Use UpdateServerCertificate with an AWS SDK or CLI

To change the path or name of a server certificate in your AWS account

The following update-server-certificate command changes the name of the certificate from myServerCertificate to myUpdatedServerCertificate. It also changes the path to /cloudfront/ so that it can be accessed by the Amazon CloudFront service. This command produces no output. You can see the results of the update by running the list-server-certificates command.

aws-iam update-server-certificate \
    --server-certificate-name myServerCertificate \
    --new-server-certificate-name myUpdatedServerCertificate \
    --new-path /cloudfront/

This command produces no output.

Update a server certificate.

import { UpdateServerCertificateCommand, IAMClient } from "@aws-sdk/client-iam";

const client = new IAMClient({});

/**
 *
 * @param {string} currentName
 * @param {string} newName
 */
export const updateServerCertificate = (currentName, newName) => {
  const command = new UpdateServerCertificateCommand({
    ServerCertificateName: currentName,
    NewServerCertificateName: newName,
  });

  return client.send(command);
};

// Load the AWS SDK for Node.js
var AWS = require("aws-sdk");
// Set the region
AWS.config.update({ region: "REGION" });

// Create the IAM service object
var iam = new AWS.IAM({ apiVersion: "2010-05-08" });

var params = {
  ServerCertificateName: "CERTIFICATE_NAME",
  NewServerCertificateName: "NEW_CERTIFICATE_NAME",
};

iam.updateServerCertificate(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) {
    console.log("Error", err);
  } else {
    console.log("Success", data);
  }
});

Example 1: This example renames the certificate named MyServerCertificate to MyRenamedServerCertificate.

Update-IAMServerCertificate -ServerCertificateName MyServerCertificate -NewServerCertificateName MyRenamedServerCertificate

Example 2: This example moves the certificate named MyServerCertificate to the path /Org1/Org2/. This changes the ARN for the resource to arn:aws:iam::123456789012:server-certificate/Org1/Org2/MyServerCertificate.

Update-IAMServerCertificate -ServerCertificateName MyServerCertificate -NewPath /Org1/Org2/
