Step 2: Create the revocation Connection Function

Create a Connection Function that checks certificate serial numbers against the KeyValueStore to determine if certificates are revoked.

Create a Connection Function that checks certificate serial numbers against the KeyValueStore:

aws cloudfront create-connection-function \
  --name "revocation-control" \
  --connection-function-config file://connection-function-config.json \
  --connection-function-code file://connection-function-code.txt

The configuration file specifies the KeyValueStore association:

{
  "Runtime": "cloudfront-js-2.0",
  "Comment": "A function that implements revocation control via KVS",
  "KeyValueStoreAssociations": {
    "Quantity": 1,
    "Items": [
      {
        "KeyValueStoreArn": "arn:aws:cloudfront::account-id:key-value-store/kvs-id"
      }
    ]
  }
}

The Connection Function code checks the KeyValueStore for revoked certificates:

import cf from 'cloudfront';

async function connectionHandler(connection) {
    const kvsHandle = cf.kvs();
    
    // Get parsed client serial number from client certificate
    const clientSerialNumber = connection.clientCertInfo.serialNumber;
    
    // Check KVS to see if serial number exists as a key
    const serialNumberExistsInKvs = await kvsHandle.exists(clientSerialNumber);
    
    // Deny connection if serial number exists in KVS
    if (serialNumberExistsInKvs) {
        console.log("Connection denied - certificate revoked");
        return connection.deny();
    }
    
    // Allow connections that don't exist in kvs
    console.log("Connection allowed");
    return connection.allow();
}
