Use this endpoint to create an AuthKey (without a validity period) for your DigiCert CertCentral® account. The same AuthKey can be used for all your DV certificate orders.
Notice
If you attempt to create an AuthKey (without a validity period) and an AuthKey is already in use, a 400 Bad Request
is returned with the auth_key_exists_for_account
error.
Additionally, you can create AuthKeys with a defined validity period, often referred to as Time-to-Live (TTL) AuthKeys. It is possible to create multiple such AuthKeys, with a minimum validity of 1 day and no upper limit on the maximum duration. To create TTL AuthKeys, use the following method and URL:
