We fixed a DV certificate reissue bug where we weren't honoring the valid until date on the original order for certificates with more than a year remaining until they expired.
Now, when you reissue a DV certificate with more than a year remaining until it expires, the reissued certificate will retain the valid until date of the original certificate.
In the DigiCert Services API, we improved the DV certificate request endpoints allowing you to use the new email_domain field along with the existing email field to more precisely set the desired recipients of the domain control validation (DCV) emails.
For example, when ordering a certificate for my.example.com, you can have a domain owner for the base domain (example.com) validate the subdomain. To change the email recipient for the DCV email, in your DV certificate request, add the dcv_emails parameter. Then, add the email_domain field specifying the base domain (example.com) and the email field specifying the email address of the desired DCV email recipient (admin@example.com).

DV certificate endpoints:
We enhanced our DV certificate offering. You can now renew your DV certificate orders, allowing you to keep the original order ID.
Previously, when a DV certificate order neared its expiration date, you had to order a new certificate for the domains on the expiring order.
Note: DV certificates don't support domain pre-validation. When you renew a DV certificate, you must demonstrate control over the domains on the renewal order.
In the DV Certificate Enrollment guide, see Renewing DV Certificates.
We moved the CertCentral DV Certificate Enrollment guide to https://docs.digicert.com/certcentral/documentation/dv-certificate-enrollment/.
A pdf version of the guide is still available (see link at the bottom of the Introduction page).
Additionally, we updated and added instructions to cover the supported DCV methods for DV certificates in CertCentral.
We added two more Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods to the DV certificate Order and Reissue pages: DNS TXT and File.
Note: Previously (unless you are using the DigiCert Services API), you could only use the Email DCV method to prove control over the domains on your DV certificate orders.
Now, when ordering or reissuing a DV certificate, you can choose DNS TXT, File, or Email as the DCV method to complete domain validation for the order.
We added new Prove control over domains features to the DV certificates' Order # details page.
Previously, you were unable to take any actions to complete your domain validation on the DV certificates' Order # details page.
Now, you can take more actions to complete the domain validation for the order:
(In the sidebar menu, click Certificates > Orders. On the Orders page, in the Order # column of the DV certificate order, click the order number.)
We enhanced the Certificate Details section of the DV certificates' Order # details page adding additional DV certificate information: Serial Number and Thumbprint.
Note: This enhancement is not retroactive. This new information only appears for orders placed after 17:00 UTC time January 15, 2019.
(In the sidebar menu, click Certificates > Orders. On the Orders page, in the Order # column of the DV certificate order, click the order number.)
We enhanced the Get order details endpoint enabling the DV certificate's thumbprint and serial number to be returned in the response.
{
"id": "12345",
"certificate":{
"id":123456,
"thumbprint":"{{thumbprint}}",
"serial_number":"{{serial_number}}
...
}
Note: This enhancement is not retroactive. The thumbprint and serial number are only returned for orders placed after 17:00 UTC time January 15, 2019.
For more information, see the Get order details endpoint in the DigiCert Services CertCentral API documentation.
We enhanced our RapidSSL DV certificate offerings enabling you to include a second, very specific domain, in these single domain certificates.
We enhanced the RapidSSL certificate endpoints to include the dns_names parameter, enabling you to include a second, very specific domain, in these single domain certificates.
"common_name": "[your-domain].com",
"dns_names": ["www.[your-domain].com"],"common_name": "*.your-domain.com",
"dns_names": ["[your-domain].com"],For DigiCert Services API documentation, see CertCentral API.
Individual Document Signing certificates are available in CertCentral:
To activate Individual Document Signing certificates for your CertCentral account, contact your Sales representative.
Previously, only Organization Document Signing certificates were available.
To learn more about these certificates, see Document Signing Certificate.
We enhanced the Orders Report feature on the Orders page (in the sidebar menu, click Certificates > Orders). Now when you run a report (click Orders Report), it will include your DV SSL certificate orders.
RapidSSL and GeoTrust DV certificates are available in CertCentral:
