#### [ CLI ]

**AWS 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.  
For more information, see [Managing server certificates in IAM](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_server-certs.html) in the *AWS IAM User Guide*.

#### [ PowerShell ]

**Tools for PowerShell V4**  
**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/
```
+  For API details, see [UpdateServerCertificate](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/v4/reference) in *AWS Tools for PowerShell Cmdlet Reference (V4)*. 

**Tools for PowerShell V5**  
**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`.**
