Updates the status of the specified certificate. This operation is idempotent.
Requires permission to access the UpdateCertificate action.
Certificates must be in the ACTIVE state to authenticate devices that use a certificate to connect to AWS IoT.
Within a few minutes of updating a certificate from the ACTIVE state to any other state, AWS IoT disconnects all devices that used that certificate to connect. Devices cannot use a certificate that is not in the ACTIVE state to reconnect.
