AWS Certification Manager ExportCertificateAsync throws error and says cert arn is not a private certificate

Question

Dear Sir/Madam
I imported third party certificate through ACM Dashboard successfully by giving certificate, private key and chain. However, when I try to export the certificate in my application using "ExportCertificateAsync" method, it fails. It says that "certificate arn is not a private certificate"
Could you explain why I am getting this?
Thank you

Answer

Thanks for the clear description.

It is not possible to export public certificates whether ACM-issued or imported. The referenced `ExportCertificate` is for private certificates issued by Private CA as documented in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/export-private.html.
