aws_iam_server_certificate

Provides an IAM Server Certificate resource to upload Server Certificates. Certs uploaded to IAM can easily work with other AWS services such as:

  • AWS Elastic Beanstalk
  • Elastic Load Balancing
  • CloudFront
  • AWS OpsWorks

For information about server certificates in IAM, see Managing Server Certificates in AWS Documentation.

Example Usage

Using certs on file:

resource "aws_iam_server_certificate" "test_cert" {
  name             = "some_test_cert"
  certificate_body = "${file("self-ca-cert.pem")}"
  private_key      = "${file("test-key.pem")}"
}

Example with cert in-line:

resource "aws_iam_server_certificate" "test_cert_alt" {
  name = "alt_test_cert"

  certificate_body = <<EOF
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[......] # cert contents
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
EOF

  private_key = <<EOF
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
[......] # cert contents
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
EOF
}

Use in combination with an AWS ELB resource:

Some properties of an IAM Server Certificates cannot be updated while they are in use. In order for Terraform to effectively manage a Certificate in this situation, it is recommended you utilize the name_prefix attribute and enable the create_before_destroy lifecycle block. This will allow Terraform to create a new, updated aws_iam_server_certificate resource and replace it in dependant resources before attempting to destroy the old version.

resource "aws_iam_server_certificate" "test_cert" {
  name_prefix      = "example-cert"
  certificate_body = "${file("self-ca-cert.pem")}"
  private_key      = "${file("test-key.pem")}"

  lifecycle {
    create_before_destroy = true
  }
}

resource "aws_elb" "ourapp" {
  name                      = "terraform-asg-deployment-example"
  availability_zones        = ["us-west-2a"]
  cross_zone_load_balancing = true

  listener {
    instance_port      = 8000
    instance_protocol  = "http"
    lb_port            = 443
    lb_protocol        = "https"
    ssl_certificate_id = "${aws_iam_server_certificate.test_cert.arn}"
  }
}

Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • name - (Optional) The name of the Server Certificate. Do not include the path in this value. If omitted, Terraform will assign a random, unique name.
  • name_prefix - (Optional) Creates a unique name beginning with the specified prefix. Conflicts with name.
  • certificate_body – (Required) The contents of the public key certificate in PEM-encoded format.
  • certificate_chain – (Optional) The contents of the certificate chain. This is typically a concatenation of the PEM-encoded public key certificates of the chain.
  • private_key – (Required) The contents of the private key in PEM-encoded format.
  • path - (Optional) The IAM path for the server certificate. If it is not included, it defaults to a slash (/). If this certificate is for use with AWS CloudFront, the path must be in format /cloudfront/your_path_here. See IAM Identifiers for more details on IAM Paths.

Attributes Reference

  • id - The unique Server Certificate name
  • name - The name of the Server Certificate
  • arn - The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) specifying the server certificate.

Import

IAM Server Certificates can be imported using the name, e.g.

$ terraform import aws_iam_server_certificate.certificate example.com-certificate-until-2018
