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. On the Certificate Authorities list page, select the name of the CA that you want to view. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing Certificate Authorities.

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

    2. 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      • Date of Expiry of Current Version: The date and time when the version marked as the current version is no longer valid.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.
