Methods

backupCertificate(string, OperationOptions)

Requests that a backup of the specified certificate be downloaded to the client. All versions of the certificate will be downloaded. This operation requires the certificates/backup permission.

Example usage:

const client = new CertificateClient(url, credentials);
await client.beginCreateCertificate("MyCertificate", {
  issuerName: "Self",
  subject: "cn=MyCert"
});
const backup = await client.backupCertificate("MyCertificate");

Generates a backup of a certificate
beginCreateCertificate(string, CertificatePolicy, BeginCreateCertificateOptions)

Creates a new certificate. If this is the first version, the certificate resource is created. This function returns a Long Running Operation poller that allows you to wait indefinitely until the certificate is fully recovered.

Note: Sending Self as the issuerName of the certificate's policy will create a self-signed certificate.

This operation requires the certificates/create permission.

Example usage:

const client = new CertificateClient(url, credentials);
const certificatePolicy = {
  issuerName: "Self",
  subject: "cn=MyCert"
};
const createPoller = await client.beginCreateCertificate("MyCertificate", certificatePolicy);

// The pending certificate can be obtained by calling the following method:
const pendingCertificate = createPoller.getResult();

// Serializing the poller
const serialized = createPoller.toString();

// A new poller can be created with:
// const newPoller = await client.beginCreateCertificate("MyCertificate", certificatePolicy, { resumeFrom: serialized });

// Waiting until it's done
const certificate = await createPoller.pollUntilDone();
console.log(certificate);
