Automation actions
Listed below are certificate lifecycle events that you can schedule and manage via the CertCentral automation service. In all events, the automation service handles not only the initial request, but also downloads and installs the resulting TLS certificates.
Enroll new certificates
The automation service generates the initial Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and then downloads and installs the new certificates as soon as they're available.
Reissue existing certificates
Reissues can be requested for individual certificates or in bulk. The reissued certificates get automatically installed when ready.
Renew certificates
Certificates can be configured to auto-renew or else can be renewed at any time. New certificates are installed seamlessly to avoid service disruptions.
Replace certificates
Existing third-party certificates can be automatically replaced with new certificates from DigiCert to enhance system uniformity and security.
Request duplicate certificates
Duplicate certificates can be automatically installed onto redundant systems for extra security. The duplicate certificates are downloaded and installed immediately.
Note
As a security precaution, certificate revocations cannot be entirely automated. However, CertCentral allows you to quickly access the order pages for your automated certificates in case you need to revoke any of them. See Revoke an issued TLS/SSL certificate.
