acmpca_delete_certificate_authority: Deletes a private certificate authority (CA)

Description

Deletes a private certificate authority (CA). You must provide the ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the private CA that you want to delete. You can find the ARN by calling the ListCertificateAuthorities operation. Before you can delete a CA, you must disable it. Call the UpdateCertificateAuthority operation and set the CertificateAuthorityStatus parameter to DISABLED.

Usage

acmpca_delete_certificate_authority(CertificateAuthorityArn,
  PermanentDeletionTimeInDays)

Arguments

CertificateAuthorityArn

[required] The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that was returned when you called CreateCertificateAuthority. This must have the following form:

arn:aws:acm-pca:<i>region</i>:<i>account</i>:certificate-authority/<i>12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012</i> .

PermanentDeletionTimeInDays

The number of days to make a CA restorable after it has been deleted. This can be anywhere from 7 to 30 days, with 30 being the default.

Request syntax

svc$delete_certificate_authority(
  CertificateAuthorityArn = "string",
  PermanentDeletionTimeInDays = 123
)

Details

Additionally, you can delete a CA if you are waiting for it to be created (the Status field of the CertificateAuthority is CREATING). You can also delete it if the CA has been created but you haven't yet imported the signed certificate (the Status is PENDING_CERTIFICATE) into ACM PCA.

If the CA is in one of the previously mentioned states and you call DeleteCertificateAuthority, the CA's status changes to DELETED. However, the CA won't be permanently deleted until the restoration period has passed. By default, if you do not set the PermanentDeletionTimeInDays parameter, the CA remains restorable for 30 days. You can set the parameter from 7 to 30 days. The DescribeCertificateAuthority operation returns the time remaining in the restoration window of a Private CA in the DELETED state. To restore an eligible CA, call the RestoreCertificateAuthority operation.
