# Use `UploadSigningCertificate` with a CLI
The following code examples show how to use `UploadSigningCertificate`.
------
#### [ CLI ]
**AWS CLI**
**To upload a signing certificate for an IAM user**
The following `upload-signing-certificate` command uploads a signing certificate for the IAM user named `Bob`.
```
aws iam upload-signing-certificate \
--user-name Bob \
--certificate-body file://certificate.pem
```
Output:
```
{
"Certificate": {
"UserName": "Bob",
"Status": "Active",
"CertificateBody": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----------END CERTIFICATE-----",
"CertificateId": "TA7SMP42TDN5Z26OBPJE7EXAMPLE",
"UploadDate": "2013-06-06T21:40:08.121Z"
}
}
```
The certificate is in a file named *certificate.pem* in PEM format.
For more information, see Creating and Uploading a User Signing Certificate in the *Using IAM* guide.
+ For API details, see [UploadSigningCertificate](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/iam/upload-signing-certificate.html) in *AWS CLI Command Reference*.
------
#### [ PowerShell ]
**Tools for PowerShell V4**
**Example 1: This example uploads a new X.509 signing certificate and associates it with the IAM user named `Bob`. The file containing the certificate body is PEM encoded. The `CertificateBody` parameter requires the actual contents of the certificate file rather than the file name. You must use the `-Raw` switch parameter to successfully process the file.**
```
Publish-IAMSigningCertificate -UserName Bob -CertificateBody (Get-Content -Raw SampleSigningCert.pem)
```
**Output:**
```
CertificateBody : -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
