getting a certificate in the correct format

[kangman]

Description

Right now I can get the certification like so aws iam get-server-certificate --server-certificate-name certificateName

would like to be able to grab the cert without having to use openssl to -text -noout

the work flow now I have is to format the query

aws iam get-server-certificate --server-certificate-name certificateName --query "ServerCertificate.CertificateBody" | awk 'gsub(/"/,"",s); {gsub(/\\n/,"\n")}1' > cert.crt

then use openssl x509 -in cert.cert -text -noout

Marking as a feature request. In the meantime, you can use --output text to remove the need for the awk command:

$ aws iam get-server-certificate \
        --server-certificate-name certificateName \
        --query ServerCertificate.CertificateBody \
        --output text | openssl x509 -text -noout
