Revoke a client certificate

If you detect suspicious activity on a registered client certificate, you can revoke it so that it can't be used again.

Note

Once a certificate is revoked, it's status can't be changed. That is, the certificate status can't be changed to Active or any other status.

Revoke a client certificate (console)

To revoke a client certificate using the Amazon IoT console

  3. In the list of certificates, locate the certificate that you want to revoke, and open the option menu by using the ellipsis icon.

Revoke a client certificate (CLI)

The Amazon CLI provides the update-certificate command to revoke a certificate.
