Purchases, applies for, and issues a domain validated (DV) certificate by using a custom certificate signing request (CSR) file. You can use extended certificate services to purchase and apply for a DV certificate with a few clicks.
Operation description
- You can use this operation to apply for only a domain validated (DV) certificate. You cannot use this operation to apply for an organization validated (OV) certificate. We recommend that you use the CreateCertificateForPackageRequest operation to apply for a certificate. You can use the CreateCertificateForPackageRequest operation to apply for certificates of all types and specify the CSR generation method.
- Before you call this operation, make sure that you have purchased a certificate resource plan of the required specifications. For more information about how to purchase a certificate resource plan, see Purchase a certificate resource plan. You can call the DescribePackageState operation to query the usage of a certificate resource plan of specified specifications, including the total number of certificate resource plans that you purchase, the number of certificate applications that you submit, and the number of certificates that are issued.
- When you call this operation, you can use the ProductCode parameter to specify the specifications of the certificate that you want to apply for.
- After you call this operation to submit a certificate application, the certificate quota of the required specifications that you purchased is consumed. After you call this operation, you must call the DescribeCertificateState operation to obtain the information that is required for domain name ownership verification and manually complete the verification. Then, your certificate application is reviewed by the certificate authority (CA). If you use the Domain Name System (DNS) verification method, you must complete the verification on your DNS service provider system. If you use the file verification method, you must complete the verification on the DNS server.
