When you submit a certificate application, you must specify a contact so that the certificate authority (CA) staff can contact you to review and approve your certificate application. The contact can also be used for receiving certificate-related notifications and communicating with technical support. This topic describes how to create, modify, and delete a contact.
Create a contact
