After creating your DigiCert CertCentral API Key and gathering your Organization ID and CertCentral Account ID, you can begin ordering your DigiCert SSL/TLS certificates from your Azure Key Vault account.
To order your certificates, use Azure PowerShell version 2.1.0. If you don’t have this version of PowerShell, you can access it here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/releases/tag/v2.1.0-September2016.
If you run into problems while running these Azure PowerShell commands, contact your Microsoft account representative.
The Azure Key Vault to CertCentral integration only supports ordering SSL/TLS certificates.
The variables in these instructions have been assigned sample values for use as reference. Please change the values appropriately.
