Signing a CSR using Private CA

Question

I wants to use ACM Private CA to sign CSR's. In one workflow, I want to generate certificates from the CA to install on devices. In an alternate workflow, I want to generate a CSR on the device, sign it with the CA, and install the certificate back on the device.

I see references to "signing a CSR" in other posts, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Here is a quick link to the document. The command that you are looking for is "issue-certificate"
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/acm-pca/issue-certificate.html

issue-certificate
    --certificate-authority-arn 
    --csr 
    --signing-algorithm 
    [--template-arn ]
    --validity 
    [--idempotency-token ]
    [--cli-input-json ]
    [--generate-cli-skeleton ]

The example of the command is:

aws acm-pca issue-certificate --certificate-authority-arn  “arn:aws:acm-pca:us-east-...” --csr file://csr_in_pem_format.csr --signing-algorithm SHA384WITHECDSA --template-arn arn:aws:acm-pca:::template/EndEntityCertificate/V1 --validity Value=9,Type="YEARS" --idempotency-token 1234

The token is used to ensure that multiple identical calls within short time period are ignored.
Note : Validity needs to of a shorter value than the signing CA
