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 certificate that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the certificate, see Listing Certificates.
      The certificate's details page opens.
    2. Select Edit certificate.
      The Edit certificate panel opens.
    3. Update the description.
    4. Select Update.

  • 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> [OPTIONS]

    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.
