What can I do?
- Update allowlists and email filters
By September 13, 2020, update IP address allowlists and email filters to ensure you don't miss important emails and to keep your DigiCert services and API integrations running as expected. - Schedule tasks around maintenance

CertCentral ACME protocol support general availability
We are happy to announce the general availability of one of our Automation Tools—ACME protocol support. Its open beta period has ended, and it is now ready for production environments.
With ACME + CertCentral, use your preferred ACME client to automate your SSL/TLS certificate deployments and remove time spent completing manual certificate installations.
CertCentral ACME protocol support allows you to automate OV and EV SSL/TLS 1-year, 2-year, and custom validity certificate deployments. Our ACME protocol also supports the Signed HTTP Exchange certificate profile option, enabling you to automate your Signed HTTP Exchange certificate deployments.
ACME in CertCentral
To access ACME in your CertCentral account, go to the ACME Directory URLs page (in the left main menu, go to Automation > ACME Directory URLs).

We added two new features to the Expiring Certificates page (in the sidebar, click Certificates > Expiring Certificates), making it easier to manage renewal notifications for your expiring certificates.
First, we added a Renewal Notices column with an interactive check box. Use this check box to enable or disable renewal notices for an expiring certificate.
Second, we added two Renewal Notices filters: Disabled and Enabled. These filters allow you to see only the certificate orders with renewal notices enabled or disabled.
In the DigiCert Services API, we updated the List keys and Get key info endpoints response parameters, enabling you to see the organization associated with your ACME certificate orders.
Now, when you call the List keys and Get key info endpoints, we return the name of the organization (organization_name) associated with the ACME certificate order in the response.

We improved our ACME protocol, adding support for the Signed HTTP Exchange certificate profile option. Now, you can use your ACME client to order OV and EV SSL/TLS certificate with the CanSignHttpExchanges extension included.
First create the ACME Directory URL for your Signed HTTP Exchanges certificate. Then use your ACME client to issue and install the certificate with the CanSignHttpExchanges extension.
See ACME Directory URLs for Signed HTTP Exchange certificates and ACME user guide.
Background
The Signed HTTP Exchange certificate profile option is used to address the AMP URL display issue where your brand isn’t displayed in the address bar. See Display better AMP URLs with Signed Exchanges and Get your Signed HTTP Exchanges certificate.
This profile option allows you to include the CanSignHTTPExchanges extension in OV and EV SSL/TLS certificates. Once enabled for your account, the Include the CanSignHttpExchanges extension in the certificate option appears on your Add ACME Directory URL forms.
To enable this certificate profile for your account, please contact your account manager or contact our Support team.
We updated the information icons in the list of ACME Directory URLs on the Account Access page to help you quickly identify certificates that include a certificate profile option (for example, Signed HTTP Exchanges).
In the sidebar menu, click Account > Account Access. On the Account Access page, in the ACME Directory URLs section, click an information icon to see details about the certificate that can be ordered via the ACME Directory URL.
In the DigiCert Services API, we improved the List keys endpoint response parameters, enabling you to see ACME Directory URLs. Now, when you call the List keys endpoint, we return ACME URL (acme_urls) as well as API key (api_keys) information in the response.
In the DigiCert Services API, we improved the Get key info endpoint, enabling you to get details about ACME Directory URLs.
Include the ACME Directory URL ID in the call to the Get key info endpoint (/key/{{key_id}} where key_id is the ACME Directory URL ID) to get information about an ACME Directory URL.

We fixed a bug on the Guest URL Request a Certificate page, where clicking Order Now redirected you to the DigiCert account sign in page.
Now, when you order a certificate from a Guest URL and click Order Now, your request is submitted to your account administrator for approval. For more information about guest URLs, see Managing Guest URLs.
We added the Auto-Renewal User feature to the New Division page that optionally allows you to set a default user for the division's auto-renewal orders when creating a new division. If set, this user replaces the original requester on all division auto-renewal certificate orders and helps prevent auto-renewal interruptions.
In your account, in the sidebar menu, click Account > Divisions. On the Divisions page, click New Division. On the New Division page, in the Auto-Renewal User dropdown, set a default user for all division auto-renewal orders.
We are adding a new tool to the CertCentral portfolio—ACME protocol support—that allows you to integrate your ACME client with CertCentral to order OV and EV TLS/SSL certificates.
Note: This is the open beta period for ACME protocol support in CertCentral. To report errors or for help connecting your ACME client to CertCentral, contact our support team.
To access ACME in your CertCentral account, go to the Account Access page (in the sidebar menu, click Account > Account Access) and you'll see a new ACME Directory URLs section.
For information about connecting your ACME client with your CertCentral account, see our ACME user guide.
To turn ACME off for your account, contact your account manager or our support team.
