#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To get details about a server certificate in your AWS account**  
The following `get-server-certificate` command retrieves all of the details about the specified server certificate in your AWS account.  

```
aws iam get-server-certificate \
    --server-certificate-name myUpdatedServerCertificate
```
Output:  

```
