Order an SSL/TLS certificate from Key Vault account using Azure PowerShell

After you create the DigiCert CertCentral API key and gather the organization ID and CertCentral account ID, order DigiCert SSL/TLS certificates from the Azure Key Vault account.

To order certificates, use Azure PowerShell version 2.1.0. Download this version from:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/releases/tag/v2.1.0-September2016.

For problems running these Azure PowerShell commands, contact the Microsoft account representative.

Notice

The Azure Key Vault to CertCentral integration only supports ordering SSL/TLS certificates.

The variables in these instructions use sample values for reference. Change the sample values to match the account.

STEP 1: Open PowerShell and log in

Open a new PowerShell window and run this command to log in to the Azure Key Vault account.

Login-AzureRMAccount

STEP 2: Create a resource group

A resource group that already exists does not need re-creation.

Define the $resourceGroupName and $resourceGroupLocation variables
Run these commands to define the variables.
```
$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup"
$resourceGroupLocation = "West Us"
```
Create theresource group
Using the defined variables, run this command to create the resourcegroup.
```
New-AzureRMResourceGroup -Name $resourceGroupName -Location $resourceGroupLocation
```

STEP 3: Create a vault

A vault that already exists does not need re-creation.

Define the $vaultName and $vaultLocation variables
Run these commands to define the variables.
```
$vaultName = "myVaultName"
$vaultLocation = "West Us"
```

Create the vault

Using the defined variables, run this command to create the vault.

New-AzureRmKeyVault -VaultName $vaultName -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Location $vaultLocation -Sku Premium

STEP 4: Create an organization for the issuer

Run this command to create an organization for the issuer. This commandalso creates an $org variable for use in later commands.

$org = New-AzureKeyVaultCertificateOrganizationDetails -Id OrganizationIDfromDigiCertAccount

STEP 5: Create $secureAPIKey variable

Run this command to create and define the $secureAPIKey variable.

$secureApiKey = ConvertTo-SecureString DigiCertCertCentralAPIKey -AsPlainText –Force

STEP 6: Create issuer

This step creates the connection between the Azure Key Vault account and the DigiCert CertCentral account.

Define the $accountId and $issuerName variables
Run these commands to define your variables.
```
$accountId = "myDigiCertCertCentralAccountID"
$issuerName = "MyIssuerName"
```

Create theissuer

Using the defined variables, run this command to create an issuer.

Set-AzureKeyVaultCertificateIssuer -VaultName $vaultName -IssuerName $issuerName -IssuerProvider DigiCert -AccountId $accountId -ApiKey $secureApiKey -OrganizationDetails $org

STEP 7: Create policy

Using the defined variables, run this command to create a policy. This command also creates a $certificatePolicy variable for use in later commands.

$certificatePolicy = New-AzureKeyVaultCertificatePolicy -SecretContentType application/x-pkcs12 -SubjectName "CN=myCommonName.com" -ValidityInMonths 12 -IssuerName $issuerName -RenewAtNumberOfDaysBeforeExpiry 60

STEP 8: Request an SSL/TLS certificate

Define the $certificateName variable
Run this command to define your variable.
```
$certificateName = "myCertificateName"
```

Request the SSL/TLS certificate

Using the defined variables, run this command to request an SSL/TLS certificate.

Add-AzureKeyVaultCertificate -VaultName $vaultName -CertificateName $certificateName -CertificatePolicy $certificatePolicy

STEP 9: Check request status and access your certificate

Using the defined variables, run this command to check whether the certificate request status is complete.
```
Get-AzureKeyVaultCertificateOperation -VaultName $vaultName -CertificateName $certificateName
```
Using the defined variables, run this command to access the issued SSL/TLS certificate.
```
Get-AzureKeyVaultCertificate -VaultName $vaultName -CertificateName $certificateName
```
