GET Certificates ID
The GET /Certificates/{id} operation returns details for the certificate with the specified ID. On success, the operation returns HTTP 200 OK with certificate details.
Permissions for certificates can be set at the system-wide or resource-specific level. The appropriate level depends on how the certificates are accessed. See Certificate Collection
The certificate search function allows you to query the Keyfactor Command database for certificates from any available source based on any criteria of the certificates and save the results as a collection that will be available in other places in the Management Portal (for example expiration alerts and certain reports). Permissions
In permission strings, # represents a specific resource identifier. In /certificates/collections/ permission strings it refers to a certificate collection ID (for example, CollectionId) and in /certificate_stores/ permission strings it refers to a certificate store application ID (for example, containerId).
Table 280: GET Certificates {id} Input Parameters
| Name | In | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id | Path | Required. An integer indicating the Keyfactor Command reference ID of the certificate. Use the GET Certificates operation to retrieve a list of multiple certificates to determine the desired certificate's ID. |
| includeLocations | Query | A Boolean that sets whether to include the Locations data in the response (True or False). If False is selected, the LocationsCount and Locations fields will still appear in the response, but they will contain no data. The default is False. |
| includeMetadata | Query | A Boolean that sets whether to include the Metadata data in the response (True or False). If False is selected, the Metadata field will still appear in the response, but it will contain no data. The default is False. |
| CollectionId | Query |
An optional integer that specifies the certificate collection (CollectionId) to validate whether the user has sufficient permissions to perform the action. If a CollectionId is not provided, the user must have appropriate permissions granted system-wide or via certificate store applications. Providing a CollectionId allows the system to check the user's permissions at the certificate collection level. Permissions are evaluated in the following order:
Use either ContainerId or CollectionId, not both. See Certificate Collection Permissions for more information. |
| ContainerId | Query |
An optional integer that specifies the certificate store application (ContainerId) to validate whether the user has sufficient permissions to perform the action. If a ContainerId is not provided, the user must have appropriate permissions granted system-wide or via certificate collections. Providing a ContainerId allows the system to check the user's permissions at the application level. Permissions are evaluated in the following order:
Use either ContainerId or CollectionId, not both. See Application Permissions for more information. |
Table 281: GET Certificates {id} Response Data
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| AltKeySizeInBits | An integer specifying the alternative key size in bits. |
| AltKeyType |
This is considered deprecated and may be removed in a future release. See AltKeyAlgorithm. |
| AltKeyAlgorithm | A string containing the OID in the format Friendly Name (OID). For a full list of supported key algorithms in Keyfactor Command, see Algorithms and Key Types. |
| AltKeyTypeString |
A string containing the alternative key type description (for example, ML-DSA-44). For a full list of supported key algorithms in Keyfactor Command, see Algorithms and Key Types. |
| AltSigningAlgorithm |
A string indicating the signing algorithm used by the CA to generate the alternative signature. For a full list of supported key algorithms in Keyfactor Command, see Algorithms and Key Types. |
| ArchivedKey | A Boolean that indicates whether the certificate has a key archived in the issuing CA (True or False). |
| CARecordId | A string containing the CA's reference ID for certificate. |
| CARowIndex |
An integer containing the CA's reference ID for certificate. Note: The CARowIndex has been replaced by CARecordId, but will remain for backward compatibility. It will only contain a non-zero value for certificates issued by Microsoft CAs. For Microsoft CA certificates, the CARowIndex will be equal to the CARecordId value parsed to an integer.
|
| CertificateAuthorityId | An integer indicating the Keyfactor Command reference ID of the certificate authority that issued the certificate. |
| CertificateAuthorityName | A string indicating the certificate authority that issued the certificate. |
| CertRequestId | An integer containing the Keyfactor Command reference ID of the certificate request. |
| CertState |
An integer specifying the state of the certificate. |
| CertStateString | A string containing the certificate state. The possible values are (see descriptions under CertState):
|
| CertStoreTypeShortNames | An array of comma-separated strings indicating the certificate stores types associated with each certificate. |
| ContentBytes | A string containing the certificate as bytes. |
| CRLDistributionPoints |
An array of objects containing the distribution points for the certificate revocation lists the certificate could be in. |
| Curve |
A string indicating the OID of the elliptic curve algorithm configured for the certificate, for ECC templates. Well-known OIDs include:
|
| DetailedKeyUsage |
An object containing details of the key usage configured for the certificate. |
| EnrollmentPatternId | An integer indicating the enrollment pattern used for the certificate. |
| ExtendedKeyUsages |
An array of objects containing the extended key usages associated with the certificate. |
| HasAltPrivateKey | A Boolean that indicates whether the certificate has an alternative private key stored in Keyfactor Command (True or False). |
| HasPrivateKey | A Boolean that indicates whether the certificate has a private key stored in Keyfactor Command (True or False). |
| Id |
An integer indicating the Keyfactor Command reference ID of the certificate. Tip: Certificate Id and Keyfactor Id both refer to the same value—the Keyfactor Command–assigned reference ID for a certificate. You may see either name in different parts of the Management Portal or Keyfactor API because Certificate Id was the original term, and Keyfactor Id is its newer replacement. The updated name helps avoid confusion with a different value—the certificate’s identifier on the issuing CA—which is now called the CA Record ID.
|
| ImportDate | The date, in UTC, on which the certificate was imported into Keyfactor Command. |
| IsCACertificate | A Boolean that indicates whether the certificate is a CA certificate (True), or (False). It is only included in GET /Certificates/{id} (not GET /Certificates ). Returned for all certificates. |
