AWS transfer documentation change

Service: transfer · 2025-03-19 · Documentation low

File: transfer/latest/userguide/as2-example-tutorial.md

Summary

Fixed step numbering (renamed Step 3 to Step 2) and removed a note about importing certificates with combined certificate/chain files.

Security assessment

The changes correct procedural steps and remove a certificate import example. While certificate management is security-sensitive, there's no indication this addresses a vulnerability. The removal of the note reduces guidance but doesn't directly relate to a documented security issue.

-
-If you have a file that contains both a certificate and its chain, you can provide that file to the `import-certificate` command using only the `certificate` parameter. For example:
-    
-    
-    aws transfer import-certificate --usage ENCRYPTION --certificate file://combined-cert-and-chain-file.pem
-
-If you use the `certificate` parameter to upload both the certificate and its chain, don't use the `certificate-chain` parameter.
