain, such as *.example.com, the strings created by ACM are the same as those created for its base domain, example.com. Otherwise, the paired Record Name and Record Value differ for each domain name. Example CNAME records Domain name Record Name Record Value Comment *.example.com _x1.example.com. example.com _x1.example.com. _x2.acm-validations.a ws. Identical _x2.acm-validations.a ws. Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 29 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Domain name Record Name Record Value Comment www.example.com _x3.www.exam ple.com. _x4.acm-validations.a ws. Unique host.example.com _x5.host.exa mple.com. _x6.acm-validations.a ws. Unique subdomain.example. com _x7.subdomai n.example.com. _x8.acm-validations.a ws. Unique host.subdomain.exa mple.com _x9.host.sub domain.example.com. _x10.acm-vali dations.aws. Unique The xN values following the underscore ( _ ) are long strings generated by ACM. For example, _3639ac514e785e898d2646601fa951d5.example.com. is representative of a resulting generated Record Name. The associated Record Value might be _98d2646601fa951d53639ac514e785e8.acm-validation.aws. for the same DNS record. Note If your DNS provider does not support CNAME values with a leading underscore, see Troubleshoot DNS Validation Problems. When you request a certificate and specify DNS validation, ACM provides CNAME information in the following format: Domain Name Record Name example.c om _a79865eb4cd1a6ab990a45779b 4e0b96.example.com. Record Value Record Type CNAME Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 30 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Domain Name Record Name Record Type Record Value _424c7224e9b0146f9a8808af95 5727d0.acm-validations.aws. Domain Name is the FQDN associated with the certificate. Record Name identifies the record uniquely, serving as the key of the key-value pair. Record Value serves as the value of the key-value pair. All three of these values (Domain Name, Record Name, and Record Value) must be entered into the appropriates fields of your DNS provider's web interface for adding DNS records. Providers are inconsistent in their handling of the record name (or just "name") field. In some cases, you are expected to provide the entire string as shown above. Other providers automatically append the domain name to whatever string you enter, meaning (in this example) that you should only enter _a79865eb4cd1a6ab990a45779b4e0b96 into the name field. If you guess wrong about this, and enter a record name that contains a domain name (such as .example.com), you might end up with the following: _a79865eb4cd1a6ab990a45779b4e0b96.example.com.example.com. Validation will fail in this case. Consequently, you should try to determine in advance which type of input your provider expects. Setting up DNS validation This section describes how to configure a public certificate to use DNS validation. To set up DNS validation in the console Note This procedure assumes that you have already created at least one certificate and that you are working in the AWS Region where you created it. If you try to open the console and see the first-use screen instead, or you succeed in opening the console and don't see your certificate in the list, confirm that you have specified the correct Region. Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 31 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide 1. Open the ACM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/acm/. 2. In the list of certificates, choose the Certificate ID of a certificate with status Pending validation that you want to configure. This opens a details page for the certificate. 3. In the Domains section, complete one of the following two procedures: a. (Optional) Validate with Route 53. An active Create records in Route 53 button appears if the following conditions are true: • You use Route 53 as your DNS provider. • You have permission to write to the zone hosted by Route 53. • Your FQDN has

Certificate Manager User Guide 1. Open the ACM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/acm/. 2. In the list of certificates, choose the Certificate ID of a certificate with status Pending validation that you want to configure. This opens a details page for the certificate. 3. In the Domains section, complete one of the following two procedures: a. (Optional) Validate with Route 53. An active Create records in Route 53 button appears if the following conditions are true: • You use Route 53 as your DNS provider. • You have permission to write to the zone hosted by Route 53. • Your FQDN has not already been validated. Note If you are in fact using Route 53 but the Create records in Route 53 button is missing or disabled, see ACM Console does not display "Create records in Route 53" button. Choose the Create records in Route 53 button, then choose Create records. The Certificate status page should open with a status banner reporting Successfully created DNS records. Your new certificate might continue to display a status of Pending validation for up to 30 minutes. Tip You cannot programmatically request that ACM automatically create your record in Route 53. You can, however, make an AWS CLI or API call to Route 53 to create the record in the Route 53 DNS database. For more information about Route 53 record sets, see Working with Resource Record Sets. b. (Optional) If you are not using Route 53 as your DNS provider, you must retrieve the CNAME information and add it your DNS database. On the details page for the new certificate, you can do this in either of two ways: Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 32 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide • Copy the CNAME components displayed in the Domains section. This information needs to be added manually to your DNS database. • Alternatively, choose Export to CSV. The information in the resulting file needs to be added manually to your DNS database. Important To avoid validation problems, review How CNAME records for ACM work before you add information to your DNS provider's database. If you do encounter problems, see Troubleshoot DNS validation problems. If ACM is not able to validate the domain name within 72 hours from the time it generates a CNAME value for you, ACM changes the certificate status to Validation timed out. The most likely reason for this result is that you did not successfully update your DNS configuration with the value that ACM generated. To remedy this issue, you must request a new certificate after reviewing the CNAME instructions. AWS Certificate Manager email validation Before the Amazon certificate authority (CA) can issue a certificate for your site, AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) must verify that you own or control all of the domains that you specified in your request. You can perform verification using either email or DNS. This topic discusses email validation. If you encounter problems using email validation, see Troubleshoot email validation problems. How email validation works ACM sends validation email messages to the following five common system emails for each domain. Alternatively, you can specify a superdomain as a validation domain if you wish to receive these emails at that domain instead. Any subdomain up to the minimal website address is valid, and is used as the domain for the email address as the suffix after @. For example, you can receive an email to admin@example.com if you specify example.com as the validation domain for subdomain.example.com. • administrator@your_domain_name • hostmaster@your_domain_name Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 33 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide • postmaster@your_domain_name • webmaster@your_domain_name • admin@your_domain_name To prove that you own the domain, you must select the validation link included in these emails. ACM also sends validation emails to these same addresses to renew the certificate when the certificate is 45 days from expiry. Email validation for multi-domain certificate requests using the ACM API or CLI results in an email message being sent by each requested domain, even if the request includes subdomains of other domains in the request. The domain owner needs to validate an email message for each of these domains before ACM can issue the certificate. Exception to this process If you request an ACM certificate for a domain name that begins with www or a wild-card asterisk (*), ACM removes the leading www or asterisk and sends email to the administrative addresses. These addresses are formed by pre-pending admin@, administrator@, hostmaster@, postmaster@, and webmaster@ to the remaining portion of the domain name. For example, if you request an ACM certificate for www.example.com, email is sent to admin@example.com rather than to admin@www.example.com. Likewise, if you request an ACM certificate for *.test.example.com, email is sent to admin@test.example.com. The remaining common administrative addresses are similarly formed. Important ACM no longer supports WHOIS email validation for new certificates

certificate for a domain name that begins with www or a wild-card asterisk (*), ACM removes the leading www or asterisk and sends email to the administrative addresses. These addresses are formed by pre-pending admin@, administrator@, hostmaster@, postmaster@, and webmaster@ to the remaining portion of the domain name. For example, if you request an ACM certificate for www.example.com, email is sent to admin@example.com rather than to admin@www.example.com. Likewise, if you request an ACM certificate for *.test.example.com, email is sent to admin@test.example.com. The remaining common administrative addresses are similarly formed. Important ACM no longer supports WHOIS email validation for new certificates or renewals. Common system addresses remain supported. For details, see blog post. Considerations Observe the following considerations about email validation. • You need a working email address registered in your domain in order to use email validation. Procedures for setting up an email address are outside the scope of this guide. • Validation applies only to publicly trusted certificates issued by ACM. ACM does not validate domain ownership for imported certificates or for certificates signed by a private CA. ACM Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 34 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide cannot validate resources in an Amazon VPC private hosted zone or any other private domain. For more information, see Troubleshoot certificate validation. • After you create a certificate with email validation, you cannot switch to validating it with DNS. To use DNS validation, delete the certificate and then create a new one that uses DNS validation. Certificate expiration and renewal ACM certificates are valid for 13 months (395 days). Renewing a certificate requires action by the domain owner. ACM begins sending renewal notices to the email addresses associated with the domain 45 days before expiration. The notifications contain a link that the domain owner can click for renewal. Once all listed domains are validated, ACM issues a renewed certificate with the same ARN. (Optional) Resend validation email Each validation email contains a token that you can use to approve a certificate request. However, because the validation email required for the approval process can be blocked by spam filters or lost in transit, the token automatically expires after 72 hours. If you do not receive the original email or the token has expired, you can request that the email be resent. For information about how to resend a validation email, see Resend validation email For persistent problems with email validation, see the Troubleshoot email validation problems section in Troubleshoot issues with AWS Certificate Manager. Automate AWS Certificate Manager email validation Email-validated ACM certificates normally require manual action by the domain owner. Organizations dealing with large numbers of email-validated certificates may prefer to create a parser that can automate the required responses. To assist customers using email validation, the information in this section describes the templates used for domain validation email messages and the workflow involved in completing the validation process. Validation email templates Validation email messages have one of the two following formats, depending on whether a new certificate is being requested or an existing certificate is being renewed. The content of the highlighted strings should be replaced with values that are specific to the domain being validated. Validating a new certificate Email template text: Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 35 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Greetings from Amazon Web Services, We received a request to issue an SSL/TLS certificate for requested_domain.

Our privacy policy is posted at https://aws.amazon.com/privacy Once you receive a new validation message from AWS, we recommend that you use it as the most up-to-date and authoritative template for your parser. Customers with message parsers designed before November, 2020, should note the following changes that may have been made to the template: • The email subject line now reads "Certificate request for domain name" instead of "Certificate approval for domain name". • The AWS account ID is now presented without dashes or hyphens. • The Certificate Identifier now presents the entire certificate ARN instead of a shortened form, for example, arn:aws:acm:us- east-1:000000000000:certificate/3b4d78e1-0882-4f51-954a-298ee44ff369 rather than 3b4d78e1-0882-4f51-954a-298ee44ff369. Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 37 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide • The certificate approval URL now contains acm-certificates.amazon.com instead of certificates.amazon.com. • The approval form opened by clicking the certificate approval URL now contains the approval button. The name of the approval button div is now approve-button instead of approval_button. • Validation messages for both newly requested certificates and renewing certificates have the same email format. Validation workflow This section provides information about the renewal workflow for email-validated certificates. • When the ACM console processes a multi-domain certificate request, it sends validation email messages to the domain name or the validation domain that you specify when you request a public certificate. The domain owner needs to validate an email message for each domain before ACM can issue the certificate. For more information, see Using Email to Validate Domain Ownership. • Email validation for multi-domain certificate requests using the ACM API or CLI results in an email message being sent by each requested domain, even if the request includes subdomains of other domains in the request. The domain owner needs to validate an email message for each of these domains before ACM can issue the certificate. If you resend emails for an existing certificate through the ACM console, emails will be sent to the validation domain specified in the original certificate request, or the exact domain if no validation domain was specified. To receive validation emails at a different domain, you can request a new certificate, specifying the validation domain that you want to use for validation. Alternatively, you can call ResendValidationEmail with the ValidationDomain parameter using the API, SDK, or CLI. However, the validation domain specified in the ResendValidationEmail request is only used for that call and is not saved to the certificate Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for future validation emails. You must call ResendValidationEmail each time you wish to receive a validation email at a domain name that was not specified in the original certificate request. Note Prior to November, 2020, customers needed to validate only the apex domain and ACM would issue a certificate that also covered any subdomains. Customers with message Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 38 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide parsers designed before that time should note the change to the email validation workflow. • With the ACM API or CLI, you can force all validation email messages for a multi- domain certificate request to be sent to the apex domain. In the API, use the DomainValidationOptions parameter of the RequestCertificate action to specify a value for ValidationDomain, which is a member of the DomainValidationOption type. In the CLI, use the --domain-validation-options parameter of the request-certificate command to specify a value for ValidationDomain. AWS Certificate Manager HTTP validation Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a foundational protocol for data communication on the World Wide Web. When you choose HTTP validation for certificates used with CloudFront, ACM leverages this protocol to verify your domain ownership. ACM works in conjunction with CloudFront to provide you with a specific URL and

to the apex domain. In the API, use the DomainValidationOptions parameter of the RequestCertificate action to specify a value for ValidationDomain, which is a member of the DomainValidationOption type. In the CLI, use the --domain-validation-options parameter of the request-certificate command to specify a value for ValidationDomain. AWS Certificate Manager HTTP validation Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a foundational protocol for data communication on the World Wide Web. When you choose HTTP validation for certificates used with CloudFront, ACM leverages this protocol to verify your domain ownership. ACM works in conjunction with CloudFront to provide you with a specific URL and a unique token that must be made accessible at that URL on your domain. This token serves as proof that you control the domain. By setting up a redirect from your domain to an ACM-controlled location within the CloudFront infrastructure, you demonstrate your ability to modify content on the domain, thus validating your ownership. This seamless integration between ACM and CloudFront simplifies the certificate issuance process, especially for CloudFront distributions. Important HTTP validation does not support wildcard domain certificates (such as *.example.com). For wildcard certificates, you must use either DNS validation or email validation instead. For example, if you request a certificate for the example.com domain with www.example.com as an additional name using CloudFront, ACM provides you with two sets of URLs for HTTP validation. Each set contains a redirectFrom URL and a redirectTo URL, created specifically for your domain and your AWS account. The redirectFrom URL is a path on your domain (for example, http://example.com/.well-known/pki-validation/example.txt) that you need to configure. The redirectTo URL points to an ACM-controlled location within the CloudFront infrastructure where a unique validation token is stored. You need to set up these redirects only once. When a certificate authority attempts to validate your domain ownership, it will request the file from the redirectFrom URL, which CloudFront redirects to the redirectTo URL, allowing Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 39 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide access to the validation token. ACM automatically renews your certificate as long as the certificate is in use with CloudFront and your redirect remains in place. Once you've set up HTTP validation for a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) with CloudFront, you can request additional ACM certificates for that FQDN without repeating the validation process, as long as the HTTP redirect remains in place. This means you can create replacement certificates with the same domain name, or certificates that cover different subdomains. Since the HTTP validation token works for any AWS Region where CloudFront is available, you can re-create the same certificate in multiple Regions. You can also replace a deleted certificate without going through the validation process again, provided the redirect is still active. To stop automatic renewal of your HTTP-validated certificate, you have two options. You can either remove the certificate from the CloudFront distribution with which it is associated, or you can delete the HTTP redirect you set up for validation. If you're using a content delivery network (CDN) or web server other than CloudFront to manage your redirects, consult their documentation to learn how to remove a redirect. If you're using CloudFront to manage your redirects, you can remove the redirect by updating your distribution's configuration. For more information about managed certificate renewal, see Managed certificate renewal in AWS Certificate Manager. Remember that stopping automatic renewal may lead to certificate expiration, which could interrupt your HTTPS traffic. How HTTP redirects for ACM work Note This section is for customers who are using CloudFront for content delivery and ACM for SSL/TLS certificate management. When using HTTP validation with ACM and CloudFront, you need to set up HTTP redirects. These redirects allow ACM to verify your domain ownership for initial certificate issuance and ongoing automated renewal. The redirect mechanism works by pointing a specific URL on your domain to an ACM-controlled location within the CloudFront infrastructure where a unique validation token is stored. The following table shows example redirect configurations for domain names. Note that HTTP validation does not support wildcard domains (such as *.example.com). Each configuration's Redirect From-Redirect To pair serves to authenticate domain name ownership.

Note If your web server or content delivery network does not support setting up redirects at the specified path, see Troubleshoot HTTP Validation Problems. When you request a certificate and specify HTTP validation, ACM provides redirect information in the following format: Domain Name example.com Redirect To Redirect From http:// https://validation.region.acm-validations.a ex ws/a424c7224e9b /.well-known/pki- ample.com validation/a79865eb4cd1a6ab99 /.well- 0a45779b4e0b96 .txt kn Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 42 AWS Certificate Manager Domain Name User Guide Redirect To Redirect From own/ pki- v alidation / a79865eb 4cd1a6ab9 90a45779b 4e0b96.tx t Domain Name is the FQDN associated with the certificate. Redirect From is the URL on your domain where ACM will look for the validation file. Redirect To is the ACM-controlled URL where the actual validation file is hosted. You need to configure your web server or CloudFront distribution to redirect requests from the Redirect From URL to the Redirect To URL. The exact method for setting up this redirect depends on your web server software or CloudFront configuration. Ensure that the redirect is set up correctly to allow ACM to validate your domain ownership and issue or renew your certificate. Setting up HTTP validation ACM uses HTTP validation to verify your domain ownership when issuing public SSL/TLS certificates for use with CloudFront. This section describes how to configure a public certificate to use HTTP validation. To set up HTTP validation in the console Note This procedure assumes that you have already requested a certificate through CloudFront and that you're working in the AWS Region where you created it. HTTP validation is available only through the CloudFront Distribution Tenants feature. Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 43 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide 1. Open the ACM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/acm/. 2. 3. 4. In the list of certificates, choose the Certificate ID of a certificate with status Pending validation that you want to configure. This opens a details page for the certificate. In the Domains section, you can see the Redirect From and Redirect To values for each domain in your certificate request. For each domain, set up an HTTP redirect from the Redirect From URL to the Redirect To URL. You can do this through your CloudFront distribution configuration. 5. Configure your CloudFront distribution to redirect requests from the Redirect From URL to the Redirect To URL. The method for setting up this redirect depends on your CloudFront configuration. 6. After you set up the redirects, ACM automatically attempts to validate your domain ownership. This process can take up to 30 minutes. If ACM can't validate the domain name within 72 hours from the time it generates the redirect values for you, ACM changes the certificate status to Validation timed out. The most likely reason for this result is that you didn't successfully set up the HTTP redirects. To fix this issue, you must request a new certificate after reviewing the redirect instructions. Important To avoid validation problems, make sure that the content at the Redirect From location matches the content at the Redirect To location. If you encounter problems, see Troubleshooting HTTP validation problems. Note Unlike DNS validation, you can't programmatically request that ACM automatically create your HTTP redirects. You must configure these redirects through your CloudFront distribution settings. For more information about how HTTP validation works, see How HTTP redirects for ACM work. Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 44 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Private certificates in AWS Certificate Manager If you have access to an existing private CA created by AWS Private CA, AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) can request a certificate suited for use in your private key infrastructure (PKI).

How HTTP redirects for ACM work. Validate domain ownership Version 1.0 44 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Private certificates in AWS Certificate Manager If you have access to an existing private CA created by AWS Private CA, AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) can request a certificate suited for use in your private key infrastructure (PKI). The CA may either reside in your account or be shared with you by a different account. For information about creating a private CA, see Create a Private Certificate Authority. Certificates signed by a private CA are not trusted by default, and ACM does not support any form of validation for them. Consequently, an administrator must take action to install them in your organization's client trust stores. Private ACM certificates follow the X.509 standard and are subject to the following restrictions: • Names: You must use DNS-compliant subject names. For more information, see Domain Names. • Algorithm: For encryption, the certificate private key algorithm must be either 2048-bit RSA, 256-bit ECDSA, or 384-bit ECDSA. Note The specified signing algorithm family (RSA or ECDSA) must match the algorithm family of the CA's secret key. • Expiration: Each certificate is valid for 13 months (395 days). The end date of the signing CA certificate must exceed the end date of the requested certificate, or else the certificate request will fail. • Renewal: ACM attempts to renew a private certificate automatically after 11 months. The private CA used to sign the end-entity certificates is subject to its own restrictions: • The CA must have a status of Active. • The CA private key algorithm must be RSA 2048 or RSA 4096. Note Unlike publicly trusted certificates, certificates signed by a private CA do not require validation. Private certificates Version 1.0 45 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Conditions for using AWS Private CA to sign ACM private certificates You can use AWS Private CA to sign your ACM certificates in either of two cases: • Single account: The signing CA and the AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) certificate that is issued reside in the same AWS account. For single-account issuance and renewals to be enabled, the AWS Private CA administrator must grant permission to the ACM service principal to create, retrieve, and list certificates. This is done using the AWS Private CA API action CreatePermission or the AWS CLI command create- permission. The account owner assigns these permissions to an IAM user, group, or role that is responsible for issuing certificates. • Cross-account: The signing CA and the ACM certificate that is issued reside in different AWS accounts, and access to the CA has been granted to the account where the certificate resides. To enable cross-account issuance and renewals, the AWS Private CA administrator must attach a resource-based policy to the CA using the AWS Private CA API action PutPolicy or the AWS CLI command put-policy. The policy specifies principals in other accounts that are allowed limited access to the CA. For more information, see Using a Resource Based Policy with ACM Private CA. The cross-account scenario also requires ACM to set up a service-linked role (SLR) to interact as a principal with the PCA policy. ACM creates the SLR automatically while issuing the first certificate. ACM might alert you that it cannot determine whether an SLR exists on your account. If the required iam:GetRole permission has already been granted to the ACM SLR for your account, then the alert will not recur after the SLR is created. If it does recur, then you or your account administrator might need to grant the iam:GetRole permission to ACM, or associate your account with the ACM-managed policy AWSCertificateManagerFullAccess. For more information, see Using a Service Linked Role with ACM. Important Your ACM certificate must be actively associated with a supported AWS service before it can be automatically renewed. For information about the resources that ACM supports, see Services integrated with ACM. Conditions for use Version 1.0 46 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Request a private certificate in AWS Certificate Manager Request a private certificate (console) 1.

If the CA is shared from another account, the ARN is prefaced by ownership information. Details about the CA are displayed to help you verify that you have chosen the correct one: • Owner • Type • Common name (CN) • Organization (O) • Organization unit (OU) • Country name (C) • State or province • Locality name 4. In the Domain names section, type your domain name. You can use a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), such as www.example.com, or a bare or apex domain name such as example.com. You can also use an asterisk (*) as a wild card in the leftmost position to protect several site names in the same domain. For example, *.example.com protects corp.example.com, and images.example.com. The wild-card name will appear in the Subject field and in the Subject Alternative Name extension of the ACM certificate. Note When you request a wild-card certificate, the asterisk (*) must be in the leftmost position of the domain name and can protect only one subdomain level. For example, *.example.com can protect login.example.com, and test.example.com, but it cannot protect test.login.example.com. Also note that *.example.com protects Request a private certificate Version 1.0 47 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide only the subdomains of example.com, it does not protect the bare or apex domain (example.com). To protect both, see the next step Optionally, choose Add another name to this certificate and type the name in the text box. This is useful for authenticating both a bare or apex domain (such as example.com) and its subdomains such as *.example.com). 5. In the Key algorithm section, chose an algorithm. For information to help you choose an algorithm, see Tag AWS Certificate Manager resources. 6. In the Tags section, you can optionally tag your certificate. Tags are key-value pairs that serve as metadata for identifying and organizing AWS resources. For a list of ACM tag parameters and for instructions on how to add tags to certificates after creation, see Tag AWS Certificate Manager resources. 7. In the Certificate renewal permissions section, acknowledge the notice about certificate renewal permissions. These permissions allow automatic renewal of private PKI certificates that you sign with the selected CA. For more information, see Using a Service Linked Role with ACM. 8. After providing all of the required information, choose Request. The console returns you to the certificate list, where you can view your new certificate. Note Depending on how you have ordered the list, a certificate you are looking for might not be immediately visible. You can click the black triangle at right to change the ordering. You can also navigate through multiple pages of certificates using the page numbers at upper-right. Request a private certificate (CLI) Use the request-certificate command to request a private certificate in ACM. Request a private certificate Version 1.0 48 AWS Certificate Manager Note User Guide When you request a private PKI certificate signed by a CA from AWS Private CA, the specified signing algorithm family (RSA or ECDSA) must match the algorithm family of the CA's secret key. aws acm request-certificate \ --domain-name www.example.com \ --idempotency-token 12563 \ --certificate-authority-arn arn:aws:acm-pca:Region:444455556666:\ certificate-authority/CA_ID This command outputs the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of your new private certificate. { "CertificateArn": "arn:aws:acm:Region:444455556666:certificate/certificate_ID" } In most cases, ACM automatically attaches a service-linked role (SLR) to your account the first time that you use a shared CA. The SLR enables automatic renewal of end-entity certificates that you issue. To check whether the SLR is present, you can query IAM with the following command: aws iam get-role --role-name AWSServiceRoleForCertificateManager If the SLR is present, the command output should resemble the following: { "Role":{ "Path":"/aws-service-role/acm.amazonaws.com/", "RoleName":"AWSServiceRoleForCertificateManager", "RoleId":"AAAAAAA0000000BBBBBBB", "Arn":"arn:aws:iam::{account_no}:role/aws-service-role/acm.amazonaws.com/ AWSServiceRoleForCertificateManager", "CreateDate":"2020-08-01T23:10:41Z", "AssumeRolePolicyDocument":{ "Version":"2012-10-17", "Statement":[ { "Effect":"Allow", Request a private certificate Version 1.0 49 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide "Principal":{ "Service":"acm.amazonaws.com" }, "Action":"sts:AssumeRole" } ] }, "Description":"SLR for ACM Service for accessing cross-account Private CA", "MaxSessionDuration":3600, "RoleLastUsed":{ "LastUsedDate":"2020-08-01T23:11:04Z", "Region":"ap-southeast-1" } } } If the SLR is missing, see Using a Service Linked Role with ACM.

User Guide Note When creating your passphrase, you can use any ASCII character except #, $, or %. 6. Choose Generate PEM Encoding. 7. You can copy the certificate, certificate chain, and encrypted key to memory or choose Export to a file for each. 8. Choose Done. Export a private certificate (CLI) Use the export-certificate command to export a private certificate and private key. You must assign a passphrase when you run the command. For added security, use a file editor to store your passphrase in a file, and then supply the passphrase by supplying the file. This prevents your passphrase from being stored in the command history and prevents others from seeing the passphrase as you type it in. Note The file containing the passphrase must not end in a line terminator. You can check your password file like this: $ file -k passphrase.txt passphrase.txt: ASCII text, with no line terminators The following examples pipe the command output to jq to apply PEM formatting.

You might do this because you already have a certificate from a third-party certificate authority (CA), or because you have application-specific requirements that are not met by ACM issued certificates. You can use an imported certificate with any AWS service that is integrated with ACM. The certificates that you import work the same as those provided by ACM, with one important exception: ACM does not provide managed renewal for imported certificates. To renew an imported certificate, you can obtain a new certificate from your certificate issuer and then manually reimport it into ACM. This action preserves the certificate's association and its Amazon Resource name (ARN). Alternatively, you can import a completely new certificate. Multiple certificates with the same domain name can be imported, but they must be imported one at a time. Important You are responsible for monitoring the expiration date of your imported certificates and for renewing them before they expire. You can simplify this task by using Amazon CloudWatch Events to send notices when your imported certificates approach expiration. For more information, see Using Amazon EventBridge. All certificates in ACM are regional resources, including the certificates that you import. To use the same certificate with Elastic Load Balancing load balancers in different AWS Regions, you must import the certificate into each Region where you want to use it. To use a certificate with Amazon CloudFront, you must import it into the US East (N. Virginia) Region. For more information, see Supported Regions.

with Amazon CloudFront, you must import it into the US East (N. Virginia) Region. For more information, see Supported Regions. For information about how to import certificates into ACM, see the following topics. If you encounter problems importing a certificate, see Certificate import problems. Imported certificates Version 1.0 53 AWS Certificate Manager Topics • Prerequisites for importing ACM certificates • Certificate and key format for importing • Import a certificate • Reimport a certificate User Guide Prerequisites for importing ACM certificates To import a self–signed SSL/TLS certificate into ACM, you must provide both the certificate and its private key. To import a certificate signed by a non-AWS certificate authority (CA), you must also include the private and public keys of certificate. Your certificate must satisfy all of the criteria described in this topic. For all imported certificates, you must specify a cryptographic algorithm and a key size. ACM supports the following algorithms (API name in parentheses): • RSA 1024 bit (RSA_1024) • RSA 2048 bit (RSA_2048) • RSA 3072 bit (RSA_3072) • RSA 4096 bit (RSA_4096) • ECDSA 256 bit (EC_prime256v1) • ECDSA 384 bit (EC_secp384r1) • ECDSA 521 bit (EC_secp521r1) Note also the following additional requirements: • ACM integrated services allow only the algorithms and key sizes that they support to be associated with their resources. For example, CloudFront only supports 1024-bit RSA, 2048- bit RSA, 3072-bit RSA, and Elliptic Prime Curve 256-bit keys, while Application Load Balancer supports all of the algorithms available from ACM. For more information, see the documentation for the service you are using. • A certificate must be an SSL/TLS X.509 version 3 certificate. It must contain a public key, the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address for your website, and information about the issuer. Prerequisites Version 1.0 54 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide • A certificate can be self-signed by a private key that you own, or signed by the private key of an issuing CA. You must provide the private key, which may be no larger than 5 KB (5,120 bytes) and must be unencrypted. • If the certificate is signed by a CA, and you choose to provide the certificate chain, the chain must be PEM–encoded. • A certificate must be valid at the time of import. You cannot import a certificate before its validity period begins or after it expires. The NotBefore certificate field contains the validity start date, and the NotAfter field contains the end date. • All of the required certificate materials (certificate, private key, and certificate chain) must be PEM–encoded. Uploading DER–encoded materials results in an error. For more information and examples, see Certificate and key format for importing. • When you renew (reimport) a certificate, you cannot add a KeyUsage or ExtendedKeyUsage extension if the extension was not present in the previously imported certificate. • AWS CloudFormation does not support the import of certificates into ACM. Certificate and key format for importing ACM requires you to separately import the certificate, certificate chain, and private key (if any), and to encode each component in PEM format. PEM stands for Privacy Enhanced Mail. The PEM format is often used to represent certificates, certificate requests, certificate chains, and keys. The typical extension for a PEM–formatted file is .pem, but it doesn't need to be. Note AWS does not provide utilities for manipulating PEM files or other certificate formats. The following examples rely on a generic text editor for simple operations. If you need to perform more complex tasks (such as converting file formats or extracting keys), free and open-source tools such as OpenSSL are readily available. The following examples illustrate the format of the files to be imported. If the components come to you in a single file, use a text editor (carefully) to separate them into three files. Note that if you edit any of the characters in a PEM file incorrectly or if you add one or more spaces to the end of any line, the certificate, certificate chain, or private key will be invalid. Certificate format Version 1.0 55 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Example 1. PEM–encoded certificate -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- Base64–encoded certificate -----END CERTIFICATE----- Example 2. PEM–encoded certificate chain A certificate chain contains one or more certificates. You can use a text editor, the copy command in Windows, or the Linux cat command to concatenate your certificate files into a chain. The certificates must be concatenated in order so that each directly certifies the one preceding. If importing a private certificate, copy the root certificate last. The following example contains three certificates, but your certificate chain might contain more or fewer. Important Do not copy your certificate into the certificate chain. -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- Base64–encoded certificate -----END CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- Base64–encoded certificate -----END CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- Base64–encoded certificate -----END CERTIFICATE----- Example 3. PEM–encoded private keys

or more certificates. You can use a text editor, the copy command in Windows, or the Linux cat command to concatenate your certificate files into a chain. The certificates must be concatenated in order so that each directly certifies the one preceding. If importing a private certificate, copy the root certificate last. The following example contains three certificates, but your certificate chain might contain more or fewer. Important Do not copy your certificate into the certificate chain. -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- Base64–encoded certificate -----END CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- Base64–encoded certificate -----END CERTIFICATE----- -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- Base64–encoded certificate -----END CERTIFICATE----- Example 3. PEM–encoded private keys X.509 version 3 certificates use public key algorithms. When you create an X.509 certificate or certificate request, you specify the algorithm and the key bit size that must be used to create the private–public key pair. The public key is placed in the certificate or request. You must keep the associated private key secret. Specify the private key when you import the certificate. The key must be unencrypted. The following example shows an RSA private key. -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Base64–encoded private key -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- Certificate format Version 1.0 56 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide The next example shows a PEM–encoded elliptic curve private key. Depending on how you create the key, the parameters block might not be included. If the parameters block is included, ACM removes it before using the key during the import process. -----BEGIN EC PARAMETERS----- Base64–encoded parameters -----END EC PARAMETERS----- -----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY----- Base64–encoded private key -----END EC PRIVATE KEY----- Import a certificate You can import an externally obtained certificate (that is, one provided by a third-party trust services provider) into ACM by using the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the ACM API. The following topics show you how to use the AWS Management Console and the AWS CLI. Procedures for obtaining a certificate from a non-AWS issuer are outside the scope of this guide. Important Your selected signature algorithm must meet the Prerequisites for importing ACM certificates. Topics • Import (console) • Import (AWS CLI) Import (console) The following example shows how to import a certificate using the AWS Management Console. 1. Open the ACM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/acm/home. If this is your first time using ACM, look for the AWS Certificate Manager heading and choose the Get started button under it. 2. Choose Import a certificate. 3. Do the following: Import certificate Version 1.0 57 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide a. For Certificate body, paste the PEM-encoded certificate to import. It should begin with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and end with -----END CERTIFICATE-----. b. For Certificate private key, paste the certificate's PEM-encoded, unencrypted private key. It should begin with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and end with -----END PRIVATE KEY-----. c. (Optional) For Certificate chain, paste the PEM-encoded certificate chain. 4. (Optional) To add tags to your imported certificate, choose Tags. A tag is a label that you assign to an AWS resource. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. You can use tags to organize your resources or track your AWS costs. 5. Choose Import. Import (AWS CLI) The following example shows how to import a certificate using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). The example assumes the following: • The PEM-encoded certificate is stored in a file named Certificate.pem. • The PEM-encoded certificate chain is stored in a file named CertificateChain.pem. • The PEM-encoded, unencrypted private key is stored in a file named PrivateKey.pem. To use the following example, replace the file names with your own and type the command on one continuous line. The following example includes line breaks and extra spaces to make it easier to read. $ aws acm import-certificate --certificate fileb://Certificate.pem \ --certificate-chain fileb://CertificateChain.pem \ --private-key fileb://PrivateKey.pem If the import-certificate command is successful, it returns the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the imported certificate. Reimport a certificate If you imported a certificate and associated it with other AWS services, you can reimport that certificate before it expires while preserving the AWS service associations of the original certificate. For more information about AWS services integrated with ACM, see Services integrated with ACM. Reimport certificate Version 1.0 58 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide The following conditions apply when you reimport a certificate: • You can add or remove domain names. • You cannot remove all of the domain names from a certificate. • If Key Usage extensions are present in the originally imported certificate, you can add new extension values, but you cannot remove existing values. • If Extended Key Usage extensions are present in the originally imported certificate, you can add new extension values, but you cannot remove existing values. • The key type and size cannot be changed. • You cannot apply resource tags when reimporting a certificate.

Important • You cannot delete an ACM certificate that is being used by another AWS service. To delete a certificate that is in use, you must first remove the certificate association. This is done using the console or CLI for the associated service. • Deleting a certificate issued by a private certificate authority (CA) has no effect on the CA. You will continue to be charged for the CA until it is deleted. For more information, see Deleting Your Private CA in the AWS Private Certificate Authority User Guide. To delete a certificate using the console 1. Open the ACM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/acm/. 2. In the list of certificates, select the check box for an ACM certificate, then choose Delete. Note Depending on how you have ordered the list, a certificate you are looking for might not be immediately visible. You can click the black triangle at right to change the Delete certificates Version 1.0 67 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide ordering. You can also navigate through multiple pages of certificates using the page numbers at upper-right. To delete a certificate using the AWS CLI Use the delete-certificate command to delete a certificate, as shown in the following command: $ aws acm delete-certificate --certificate-arn arn:aws:acm:Region:444455556666:certificate/certificate_ID Delete certificates Version 1.0 68 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Managed certificate renewal in AWS Certificate Manager ACM provides managed renewal for your Amazon-issued SSL/TLS certificates. This means that ACM will either renew your certificates automatically (if you are using DNS validation), or it will send you email notices when expiration is approaching. These services are provided for both public and private ACM certificates. A certificate is eligible for automatic renewal subject to the following considerations: • ELIGIBLE if associated with another AWS service, such as Elastic Load Balancing or CloudFront. • ELIGIBLE if exported since being issued or last renewed. • ELIGIBLE if it is a private certificate issued by calling the ACM RequestCertificate API and then exported or associated with another AWS service. • ELIGIBLE if it is a private certificate issued through the management console and then exported or associated with another AWS service. • NOT ELIGIBLE if it is a

A certificate is eligible for automatic renewal subject to the following considerations: • ELIGIBLE if associated with another AWS service, such as Elastic Load Balancing or CloudFront. • ELIGIBLE if exported since being issued or last renewed. • ELIGIBLE if it is a private certificate issued by calling the ACM RequestCertificate API and then exported or associated with another AWS service. • ELIGIBLE if it is a private certificate issued through the management console and then exported or associated with another AWS service. • NOT ELIGIBLE if it is a private certificate issued by calling the AWS Private CA IssueCertificate API. • NOT ELIGIBLE if imported. • NOT ELIGIBLE if already expired. Additionally, the following Punycode requirements relating to Internationalized Domain Names must be fulfilled: 1. Domain names beginning with the pattern "<character><character>--" must match "xn--". 2. Domain names beginning with "xn--" must also be valid Internationalized Domain Names. Punycode examples Domain Name Fulfills #1 Fulfills #2 AllowedNote example.com n/a n/a a--exampl e.com n/a n/a ✓ ✓ Does not start with "<charact er><character>--" Does not start with "<charact er><character>--" Version 1.0 69 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Domain Name Fulfills #1 Fulfills #2 AllowedNote abc--exam ple.com n/a n/a xn--xyz.com Yes Yes xn--examp le.com ab--examp le.com Yes No No No ✓ ✓ ✗ ✗ Does not start with "<charact er><character>--" Valid Internationalized Domain Name (resolves to 简.com) Not a valid Internationalized Domain Name Must start with "xn--" When ACM renews a certificate, the certificate's Amazon Resource Name (ARN) remains the same. Also, ACM certificates are regional resources. If you have certificates for the same domain name in multiple AWS Regions, each of these certificates must be renewed independently. Topics • Renew ACM public certificates • Private certificate renewal in AWS Certificate Manager • Check a certificate's renewal status Renew ACM public certificates When issuing a managed, publicly trusted certificate, AWS Certificate Manager requires you to prove that you are the domain owner. This happens by means of either DNS validation or email validation. When a certificate comes up for renewal, ACM uses the same method that you chose earlier to re-validate your ownership. The following topics describe how the renewal process works in each case. Topics • Renewal for domains validated by DNS • Renewal for email-validated domains • Renewal for domains validated by HTTP Public certificates Version 1.0 70 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Renewal for domains validated by DNS Managed renewal is fully automated for ACM certificates that were originally issued using DNS validation. At 60 days prior to expiration, ACM checks for the following renewal criteria: • The certificate is currently in use by an AWS service. • All required ACM-provided DNS CNAME records (one for each unique Subject Alternative Name) are present and accessible via public DNS. If these criteria are met, ACM considers the domain names validated and renews the certificate. ACM sends AWS Health events and Amazon EventBridge events if it can't automatically validate a domain during renewal. These events are sent at 45 days, 30 days, 15 days, seven days, three days, and one day prior to expiration. For more information, see Amazon EventBridge support for ACM. Renewal for email-validated domains ACM certificates are valid for 13 months (395 days). Renewing a certificate requires action by the domain owner. ACM begins sending renewal notices to the email addresses associated with the domain 45 days before expiration. The notifications contain a link that the domain owner can click for renewal. Once all listed domains are validated, ACM issues a renewed certificate with the same ARN. ACM sends AWS Health events and Amazon EventBridge events if it can't automatically validate a domain during renewal. These events are sent at 45 days, 30 days, 15 days, seven days, three days, and one day prior to expiration. For more information, see Amazon EventBridge support for ACM. For more information about validation email messages, see AWS Certificate Manager email validation To learn how you can respond programmatically to validation email, see Automate AWS Certificate Manager email validation. Resend validation email After you configure email validation for your domain when you request a certificate (see AWS Certificate Manager email validation), you can use the AWS Certificate Manager API to request that DNS-validated domains Version 1.0 71 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide ACM send you a domain validation email for your certificate renewal. You should do this in the following circumstances: • You used email validation when initially requesting your ACM certificate. • Your certificate's renewal status is pending validation. For information about determining a certificate's renewal status, see Check a certificate's renewal status. • You didn't receive or can't find the original domain validation email message that ACM sent for certificate renewal.

you can use the AWS Certificate Manager API to request that DNS-validated domains Version 1.0 71 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide ACM send you a domain validation email for your certificate renewal. You should do this in the following circumstances: • You used email validation when initially requesting your ACM certificate. • Your certificate's renewal status is pending validation. For information about determining a certificate's renewal status, see Check a certificate's renewal status. • You didn't receive or can't find the original domain validation email message that ACM sent for certificate renewal. To send validation emails to a different domain than what you originally configured in your certificate request, you can use the ResendValidationEmail operation in the ACM API, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. ACM will send emails to the specified validation domain. You can access the AWS CLI in browser by using AWS CloudShell in supported Regions. To request that ACM resend the domain validation email message (console) 1. Open the AWS Certificate Manager console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/acm/home. 2. Choose the Certificate ID of the certificate that requires validation. 3. Choose Resend validation email. To request that ACM resend the domain validation email (ACM API) Use the ResendValidationEmail operation in the ACM API. In doing so, pass the ARN of the certificate, the domain that requires manual validation, and domain where you want to receive the domain validation emails. The following example shows how to do this with the AWS CLI. This example contains line breaks to make it easier to read. $ aws acm resend-validation-email \ --certificate-arn arn:aws:acm:region:account:certificate/certificate_ID \ --domain subdomain.example.com \ --validation-domain example.com Renewal for domains validated by HTTP ACM provides automated managed renewal for certificates that were originally issued using HTTP validation through CloudFront. At 60 days prior to expiration, ACM checks for the following renewal criteria: HTTP-validated domains Version 1.0 72 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide • The certificate is currently in use by CloudFront. • All required HTTP validation records are accessible and contain the expected content. If these criteria are met, ACM considers the domain names validated and renews the certificate. ACM sends AWS Health events and Amazon EventBridge events if it can't automatically validate a domain during renewal. These events are sent at 45 days, 30 days, 15 days, seven days, three days, and one day prior to expiration. For more information, see Amazon EventBridge support for ACM. To ensure successful renewal, make sure that the content at the RedirectFrom location matches the content at the RedirectTo location for each domain in the certificate. Private certificate renewal in AWS Certificate Manager ACM certificates that were signed by a private CA from AWS Private CA are eligible for managed renewal. Unlike publicly trusted ACM certificates, a certificate for a private PKI requires no validation. Trust is established when an administrator installs the appropriate root CA certificate in client trust stores. Note Only certificates obtained using the ACM console or the RequestCertificate action of the ACM API are eligible for managed renewal. Certificates issued directly from AWS Private CA using the IssueCertificate action of the AWS Private CA API are not managed by ACM. When a managed certificate is 60 days away from expiration, ACM automatically attempts to renew it. This includes certificates that were exported and installed manually (for example, in an on- premises data center). Customers can also force renewal at any time using the RenewCertificate action of the ACM API. For a sample Java implementation of forced renewal, see Renewing a certificate. After renewal, a certificate's deployment into service occurs in one of the following ways: • If the certificate is associated with an ACM integrated service, the new certificate replaces the old one without additional customer action. • If the certificate is not associated with an ACM integrated service, customer action is required to export and install the renewed certificate. You can perform these actions manually, or with Private certificates Version 1.0 73 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide assistance from AWS Health, Amazon EventBridge, and AWS Lambda as follows. For more information, see Automate export of renewed certificates Automate export of renewed certificates The following procedure provides an example solution for automating export of your private PKI certificates when ACM renews them. This example only exports a certificate and its private key out of ACM; after export, the certificate must still be installed on its target device. To automate certificate export using the console 1. Following procedures in the AWS Lambda Developer Guide, create and configure a Lambda function that calls ACM export API. a. Create a Lambda function. b. Create a Lambda execution role for your function and add the following trust policy to it. The policy grants permission to the code in your function to retrieve the renewed certificate and private key by calling the ExportCertificate action of the

them. This example only exports a certificate and its private key out of ACM; after export, the certificate must still be installed on its target device. To automate certificate export using the console 1. Following procedures in the AWS Lambda Developer Guide, create and configure a Lambda function that calls ACM export API. a. Create a Lambda function. b. Create a Lambda execution role for your function and add the following trust policy to it. The policy grants permission to the code in your function to retrieve the renewed certificate and private key by calling the ExportCertificate action of the ACM API. { "Version":"2012-10-17", "Statement":[ { "Effect":"Allow", "Action":"acm:ExportCertificate", "Resource":"*" } ] } 2. Create a rule in Amazon EventBridge to listen for ACM health events and call your Lambda function when it detects one. ACM writes to an AWS Health event each time it attempts to renew a certificate. For more information about these notices, see Check the status using Personal Health Dashboard (PHD). Configure the rule by adding the following event pattern. { "source":[ Automate export of renewed certificates Version 1.0 74 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide "aws.health" ], "detail-type":[ "AWS Health Event" ], "detail":{ "service":[ "ACM" ], "eventTypeCategory":[ "scheduledChange" ], "eventTypeCode":[ "AWS_ACM_RENEWAL_STATE_CHANGE" ] }, "resources":[ "arn:aws:acm:region:account:certificate/certificate_ID" ] } 3. Complete the renewal process by manually installing the certificate on the target system. Test managed renewal of private PKI certificates You can use the ACM API or AWS CLI to manually test the configuration of your ACM managed renewal workflow. By doing so, you can confirm that your certificates will be renewed automatically by ACM prior to expiration. Note You can only test the renewal of certificates issued and exported by AWS Private CA. When you use API actions or CLI commands described below, ACM attempts to renew the certificate. If the renewal succeeds, ACM updates the certificate metadata displayed in the management console or in API output. If the certificate is associated with an ACM integrated services, the new certificate is deployed and a renewal event is generated in Amazon CloudWatch Events. If the renewal fails, ACM returns a error and suggests remedial action. (You can view this information using the describe-certificate command.) If the certificate is not deployed through an integrated service, you still need to export it and manually install it on your resource. Test managed renewal Version 1.0 75 AWS Certificate Manager Important User Guide In order to renew your AWS Private CA certificates with ACM, you must first grant the ACM service principal permissions to do so. For more information, see Assigning Certificate Renewal Permissions to ACM. To manually test certificate renewal (AWS CLI) 1. Use the renew-certificate command to renew a private exported certificate. aws acm renew-certificate \ --certificate-arn arn:aws:acm:region:account:certificate/certificate_ID 2. Then use the describe-certificate command to confirm that the certificate's renewal details have been updated. aws acm describe-certificate \ --certificate-arn arn:aws:acm:region:account:certificate/certificate_ID To manually test certificate renewal (ACM API) • Send a RenewCertificate request, specifying the ARN of the private certificate to renew. Then use the DescribeCertificate operation to confirm that the certificate's renewal details have been updated. Check a certificate's renewal status When you have attempted to renew a certificate, ACM provides a Renewal status information field in the certificate details. You can use the AWS Certificate Manager console, the ACM API, the AWS CLI, or the AWS Health Dashboard to check the renewal status of an ACM certificate. If you use the console, AWS CLI, or ACM API, the renewal status can have one of the four possible status values listed below. Similar values are displayed if you use the AWS Health Dashboard. Pending automatic renewal ACM is attempting to automatically validate the domain names in the certificate. For more information, see Renewal for domains validated by DNS. No further action is required. Check renewal status Version 1.0 76 AWS Certificate Manager Pending validation User Guide ACM couldn't automatically validate one or more domain names in the certificate. You must take action to validate these domain names or the certificate won't be renewed. If you originally used email validation for the certificate, look for an email from ACM and then follow the link in that email to perform the validation. If you used DNS validation, check to make sure your DNS record exists and that your certificate remains in use. Success All domain names in the certificate are validated, and ACM renewed the certificate. No further action is required. Failed One or more domain names were not validated before the certificate expired, and ACM did not renew the certificate. You can request a new certificate. A certificate is eligible for renewal if it is associated with another AWS service, such as Elastic Load Balancing or CloudFront, or if it has been exported since being issued or last renewed. Note It can

you used DNS validation, check to make sure your DNS record exists and that your certificate remains in use. Success All domain names in the certificate are validated, and ACM renewed the certificate. No further action is required. Failed One or more domain names were not validated before the certificate expired, and ACM did not renew the certificate. You can request a new certificate. A certificate is eligible for renewal if it is associated with another AWS service, such as Elastic Load Balancing or CloudFront, or if it has been exported since being issued or last renewed. Note It can take up to several hours for changes to the renewal status to become available. If a problem is encountered, the renewal request times out after 72 hours, and the renewal process must be repeated from the beginning. For troubleshooting help, see Troubleshoot certificate requests. Topics • Check the status (console) • Check the status (API) • Check the status (CLI) • Check the status using Personal Health Dashboard (PHD) Check the status (console) The following procedure discusses how to use the ACM console to check the renewal status of an ACM certificate. Check the status (console) Version 1.0 77 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide 1. Open the AWS Certificate Manager console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/acm/home. 2. 3. Expand a certificate to view its details. Find the Renewal status in the Details section. If you don't see the status, ACM hasn't started the managed renewal process for this certificate. Check the status (API) For a Java example that shows how to use the DescribeCertificate action to check the status, see Describing a certificate. Check the status (CLI) The following example shows how to check the status of your ACM certificate renewal with the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). $ aws acm describe-certificate \ --certificate-arn arn:aws:acm:region:account:certificate/certificate_ID In the response, note the value in the RenewalStatus field. If you don't see the RenewalStatus field, ACM hasn't started the managed renewal process for your certificate. Check the status using Personal Health Dashboard (PHD) ACM attempts to automatically renew your ACM certificate 60 days prior to expiration. If ACM cannot automatically renew your certificate, it sends certificate renewal event notices to your AWS Health Dashboard at 45 day, 30 day, 15 day, 7 day, 3 day, and 1 day intervals from expiration to inform you that you need to take action. The AWS Health Dashboard is part of the AWS Health service. It requires no setup and can be viewed by any user that is authenticated in your account. For more information, see AWS Health User Guide. Note ACM writes successive renewal event notices to a single event in your PHD time line. Each notice overwrites the previous one until the renewal succeeds. Check the status (API) Version 1.0 78 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide To use the AWS Health Dashboard: 1. Log in to the AWS Health Dashboard at https://phd.aws.amazon.com/phd/home#/. 2. Choose Event log. 3. For Filter by tags or attributes, choose Service. 4. Choose Certificate Manager. 5. Choose Apply. 6. For Event category choose Scheduled Change. 7. Choose Apply. Check the status using Personal Health Dashboard (PHD) Version 1.0 79 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Tag AWS Certificate Manager resources A tag is a label that you can assign to an ACM certificate. Each tag consists of a key and a value. You can use the AWS Certificate Manager console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or ACM API to add, view, or remove tags for ACM certificates. You can choose which tags to display in the ACM console. You can create custom tags that suit your needs. For example, you could tag multiple ACM certificates with an Environment = Prod or Environment = Beta tag to identify which environment each ACM certificate is intended for. The following list includes a few additional examples of other custom tags: • Admin = Alice • Purpose = Website • Protocol = TLS • Registrar = Route53 Other AWS resources also support tagging. You can, therefore, assign the same tag to different resources to indicate whether those resources are related. For example, you can assign a tag such as Website = example.com to the ACM certificate, the load balancer, and other resources used for your example.com website. Topics • Tag restrictions • Managing tags Tag restrictions The following basic restrictions apply to ACM certificate tags: • The maximum number of tags per ACM certificate is 50. • The maximum length of a tag key is 127 characters. • The maximum length of a tag value is 255 characters. • Tag keys and values are case sensitive.

You cannot install your ACM certificate or your private AWS Private CA certificate directly on your AWS based website or application. Note Public ACM certificates can be installed on Amazon EC2 instances that are connected to a Nitro Enclave, but not to other Amazon EC2 instances. For information about setting up a standalone web server on an Amazon EC2 instance not connected to a Nitro Enclave, see Tutorial: Install a LAMP web server on Amazon Linux 2 or Tutorial: Install a LAMP web server with the Amazon Linux AMI. ACM certificates are supported by the following services: Elastic Load Balancing Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes your incoming application traffic across multiple Amazon EC2 instances. It detects unhealthy instances and reroutes traffic to healthy instances until the unhealthy instances have been restored. Elastic Load Balancing automatically scales its request handling capacity in response to incoming traffic. For more information about load balancing, see the Elastic Load Balancing User Guide.

It detects unhealthy instances and reroutes traffic to healthy instances until the unhealthy instances have been restored. Elastic Load Balancing automatically scales its request handling capacity in response to incoming traffic. For more information about load balancing, see the Elastic Load Balancing User Guide. In general, to serve secure content over SSL/TLS, load balancers require that SSL/TLS certificates be installed on either the load balancer or the back-end Amazon EC2 instance. ACM is integrated with Elastic Load Balancing to deploy ACM certificates on the load balancer. For more information, see Create an Application Load Balancer Amazon CloudFront Amazon CloudFront is a web service that speeds up distribution of your dynamic and static web content to end users by delivering your content from a worldwide network of edge locations. When an end user requests content that you're serving through CloudFront, the user is routed to the edge location that provides the lowest latency. This ensures that content is delivered with the best possible performance. If the content is currently at that edge location, CloudFront delivers it immediately. If the content is not currently at that edge location, CloudFront retrieves Version 1.0 84 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide it from the Amazon S3 bucket or web server that you have identified as the definitive content source. For more information about CloudFront, see the Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide. To serve secure content over SSL/TLS, CloudFront requires that SSL/TLS certificates be installed on either the CloudFront distribution or on the backed content source. ACM is integrated with CloudFront to deploy ACM certificates on the CloudFront distribution. For more information, see Getting an SSL/TLS Certificate. Note To use an ACM certificate with CloudFront, you must request or import the certificate in the US East (N. Virginia) region. Amazon Cognito Amazon Cognito provides authentication, authorization, and user management for your web and mobile applications. Users can sign in directly with your AWS account credentials or through a third party such as Facebook, Amazon, Google, or Apple. For more information about Amazon Cognito, see Amazon Cognito Developer Guide. When you configure a Cognito user pool to use an Amazon CloudFront proxy, CloudFront may put an ACM certificate in place to secure the custom domain. When this is the case, be aware that you must remove the certificate's association with CloudFront before you can delete it. AWS Elastic Beanstalk Elastic Beanstalk helps you deploy and manage applications in the AWS Cloud without worrying about the infrastructure that runs those applications. AWS Elastic Beanstalk reduces management complexity. You simply upload your application and Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, scaling, and health monitoring. Elastic Beanstalk uses the Elastic Load Balancing service to create a load balancer. For more information about Elastic Beanstalk, see the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide. To choose a certificate, you must configure the load balancer for your application in the Elastic Beanstalk console. For more information, see Configuring Your Elastic Beanstalk Environment's Load Balancer to Terminate HTTPS. Version 1.0 85 AWS Certificate Manager AWS App Runner User Guide App Runner is an AWS service that provides a fast, simple, and cost-effective way to deploy from source code or a container image directly to a scalable and secure web application in the AWS Cloud. You don't need to learn new technologies, decide which compute service to use, or know how to provision and configure AWS resources. For more information about App Runner, see the AWS App Runner Developer Guide. When you associate custom domain names with your App Runner service, App Runner internally creates certificates that track domain validity. They're stored in ACM. App Runner doesn't delete these certificates for seven days after a domain is disassociated from your service or after the service is deleted. This entire process is automated and you don't need to add or manage any certificates yourself. For more information, see Managing custom domain names for an App Runner service in the AWS App Runner Developer Guide. Amazon API Gateway With the proliferation of mobile devices and growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), it has become increasingly common to create APIs that can be used to access data and interact with back-end systems on AWS. You can use API Gateway to publish, maintain, monitor, and secure your APIs. After you deploy your API to API Gateway, you can set up a custom domain name to simplify access to it. To set up a custom domain name, you must provide an SSL/TLS certificate. You

You can use API Gateway to publish, maintain, monitor, and secure your APIs. After you deploy your API to API Gateway, you can set up a custom domain name to simplify access to it. To set up a custom domain name, you must provide an SSL/TLS certificate. You can use ACM to generate or import the certificate. For more information about Amazon API Gateway, see the Amazon API Gateway Developer Guide. AWS Nitro Enclaves AWS Nitro Enclaves is an Amazon EC2 feature that allows you to create isolated execution environments, called enclaves, from Amazon EC2 instances. Enclaves are separate, hardened, and highly constrained virtual machines. They provide only secure local socket connectivity with their parent instance. They have no persistent storage, interactive access, or external networking. Users cannot SSH into an enclave, and the data and applications inside the enclave cannot be accessed by the parent instance's processes, applications, or users (including root or admin). EC2 instances connected to Nitro Enclaves support ACM certificates. For more information, see AWS Certificate Manager for Nitro Enclaves. Version 1.0 86 AWS Certificate Manager Note User Guide You cannot associate ACM certificates with an EC2 instance that is not connected to a Nitro Enclave. AWS CloudFormation AWS CloudFormation helps you model and set up your Amazon Web Services resources. You create a template that describes the AWS resources that you want to use, such as Elastic Load Balancing or API Gateway. Then AWS CloudFormation takes care of provisioning and configuring those resources for you. You don't need to individually create and configure AWS resources and figure out what's dependent on what; AWS CloudFormation handles all of that. ACM certificates are included as a template resource, which means that AWS CloudFormation can request ACM certificates that you can use with AWS services to enable secure connections. In addition, ACM certificates are included with many of the AWS resources that you can set up with AWS CloudFormation. For general information about CloudFormation, see the AWS CloudFormation User Guide. For information about ACM resources supported by CloudFormation, see AWS::CertificateManager::Certificate. With the powerful automation provided by AWS CloudFormation, it is easy to exceed your certificate quota, especially with new AWS accounts. We recommend that you follow the ACM best practices for AWS CloudFormation. Note If you create an ACM certificate with AWS CloudFormation, the AWS CloudFormation stack remains in the CREATE_IN_PROGRESS state. Any further stack operations are delayed until you act upon the instructions in the certificate validation email. For more information, see Resource Failed to Stabilize During a Create, Update, or Delete Stack Operation. AWS Amplify Amplify is a set of purpose-built tools and features that enables front-end web and mobile developers to quickly and easily build full-stack applications on AWS. Amplify provides two Version 1.0 87 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide services: Amplify Hosting and Amplify Studio. Amplify Hosting provides a git-based workflow for hosting full-stack serverless web apps with continuous deployment. Amplify Studio is a visual development environment that simplifies the creation of scalable, full-stack web and mobile apps. Use Studio to build your front-end UI with a set of ready-to-use UI components, create an app backend, and then connect the two together. For more information about Amplify, see the AWS Amplify User Guide. If you connect a custom domain to your application, the Amplify console issues an ACM certificate to secure it. Amazon OpenSearch Service Amazon OpenSearch Service is a search and analytics engine for use cases such as log analytics, real-time application monitoring, and click stream analysis. For more information, see the Amazon OpenSearch Service Developer Guide. When you create an OpenSearch Service cluster that contains a custom domain and endpoint, you can use ACM to provision the associated Application Load Balancer with a certificate. AWS Network Firewall AWS Network Firewall is a managed service that makes it easy to deploy essential network protections for all of your Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). For more information about Network Firewall, see the AWS Network Firewall Developer Guide. Network Firewall firewall integrates with ACM for TLS inspection. If you use TLS inspection in Network Firewall, you must configure an ACM certificate for the decryption and re-encryption of the SSL/TLS traffic going through your firewall.

For information about how Network Firewall works with ACM for TLS inspection, see Requirements for using SSL/TLS certificates with TLS inspection configurations in the AWS Network Firewall Developer Guide. Version 1.0 88 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide Security in AWS Certificate Manager Cloud security at AWS is the highest priority. As an AWS customer, you benefit from data centers and network architectures that are built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations. Security is a shared responsibility between AWS and you. The shared responsibility model describes this as security of the cloud and security in the cloud: • Security of the cloud – AWS is responsible for protecting the infrastructure that runs AWS services in the AWS Cloud. AWS also provides you with services that you can use securely. Third- party auditors regularly test and verify the effectiveness of our security as part of the AWS Compliance Programs. To learn about the compliance programs that apply to AWS Certificate Manager, see AWS Services in Scope by Compliance Program. • Security in the cloud – Your responsibility is determined by the AWS service that you use. You are also responsible for other factors including the sensitivity of your data, your company’s requirements, and applicable laws and regulations. This documentation helps you understand how to apply the shared responsibility model when using AWS Certificate Manager (ACM). The following topics show you how to configure ACM to meet your security and compliance objectives. You also learn how to use other AWS services that help you to monitor and secure your ACM resources. Topics • Data protection in AWS Certificate Manager • Identity and Access Management for AWS Certificate Manager • Resilience in AWS Certificate Manager • Infrastructure security in AWS Certificate Manager • Best practices Data protection in AWS Certificate Manager The AWS shared responsibility model applies to data protection in AWS Certificate Manager. As described in this model, AWS is responsible for protecting the global infrastructure that runs all Data protection Version 1.0 89 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide of the AWS Cloud. You are responsible for maintaining control over your content that is hosted on this infrastructure. You are also responsible for the security configuration and management tasks for the AWS services that you use. For more information about data privacy, see the Data Privacy FAQ. For information about data protection in Europe, see the AWS Shared Responsibility Model and GDPR blog post on the AWS Security Blog. For data protection purposes, we recommend that you protect AWS account credentials and set up individual users with AWS IAM Identity Center or AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). That way, each user is given only the permissions necessary to fulfill their job duties. We also recommend that you secure your data in the following ways: • Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) with each account. • Use SSL/TLS to communicate with AWS resources. We require TLS 1.2 and recommend TLS 1.3. • Set up API and user activity logging with AWS CloudTrail. For information about using CloudTrail trails to capture AWS activities, see Working with CloudTrail trails in the AWS CloudTrail User Guide. • Use AWS encryption solutions, along with all default security controls within AWS services. • Use advanced managed security services such as Amazon Macie, which assists in discovering and securing sensitive data that is stored in Amazon S3. • If you require FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules when accessing AWS through a command line interface or an API, use a FIPS endpoint. For more information about the available FIPS endpoints, see Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3. We strongly recommend that you never put confidential or sensitive information, such as your customers' email addresses, into tags or free-form text fields such as a Name field. This includes when you work with ACM or other AWS services using the console, API, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs. Any data that you enter into tags or free-form text fields used for names may be used for billing or diagnostic logs. If you provide a URL to an external server, we strongly recommend that you do not include credentials information in the URL to validate your request to that server. Security for certificate private keys When you request a public certificate, AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) generates a public/private key pair. For imported certificates, you generate the key pair. The public key becomes part of the certificate. ACM stores the certificate and its corresponding private key, and uses AWS Key Management Service (AWS

If you provide a URL to an external server, we strongly recommend that you do not include credentials information in the URL to validate your request to that server. Security for certificate private keys When you request a public certificate, AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) generates a public/private key pair. For imported certificates, you generate the key pair. The public key becomes part of the certificate. ACM stores the certificate and its corresponding private key, and uses AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) to help protect the private key. The process works like this: Security for certificate private keys Version 1.0 90 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide 1. The first time you request or import a certificate in an AWS Region, ACM creates a managed AWS KMS key with the alias aws/acm. This KMS key is unique in each AWS account and each AWS Region. 2. ACM uses this KMS key to encrypt the certificate's private key. ACM stores only an encrypted version of the private key; ACM does not store the private key in plaintext form. ACM uses the same KMS key to encrypt the private keys for all certificates in a specific AWS account and a specific AWS Region. 3. When you associate the certificate with a service that is integrated with AWS Certificate Manager, ACM sends the certificate and the encrypted private key to the service. A grant is also created in AWS KMS that allows the service to use the KMS key to decrypt the certificate's private key. For more information about grants, see Using Grants in the AWS Key Management Service Developer Guide. For more information about services supported by ACM, see Services integrated with ACM. Note You have control over the automatically created AWS KMS grant. If you delete this grant for any reason, you lose ACM functionality for the integrated service. 4. Integrated services use the KMS key to decrypt the private key. Then the service uses the certificate and the decrypted (plaintext) private key to establish secure communication channels (SSL/TLS sessions) with its clients. 5. When the certificate is disassociated from an integrated service, the grant created in step 3 is retired. This means the service can no longer use the KMS key to decrypt the certificate's private key. Identity and Access Management for AWS Certificate Manager AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an AWS service that helps an administrator securely control access to AWS resources. IAM administrators control who can be authenticated (signed in) and authorized (have permissions) to use ACM resources. IAM is an AWS service that you can use with no additional charge.

Service user – If you use the ACM service to do your job, then your administrator provides you with the credentials and permissions that you need. As you use more ACM features to do your work, you might need additional permissions. Understanding how access is managed can help you request the right permissions from your administrator. If you cannot access a feature in ACM, see Troubleshooting AWS Certificate Manager identity and access. Service administrator – If you're in charge of ACM resources at your company, you probably have full access to ACM. It's your job to determine which ACM features and resources your service users should access. You must then submit requests to your IAM administrator to change the permissions of your service users. Review the information on this page to understand the basic concepts of IAM. To learn more about how your company can use IAM with ACM, see How AWS Certificate Manager works with IAM. IAM administrator – If you're an IAM administrator, you might want to learn details about how you can write policies to manage access to ACM. To view example ACM identity-based policies that you can use in IAM, see Identity-based policy examples for AWS Certificate Manager. Authenticating with identities Authentication is how you sign in to AWS using your identity credentials. You must be authenticated (signed in to AWS) as the AWS account root user, as an IAM user, or by assuming an IAM role. Audience Version 1.0 92 AWS Certificate Manager User

To view example ACM identity-based policies that you can use in IAM, see Identity-based policy examples for AWS Certificate Manager. Authenticating with identities Authentication is how you sign in to AWS using your identity credentials. You must be authenticated (signed in to AWS) as the AWS account root user, as an IAM user, or by assuming an IAM role. Audience Version 1.0 92 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide You can sign in to AWS as a federated identity by using credentials provided through an identity source. AWS IAM Identity Center (IAM Identity Center) users, your company's single sign-on authentication, and your Google or Facebook credentials are examples of federated identities. When you sign in as a federated identity, your administrator previously set up identity federation using IAM roles. When you access AWS by using federation, you are indirectly assuming a role. Depending on the type of user you are, you can sign in to the AWS Management Console or the AWS access portal. For more information about signing in to AWS, see How to sign in to your AWS account in the AWS Sign-In User Guide. If you access AWS programmatically, AWS provides a software development kit (SDK) and a command line interface (CLI) to cryptographically sign your requests by using your credentials. If you don't use AWS tools, you must sign requests yourself. For more information about using the recommended method to sign requests yourself, see AWS Signature Version 4 for API requests in the IAM User Guide. Regardless of the authentication method that you use, you might be required to provide additional security information. For example, AWS recommends that you use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to increase the security of your account. To learn more, see Multi-factor authentication in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide and AWS Multi-factor authentication in IAM in the IAM User Guide. AWS account root user When you create an AWS account, you begin with one sign-in identity that has complete access to all AWS services and resources in the account. This identity is called the AWS account root user and is accessed by signing in with the email address and password that you used to create the account. We strongly recommend that you don't use the root user for your everyday tasks. Safeguard your root user credentials and use them to perform the tasks that only the root user can perform. For the complete list of tasks that require you to sign in as the root user, see Tasks that require root user credentials in the IAM User Guide. Federated identity As a best practice, require human users, including users that require administrator access, to use federation with an identity provider to access AWS services by using temporary credentials. A federated identity is a user from your enterprise user directory, a web identity provider, the AWS Directory Service, the Identity Center directory, or any user that accesses AWS services by using Authenticating with identities Version 1.0 93 AWS Certificate Manager User Guide credentials provided through an identity source. When federated identities access AWS accounts, they assume roles, and the roles provide temporary credentials. For centralized access management, we recommend that you use AWS IAM Identity Center. You can create users and groups in IAM Identity Center, or you can connect and synchronize to a set of users and groups in your own identity source for use across all your AWS accounts and applications. For information about IAM Identity Center, see What is IAM Identity Center? in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide. IAM users and groups An IAM user is an identity within your AWS account that has specific permissions for a single person or application. Where possible, we recommend relying on temporary credentials instead of creating IAM users who have long-term credentials such as passwords and access keys. However, if you have specific use cases that require long-term credentials with IAM users, we recommend that you rotate access keys. For more information, see Rotate access keys regularly for use cases that require long- term credentials in the IAM User Guide. An IAM group is an identity that specifies a collection of IAM users. You can't sign in as a group. You can use groups to specify permissions for multiple users at a time. Groups make permissions easier to manage for large sets of users. For example, you could have a group named IAMAdmins and give that group permissions to administer IAM resources. Users are different from roles. A user is uniquely associated with one person or application, but a role is intended to be assumable by anyone who
