Certificate installation on Amazon Web Services (AWS) console:

In order to install your certificate via AWS IAM (Identity Access Management) you'll have to:

• Convert your certificate, the certification chain, and the private key in PEM format, if required.

To convert the certificate in the PEM file format.

• Open the certificate in a notepad file and save it with the extension .pem

Upload your certificate into IAM

• Upload your certificate into IAM with the following command:

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

• The certificate is in the file public_key_cert_file.pem
• Your private key is in the filemy_private_key.pem.
• When the file has finished uploading, it is available under the name myServerCertificate.
• The certificate chain provided by the certificate authority (CA) is included as themy_certificate_chain_file.pem file.

Note that the parameters that contain file names are preceded with file://. This tells the command that the parameter value is a file name. You can include a complete path following file://.
