Order Private SSL

POST

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

This page describes products with the private_ssl_certificate group name (see Glossary – Product identifiers).

Use this endpoint to request or renew a private SSL certificate. To renew a certificate, you must place the request from the same account used to order the original certificate.

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

private_ssl_flex – Private SSL OV*
private_ssl_plus – Private SSL Plus Certificate
private_ssl_wildcard – Private SSL Wildcard Certificate
private_ssl_multi_domain – Private SSL Multi Domain Certificate

*The Private SSL OV certificate is a flexible certificate that supports any type of domain configuration. To activate this certificate type 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.

Request parameters

Use the Product list endpoint and locate the allowed_ca_certs array to identify possible ca_cert_id values.

You must provide values for all relevant request parameters, including `certificate.common_name`, `certificate.dns_names`, `certificate.organization_units`, and `organization.id`. If you are requesting a certificate for an organization without an existing ID, you must provide values for all required parameters of the `organization` object.
