name : upload-server-certificate.rst **To upload a server certificate to your AWS account** The following **upload-server-certificate** command uploads a server certificate to your AWS account. In this example, the certificate is in the file ``public_key_cert_file.pem``, the associated private key is in the file ``my_private_key.pem``, and the the certificate chain provided by the certificate authority (CA) is in the ``my_certificate_chain_file.pem`` file. When the file has finished uploading, it is available under the name *myServerCertificate*. Parameters that begin with ``file://`` tells the command to read the contents of the file and use that as the parameter value instead of the file name itself. :: aws iam upload-server-certificate \ --server-certificate-name myServerCertificate \ --certificate-body file://public_key_cert_file.pem \ --private-key file://my_private_key.pem \ --certificate-chain file://my_certificate_chain_file.pem Output:: { "ServerCertificateMetadata": { "Path": "/", "ServerCertificateName": "myServerCertificate", "ServerCertificateId": "ASCAEXAMPLE123EXAMPLE", "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::1234567989012:server-certificate/myServerCertificate", "UploadDate": "2019-04-22T21:13:44+00:00", "Expiration": "2019-10-15T22:23:16+00:00" } } For more information, see `Creating, Uploading, and Deleting Server Certificates`__ in the *Using IAM* guide. .. _`Creating, Uploading, and Deleting Server Certificates`: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/InstallCert.html
