atlas dbusers certs create

Create a new Atlas-managed X.509 certificate for the specified database user.

Public Preview: The atlas api sub-command, automatically generated from the MongoDB Atlas Admin API, offers full coverage of the Admin API and is currently in Public Preview (please provide feedback at https://feedback.mongodb.com/forums/930808-atlas-cli). Admin API capabilities have their own release lifecycle, which you can check via the provided API endpoint documentation link.

The user you specify must authenticate using X.509 certificates. You can't use this command to create certificates if you are managing your own Certificate Authority (CA) in self-managed X.509 mode.
