+**Example 1: This example uploads a new X.509 signing certificate and associates it with the IAM user named`Bob`. The file containing the certificate body is PEM encoded. The `CertificateBody` parameter requires the actual contents of the certificate file rather than the file name. You must use the `-Raw` switch parameter to successfully process the file.**
