# Certificate Authority (CA) - Connect HTTP API
The `/connect/ca` endpoints provide tools for interacting with Connect's
Certificate Authority mechanism.
## List CA Root Certificates
This endpoint returns the current list of trusted CA root certificates in
the cluster.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | ------------------- | ------------------ |
| `GET` | `/connect/ca/roots` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking),
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency),
[agent caching](/api/features/caching), and
[required ACLs](/api#authentication).
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ------------ |
| `YES` | `all` | `none` | `none` |
### Parameters
- `pem` `(boolean: false)` - Specifies that the return body should be a PEM encoded
certificate chain suitable for use by applications needing to trust Connect CA
signed certificates. The Content-Type will be set to `application/pem-certificate-chain`
to indicate the format of the response.
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/connect/ca/roots

## Get CA Configuration
This endpoint returns the current CA configuration.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | --------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `GET` | `/connect/ca/configuration` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking),
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency),
[agent caching](/api/features/caching), and
[required ACLs](/api#authentication).
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ----------------------------- |
| `YES` | `all` | `none` | `operator:write` <sup>1</sup> |
<sup>1</sup> ACL required was <code>operator:read</code> prior to versions 1.8.6,
1.7.10, and 1.6.10.
The corresponding CLI command is [`consul connect ca get-config`](/commands/connect/ca#get-config).
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/connect/ca/configuration
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"Provider": "consul",
"Config": {
"LeafCertTTL": "72h",
"IntermediateCertTTL": "8760h"
},
"CreateIndex": 5,
"ModifyIndex": 5
}
```
## Update CA Configuration
This endpoint updates the configuration for the CA. If this results in a
new root certificate being used, the [Root Rotation](/docs/connect/ca#root-certificate-rotation) process will be triggered.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------ | --------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `PUT` | `/connect/ca/configuration` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking),
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency),
[agent caching](/api/features/caching), and
[required ACLs](/api#authentication).
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | Agent Caching | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------- | ---------------- |
| `NO` | `none` | `none` | `operator:write` |
The corresponding CLI command is [`consul connect ca set-config`](/commands/connect/ca#set-config).
### Parameters
- `Provider` `(string: <required>)` - Specifies the CA provider type to use.
- `Config` `(map[string]string: <required>)` - The raw configuration to use
for the chosen provider. For more information on configuring the Connect CA
providers, see [Provider Config](/docs/connect/ca).
- `ForceWithoutCrossSigning` `(bool: <optional>)` - Indicates that the CA change
should be forced to complete even if the current CA doesn't support cross
signing. Changing root without cross-signing may cause temporary connection
failures until the rollout completes. See [Forced Rotation Without
Cross-Signing](/docs/connect/ca#forced-rotation-without-cross-signing)
for more detail.
### Sample Payload
```json
{
"Provider": "consul",
"Config": {
"LeafCertTTL": "72h",
"PrivateKey": "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----...",
"RootCert": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----...",
"IntermediateCertTTL": "8760h"
},
"ForceWithoutCrossSigning": false
}
```
### Sample Request
```shell-session
$ curl \
--request PUT \
--data @payload.json \
http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/connect/ca/configuration
```
