Connect a different UltraDNS account to CertCentral
Connect a different UltraDNS account to CertCentral. CertCentral can connect to just one UltraDNS account at a time. Connecting a different UltraDNS account disconnects the currently connected account.
Before you begin
To connect a different UltraDNS account to CertCentral, you need:
A CertCentral account with the Administrator role.
An UltraDNS account with permission to manage account connections in the UltraDNS Management Portal.
What happens to my automatic domain validation
Connecting a different UltraDNS account to CertCentral disables automatic domain validation for domains assigned from the currently connected account. To continue to validate those domains, validate them manually. Or reconnect that UltraDNS account to CertCentral, make those domains visible to CertCentral, and assign them to an organization.
Are my domains from the previous UltraDNS account removed?
Connecting a different UltraDNS account doesn’t remove any domains from CertCentral. To remove a domain from CertCentral, see Delete domains in CertCentral.
Step 1: Get your UltraDNS Account ID and API secret
In your UltraDNS Management Portal, in the left menu, go to Accounts.
On the Accounts page, select the UltraDNS account you want to connect.
On the Account Info tab in the DigiCert CertCentral Connection section, confirm that the connection status is NOT LINKED, and then select Link.
In the Enable DigiCert CertCentral Connection window, select Link.
You should see your Account ID and an API secret
Select Click to Copy to copy your Account ID and API secret. Then save them in a secure location.
Warning
Important: UltraDNS shows the API secret one time. There’s no way to retrieve a lost API secret. If you lose it, you must generate a new one. Generating a new API secret invalidates the existing one, requiring you to update the API secret in CertCentral. See Update the API secret for your UltraDNS to CertCentral connection.
Select OK, Saved.
The connection status changes to PENDING ACTIVATION.
For more information, see DigiCert CertCentral Connection in the UltraDNS documentation.
Step 2: Link your UltraDNS account in CertCentral
In CertCentral, in the left menu, go to Automation > Integrate with UltraDNS.
On the Automate domain validation with UltraDNS page, under Link account, replace the current values with the following information for the new UltraDNS account:
UltraDNS Account ID
Your 16-digit UltraDNS account identifier.
API secret
The API secret for your UltraDNS account.
Select Link.
In the Link new UltraDNS account window, CertCentral lets you know if connecting a different UltraDNS account disables any automatic domain validations.
Select Confirm.
CertCentral opens the Integrate UltraDNS domains tab on the Domains page.
Step 3: Verify the connection in your UltraDNS account
In your UltraDNS Management Portal, in the left menu, go to Accounts.
On the Accounts page, select the UltraDNS account you connected.
On the Account Info tab in the DigiCert CertCentral Connection section, the connection status should be ACTIVE.
If the status isn’t ACTIVE, contact your account manager or DigiCert Support.
Note
Note: The connection status of the previous UltraDNS account changes to NOT LINKED.
