Field

Type

Description

certificate

object

Metadata about an ACM certificate.

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the certificate. For more information about ARNs, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

DomainName

string

The fully qualified domain name for the certificate, such as www.example.com or example.com.

SubjectAlternativeNames

[string]

One or more domain names (subject alternative names) included in the certificate. This list contains the domain names that are bound to the public key that is contained in the certificate. The subject alternative names include the canonical domain name (CN) of the certificate and additional domain names that can be used to connect to the website.

DomainValidationOptions

[object]

Contains information about the initial validation of each domain name that occurs as a result of the RequestCertificate request. This field exists only when the certificate type is AMAZON_ISSUED.

DomainName [required]

string

A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the certificate. For example, www.example.com or example.com.

ValidationEmails

[string]

A list of email addresses that ACM used to send domain validation emails.

string

The domain name that ACM used to send domain validation emails.

ValidationStatus

string

The validation status of the domain name. This can be one of the following values:

  • PENDING_VALIDATION
    SUCCESS
    FAILED

ResourceRecord

object

Contains the CNAME record that you add to your DNS database for domain validation.
For more information, see Use DNS to Validate Domain Ownership.
Note: The CNAME information that you need does not include the name of your domain. If you include your domain name in the DNS database CNAME record, validation fails. For example, if the name is "_a79865eb4cd1a6ab990a45779b4e0b96.yourdomain.com", only "_a79865eb4cd1a6ab990a45779b4e0b96" must be used.

Name [required]

string

The name of the DNS record to create in your domain. This is supplied by ACM.

Type [required]

string

The type of DNS record. Currently this can be CNAME.

Value [required]

string

The value of the CNAME record to add to your DNS database. This is supplied by ACM.

ValidationMethod

Serial

string

The serial number of the certificate.

Subject

string

The name of the entity that is associated with the public key contained in the certificate.

Status

string

The status of the certificate. A certificate enters status PENDING_VALIDATION upon being requested, unless it fails for any of the reasons given in the troubleshooting topic Certificate request fails. ACM makes repeated attempts to validate a certificate for 72 hours and then times out. If a certificate shows status FAILED or VALIDATION_TIMED_OUT, delete the request, correct the issue with DNS validation or Email validation, and try again. If validation succeeds, the certificate enters status ISSUED.

RevokedAt

date-time

The time at which the certificate was revoked. This value exists only when the certificate status is REVOKED.

RevocationReason

string

The reason the certificate was revoked. This value exists only when the certificate status is REVOKED.
