Use Amazon Private CA certificate templates

Amazon Private CA uses configuration templates to issue both CA certificates and end-entity certificates. When you issue a CA certificate from the PCA console, the appropriate root or subordinate CA certificate template is applied automatically.

If you use the CLI or API to issue a certificate, you can supply a template ARN as a parameter to the IssueCertificate action. If you provide no ARN, then the EndEntityCertificate/V1 template is applied by default. For more information, see the IssueCertificate API and issue-certificate command documentation.

Note

Amazon Certificate Manager (ACM) users with cross-account shared access to a private CA can issue managed certificates that are signed by the CA. Cross-account issuers are constrained by a resource-based policy and have access only to the following end-entity certificate templates:
