class Aws::ACMPCA::Types::Validity

Validity specifies the period of time during which a certificate is valid. Validity can be expressed as an explicit date and time when the validity of a certificate starts or expires, or as a span of time after issuance, stated in days, months, or years. For more information, see [Validity] in RFC 5280.

ACM Private CA API consumes the `Validity` data type differently in two distinct parameters of the `IssueCertificate` action. The required parameter `IssueCertificate`:`Validity` specifies the end of a certificate's validity period. The optional parameter `IssueCertificate`:`ValidityNotBefore` specifies a customized starting time for the validity period.

@note When making an API call, you may pass Validity

data as a hash:

    {
      value: 1, # required
      type: "END_DATE", # required, accepts END_DATE, ABSOLUTE, DAYS, MONTHS, YEARS
    }

@!attribute [rw] value

A long integer interpreted according to the value of `Type`, below.
@return [Integer]

@!attribute [rw] type

Determines how *ACM Private CA* interprets the `Value` parameter, an
integer. Supported validity types include those listed below. Type
definitions with values include a sample input value and the
resulting output.

`END_DATE`\: The specific date and time when the certificate will
expire, expressed using UTCTime (YYMMDDHHMMSS) or GeneralizedTime
(YYYYMMDDHHMMSS) format. When UTCTime is used, if the year field
(YY) is greater than or equal to 50, the year is interpreted as
19YY. If the year field is less than 50, the year is interpreted as
20YY.

* Sample input value: 491231235959 (UTCTime format)

* Output expiration date/time: 12/31/2049 23:59:59

`ABSOLUTE`\: The specific date and time when the validity of a
certificate will start or expire, expressed in seconds since the
Unix Epoch.

* Sample input value: 2524608000

* Output expiration date/time: 01/01/2050 00:00:00

`DAYS`, `MONTHS`, `YEARS`\: The relative time from the moment of
issuance until the certificate will expire, expressed in days,
months, or years.

Example if `DAYS`, issued on 10/12/2020 at 12:34:54 UTC:

* Sample input value: 90

* Output expiration date: 01/10/2020 12:34:54 UTC

The minimum validity duration for a certificate using relative time
(`DAYS`) is one day. The minimum validity for a certificate using
absolute time (`ABSOLUTE` or `END_DATE`) is one second.
