Ordina Secure Site SSL

POST

https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/order/certificate/{{ssl_certificate_id}}

End of 2-year public SSL/TLS certificates

The Services API no longer issues public SSL/TLS certificates with a validity period greater than 397 days. Requests for public SSL/TLS certificates that specify an order validity greater than 1 year (or 397 days) create a new Multi-year Plan. To learn more about this change, see End of 2-year DV, OV, and EV public SSL/TLS certificates.

Use this endpoint to request or renew an OV/EV Secure Site SSL certificate. To renew a certificate, you must place the request from the same account used to order the original certificate.

Replace {{ssl_certificate_id}} in the URL with the product identifier for the type of certificate to order:

ssl_ev_securesite – Secure Site EV SSL
ssl_ev_securesite_multi_domain – Secure Site EV Multi-Domain SSL
ssl_securesite – Secure Site SSL
ssl_securesite_multi_domain – Secure Site Multi-Domain SSL
ssl_securesite_wildcard – Secure Site Wildcard SSL

Public TLS/SSL certificates support Multi-year Plans. With Multi-year Plans, you pick the SSL/TLS certificate, the certificate validity period, and the duration of coverage you want. To order a Multi-year Plan with this endpoint, use the order_validity object to set the validity period of the order (up to six years). Optionally, use the certificate.cert_validity parameter to customize the validity of the first certificate issued for the order. For more information, see Multi-year Plans.

Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) and Flat Fee contracts only support 1- and 2-year Multi-year Plans.

In addition to these products, DigiCert offers flexible certificates that support any type of domain configuration. You can order flexible Secure Site certificates with the Order Secure Site OV and Order Secure Site EV endpoints. To activate these certificates for your CertCentral account, contact your account manager or our Support team. For more information, see Flex certificates.

You can only order certificates that are enabled for your account. Use the Product list endpoint to get the list of products available for your account.

serial_number	optional	string	Serial number of the non-DigiCert certificate for which you expect to receive a competitive replacement discount when you place the order. If not provided, we use the information from your order request to look for a match among certificates on the CT log servers, and we apply a discount based on the best match we can find.
auto_renew	optional	int	Specify if the certificate should automatically renew. Allowed values: `0` (disabled) or `1` (enabled) Default: `0`
auto_reissue	optional	int	Auto-reissue setting for the order. When auto-reissue is enabled for a Multi-year Plan, DigiCert automatically creates a reissue request for the most recently issued certificate when that certificate is within 30 days of expiring. Auto-reissue repeats until the order expires. To learn more about reissuing certificates in a Multi-year Plan, see Multi-year Plans. Allowed values: `0` (disabled) or `1` (enabled) Default: `0` (disabled) Note: We ignore the `auto_reissue` request parameter if: The product does not support Multi-year Plans.

skip_approval	optional	bool	Specify if the order should skip the approval step and be immediately submitted for validation and issued when complete. Default: `false`
disable_ct	optional	bool	Specify if CT logging for the certificate should be disabled. Order-specific CT logging must be enabled or this will be ignored. See Allow Users to Keep Certificates Out of CT Logs. Default: `false`
organization	required	object	Object with information about the organization to associate with the request. You can associate the request with an existing organization, or you can create a new organization when you submit the order request. To associate the request with an existing organization, pass the ID of the organization as the value of `organization.id` in the body of your request. To create a new organization, include the details of the organization in the `organization` object. For more information about the structure and required parameters of the `organization` object, see the Create organization documentation. Note: When you submit an order with organization details instead of providing an organization ID, we check the organizations that already exist in your account to avoid creating a duplicate. If we find one matching organization, we automatically associate the order with that organization instead of creating a new one. If we find two or more matching organizations, we automatically associate the order with the oldest matching organization in your account instead of creating a new one. To override this behavior and force the request to create a new organization, set the `organization.skip_duplicate_org_check` parameter to `true` in the body of your request. Important: When you want to associate an order with an existing organization, we recommend always using the ID of the organization instead of the organization's details in the body of your request. To get the ID values for organizations in your account, use the List organizations endpoint. Additionally, we recommend deactivating unused organizations to ensure they are never accidentally assigned to a new order request. To deactivate an organization, use the Deactivate organization endpoint.
.. id	required*	int	The ID of an existing organization to associate with the order. To get the ID of organizations in your account, use the List organizations endpoint. *Not required if you are creating a new organization with your request.
.. skip_duplicate_org_check	optional	bool	Use `true` to skip the check for duplicate organizations in your account. When you skip this check, you force the request to create a new organization, regardless of whether the details you provide in the request match the details of an organization that already exists in your account. Default: `false`
container	optional	object	If needed, specify the container the order should be placed under.
.. id	required	int	Container ID.
custom_fields	optional*	array	Account-specific custom fields. *Whether or not these fields are required depends on your custom field settings.
.. metadata_id	required	int	Custom field ID.
.. value	required	string	Value for the custom field. Data validation type depends on your custom field settings.
alternative_order_id	optional	string	A custom alphanumeric ID to assign the order. To see the `alternative_order_id` assigned to an order, use the Order info endpoint. Alternative order IDs do not replace the unique order ID that DigiCert assigns each order request. You cannot use alternative order IDs to search for or identify orders in API calls that require an `order_id` parameter in the URL path or request body. If the Require unique alternative order IDs option is enabled in your account settings, you cannot submit order requests with an alternative order ID that is already assigned to an order in your account. Use this feature to enable nonce order requests, or to prevent your integration from creating duplicate orders in cases where you do not receive a response from the API. Account administrators can toggle this option from the CertCentral console. From the Settings > Preferences page, open the Advanced Settings menu, and look for the Alternative order ID option. This parameter is always optional, even if the Require unique alternative order IDs option is enabled in your account. If a request does not use this parameter, no `alternative_order_id` value is assigned to the order. Maximum length: 64 characters Note: The Require unique alternative order IDs option may not appear in the advanced settings menu for all CertCentral accounts. To enable this option for your account, contact your account manager or our Support team.
enable_guest_access	optional	int	Whether to enable guest access for the order. This parameter is not allowed if guest access is disabled in your account settings. Allowed values: `1` (enabled) or `0` (disabled) Default: The default configuration for new orders is determined by your account settings. Account administrators can change these settings from the Guest Access page in the CertCentral console.

Response parameters

Name	Type	Description
id	int	Order ID.
organization	object	Container for new organization details. Only returned if a new organization was created with the order.
.. id	int	Organization ID for the new organization.
domains	array	List of objects with details about the domains in your account that are submitted for validation with the certificate order request. You must have an active validation for the domains in this array to prove you control the common name and each SAN on the order.
.. id	int	Domain ID of the domain in your account.
.. name	int	Name of the domain in your account.
.. dns_name	string	Common name or SAN on the order. To prove you control this domain, you must have an active validation for the domain associated with the `domains[].name` and `domains[].id` key/value pairs.
.. dcv_token	object	Object with details about the domain control validation (DCV) token for the domain. Not returned when using email as the DCV method. Note: The `dcv_token` object is not returned for domains that will be validated under the scope of another domain on the order, for domains that already exist in your account, or for subdomains of existing domains. For example, if you request a certificate to secure the newly created domains `example.com`, `www.example.com`, and `subdomain.example.com`, the response only includes a `dcv_token` object for `example.com`. To get the DCV token for an existing domain, use the Domain info endpoint.
.. .. token	string	Random value used to prove control over the domain.
.. .. status	string	Status of the domain validation process.
.. .. expiration_date	string	Timestamp of when the token will expire. Format: UTC timezone and ISO 8601 date
.. .. verification_value	string	Value for the DNS record target host field. Only returned if the DCV method is `dns-cname-token`.
.. .. http_token_url	string	Filename and location for the .txt file. Only returned if the DCV method is `http-token`.
requests	array	Contains information about the request.

The first object in the array contains the end-entity certificate. The next objects contain the intermediate CA certificates. The final object contains the root certificate. Each certificate is signed by the certificate in the object that follows it. For example, the end-entity certificate is signed by the intermediate CA certificate. Note: This endpoint only returns the `certificate_chain` array for TLS certificates that DigiCert issues immediately. To get the certificate chain after DigiCert issues a certificate, use the Certificate chain endpoint.
.. subject_common_name	string	Common name on the certificate.
.. pem	string	PEM-encoded certificate data.
