Viewing Certificate Authority Details

View certificate authority (CA) details to learn more about a given CA.

Viewing CA details can help you understand the current overall state of a CA and help you decide what to do with it.

    1. Open the navigation menu and click Identity & Security.
    2. Under Certificates, click Certificate Authorities.
    3. From the list of CAs in the compartment, click the name of the CA that you want to view.

      To find a CA in a different compartment, under List scope, choose a different compartment.

    4. The Console displays the following information:
      • OCID: The unique, Oracle-assigned ID of the CA.
      • Key OCID: The unique, Oracle-assigned ID of the key pair that you specified when you created the CA.
      • Created: The date and time when you initially created the certificate.
      • Signature Algorithm: The signature algorithm of the CA certificate key.
      • Certificate Authority Type: Whether the CA is a root CA or a subordinate CA.
      • Compartment: The name of the compartment that contains the certificate.
      • Date of Expiry of Current Version: The date and time when the version marked as the current version is no longer valid.
      You can also see the certificates and subordinate certificate authorities issued by the CA.

  • Use the oci certs-mgmt certificate-authority get command and required parameters to view a CA's details:

    oci certs-mgmt certificate-authority get --certificate-authority-id <CA_OCID>

    For example:

    oci certs-mgmt certificate-authority get --certificate-authority-id ocid1.certificateauthority.oc1.<region>.<unique_id>

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the GetCertificateAuthority operation to view CA details.
