Submits a certificate application.
Operation description
- 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.
- After you call this operation to submit a certificate application and the certificate is issued, the certificate quota provided by the resource plan that you purchased is consumed. 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, you also need to 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.

Authorization information
Request parameters
Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
Csr | string | No | The content of the certificate signing request (CSR) file that is manually generated by using OpenSSL or Keytool for the domain name. The key algorithm in the CSR file must be Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) or elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC), and the key length of the RSA algorithm must be greater than or equal to 2,048 characters. For more information about how to create a CSR file, see Create a CSR file. If you do not specify this parameter, Certificate Management Service automatically creates a CSR file. A CSR file contains the information about your server and company. When you apply for a certificate, you must submit the CSR file to the CA. The CA signs the CSR file by using the private key of the root certificate and generates a public key file to issue your certificate. Note
The **CN** field in CSR file specifies the domain name that is bound to the certificate. You must include the field in the parameter value.

string | No | The email address of the applicant. After the CA receives your certificate application, the CA sends a verification email to the email address that you specify. You must log on to the mailbox, open the mail, and complete the verification of the domain name ownership based on the steps that are described in the email. If you do not specify this parameter, the information about the most recent contact that is added to the Information Management module is used. For more information about how to add a contact to the Information Management module, see Manage contacts. | username@example.com | |
Domain | string | No | The domain name that you want to bind to the certificate. The domain name must meet the following requirements:
Note
If you want to bind multiple domain names to the certificate, you must specify this parameter. You must specify at least one of the Domain parameter and the **Csr** parameter. If you specify both the Domain parameter and the **Csr** parameter, the value of the **CN** field in the **Csr** parameter is used as the domain name that is bound to the certificate.
