import_certificate

Transfer.Client.import_certificate(**kwargs)

Imports the signing and encryption certificates that you need to create local (AS2) profiles and partner profiles.

You can import both the certificate and its chain in the Certificate parameter.

Note

If you use the Certificate parameter to upload both the certificate and its chain, don’t use the CertificateChain parameter.

Request Syntax

response = client.import_certificate(
    Usage='SIGNING'|'ENCRYPTION'|'TLS',
    Certificate='string',
    CertificateChain='string',
    PrivateKey='string',
    ActiveDate=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
    InactiveDate=datetime(2015, 1, 1),
    Description='string',
    Tags=[
        {
            'Key': 'string',
            'Value': 'string'
        },
    ]
)
Parameters:

  • Usage (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    Specifies how this certificate is used. It can be used in the following ways:

    • SIGNING: For signing AS2 messages

    • ENCRYPTION: For encrypting AS2 messages

    • TLS: For securing AS2 communications sent over HTTPS

  • Certificate (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    • For the CLI, provide a file path for a certificate in URI format. For example, --certificate file://encryption-cert.pem. Alternatively, you can provide the raw content.

    • For the SDK, specify the raw content of a certificate file. For example, --certificate "`cat encryption-cert.pem`".

    Note

    You can provide both the certificate and its chain in this parameter, without needing to use the CertificateChain parameter. If you use this parameter for both the certificate and its chain, do not use the CertificateChain parameter.

  • CertificateChain (string) – An optional list of certificates that make up the chain for the certificate that’s being imported.

  • PrivateKey (string) –

    • For the CLI, provide a file path for a private key in URI format. For example, --private-key file://encryption-key.pem. Alternatively, you can provide the raw content of the private key file.

    • For the SDK, specify the raw content of a private key file. For example, --private-key "`cat encryption-key.pem`"

  • ActiveDate (datetime) – An optional date that specifies when the certificate becomes active. If you do not specify a value, ActiveDate takes the same value as NotBeforeDate, which is specified by the CA.

  • InactiveDate (datetime) – An optional date that specifies when the certificate becomes inactive. If you do not specify a value, InactiveDate takes the same value as NotAfterDate, which is specified by the CA.

  • Description (string) – A short description that helps identify the certificate.

  • Tags (list) –

    Key-value pairs that can be used to group and search for certificates.

    • (dict) –

      Creates a key-value pair for a specific resource. Tags are metadata that you can use to search for and group a resource for various purposes. You can apply tags to servers, users, and roles. A tag key can take more than one value. For example, to group servers for accounting purposes, you might create a tag called Group and assign the values Research and Accounting to that group.

      • Key (string) – [REQUIRED]

        The name assigned to the tag that you create.

      • Value (string) – [REQUIRED]

        Contains one or more values that you assigned to the key name you create.

Return type:

dict

Returns:
