**To upload a server certificate to your AWS account**

The following **upload-server-certificate** command uploads a server certificate to your AWS account. In this example, the certificate is in the file ``public_key_cert_file.pem``, the associated private key is in the file ``my_private_key.pem``, and the the certificate chain provided by the certificate authority (CA) is in the ``my_certificate_chain_file.pem`` file. When the file has finished uploading, it is available under the name *myServerCertificate*. Parameters that begin with ``file://`` tells the command to read the contents of the file and use that as the parameter value instead of the file name itself. ::

    aws iam upload-server-certificate --server-certificate-name myServerCertificate --certificate-body file://public_key_cert_file.pem --private-key file://my_private_key.pem --certificate-chain file://my_certificate_chain_file.pem

Output::

    {
        "ServerCertificateMetadata": {
            "Path": "/",
            "ServerCertificateName": "myServerCertificate",
            "ServerCertificateId": "ASCAEXAMPLE123EXAMPLE",
            "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::1234567989012:server-certificate/myServerCertificate",
            "UploadDate": "2019-04-22T21:13:44+00:00",
            "Expiration": "2019-10-15T22:23:16+00:00"
        }
    }
