Editing a Certificate

Edit a certificate to update its description.

This topic describes only how to update a certificate's description. For information about how to update a certificate's rules, see Editing Certificate Rules. Or, if you issued and manage a certificate internally, you can update a certificate version number in one of two ways. You can renew a certificate to create a new certificate version or you can make an existing certificate version the current certificate version. For more information, see Renewing a Certificate or Making a Certificate Version Current.

  • From the Console, the only certificate property that you can edit is the certificate description.

    1. On the Certificates list page, select the name of the certificate that you want to update. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing Certificates.

      To find a certificate in a different compartment, under List scope, select a different compartment.

    2. Select Edit Certificate.
    3. Update the existing description, and then select Edit. (Avoid entering confidential information.)

  • Use the oci certs-mgmt certificate update command and required parameters to update a certificate description:

    oci certs-mgmt certificate update --certificate-id <certificate_OCID> --description <new_description>

    For example:

    oci certs-mgmt certificate update --certificate-id ocid1.certificate.oc1.<region>.<unique_ID> --description "new certificate description"

    For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the UpdateCertificate operation to update a certificate description.
