<p>Revokes a certificate that was issued inside Amazon Web Services Private CA. If you enable a certificate revocation list (CRL) when you create or update your private CA, information about the revoked certificates will be included in the CRL. Amazon Web Services Private CA writes the CRL to an S3 bucket that you specify. A CRL is typically updated approximately 30 minutes after a certificate is revoked. If for any reason the CRL update fails, Amazon Web Services Private CA attempts makes further attempts every 15 minutes. With Amazon CloudWatch, you can create alarms for the metrics <code>CRLGenerated</code> and <code>MisconfiguredCRLBucket</code>. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/privateca/latest/userguide/PcaCloudWatch.html">Supported CloudWatch Metrics</a>.</p> <note> <p>Both Amazon Web Services Private CA and the IAM principal must have permission to write to the S3 bucket that you specify. If the IAM principal making the call does not have permission to write to the bucket, then an exception is thrown. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/privateca/latest/userguide/crl-planning.html#s3-policies">Access policies for CRLs in Amazon S3</a>.</p> </note> <p>Amazon Web Services Private CA also writes revocation information to the audit report. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/privateca/latest/APIReference/API_CreateCertificateAuthorityAuditReport.html">CreateCertificateAuthorityAuditReport</a>.</p> <note> <p>You cannot revoke a root CA self-signed certificate.</p> </note>
