Provisioning methods

If you provision a code signing certificate using email or client_app, you must have a supported hardware token or a FIPS 140-2+ Level 2 or Common Criteria EAL4+ compliant HSM that supports ECC P-256 or RSA 3072-bit key sizes or larger. If you don't have a compatible hardware token or HSM, you will not be able to install the certificate on your device.

Method Description
email DigiCert emails the certificate to you.
Install the certificate on your own supported hardware token or HSM device.
ship_token DigiCert installs the certificate on a certified hardware token and ships the token to the address provided.
client_app Use the DigiCert Certificate Utility to install the certificate on an existing DigiCert provided, certified token.

ssl_certificate Required for all orders.
dv_ssl_certificate Required for all orders.
client_certificate Optional for all orders.
code_signing_certificate Required for these uses:CSRs for code signing certificates must be ECC P-256 or RSA 3072-bit key sizes or larger.

Method Description
email DigiCert sends domain validation emails to the following email addresses:
  • Contacts listed in the WHOIS for the domain
  • Default domain contacts
  • Validation contacts found in the DNS TXT record for the domain
dns-cname-token Create a DNS CNAME record for the domain that contains a random value.
Note: This method cannot be used to demonstrate control over the domains on DV certificate requests.
http-token Add a file that contains a random value and make it publicly available on the domain.
dns-txt-token Create a DNS TXT record for the domain that contains a random value.

Hash types

ID Name
sha256 SHA-256
sha384 SHA-384

302 Moved Temporarily: Returned in the unlikely event that a URL has changed temporarily. Will also return a LOCATION header with new URL. Clients should resubmit this single request to this new URL
304 Content not modified: Useful when accessing a URL while waiting for a response. Only used if an IF-NONE-MATCH header was passed
400 General client error
401 Unauthorized: Returned if the page is accessed without a valid API Key
403 User doesn't have permission to perform the requested action
404 Returned if the page doesn't exist or the API doesn't have permission to interact with a particular item
406 If the client doesn't specify a valid acceptable content-type
