AWS ACM able to download certificate, certificate chain and public key

[kderck]

Dear AWS,

I would like be able to download certificate, a certificate chain, and public key from AWS Certificate Manager from the Public Certificate Authority. I understand that you can download the certificate with aws acm --get-certificate arn and than you can extract from stdout. However, I find this solution is prone to mistakes, and to get the public key I also need to extract from the certificate.

Hi @kderck thanks for reaching out. Would the export-certificate command accomplish what you’re trying to do?

[kderck]

No as this is for Private ACM. We have a Public ACM that we want to easily be able to export certificates without having to wrangle with json and piping output.

Hi @kderck thanks for following up. The ACM documentation notes:

It is not possible to export public certificates whether they are ACM-issued or imported.

Also this is a service API request and not specific to the CLI. I’ll transfer this issue to our shared SDK repository and reach out to the ACM team to get their thoughts. If they can't consider this feature request maybe they can provide more context for why that is the case.
