If a certificate is not issued immediately, such as for Microsoft CA server certificate profile, then a request_id is returned in the response.
For DV certificates, along with request_id, other DV details i.e. dcv_method and dcv_random_value are also returned in response.
vault write digicert-pki/issue/stage common_name="test.winthecustomer.com" Key Value --- ----- common_name test.winthecustomer.com dcv_method dns-txt-token dcv_random_value _4z93nbtnhqr5v9o84f8m9a6nuu45wyt request_id 95e4032f-bd7b-4b71-9b39-6e9fb0966484
Pick up a pending certificate with the request_id in the issuing response:
vault read digicert-pki/pickup/[request_id]
The response will show the status of the pending request and return certificate details on successful issuance.
The certificate issued through DigiCert PKI secret engine can also be revoked from inside the vault using its serial number.
Anmerkung
The plugin cannot revoke a certificate that was not issued by the DigiCert PKI Secrets Engine i.e., the certificate must exist in the plugin storage.
vault write digicert-pki/revoke/[role name] serial_number=748B6C3B014C48A1F3FF0C17C4764428360F68F5
