Request certificates in batches
Batch certificate enrollment in DigiCert® Device Trust Manager enables you to submit multiple certificate requests in a single job using either a zip archive containing CSRs or a CSV file containing CSRs.
You can request a batch of certificates for Managed devices or Unmanaged devices.
To perform this action, you must have a user role that contains the Device administrator permission.
Use this workflow to request a batch of certificates for multiple managed devices in a single operation. Each certificate will be associated with a device record in Device Trust Manager, allowing you to register and manage devices at scale.
This is intended for organizations that need full device management capabilities across large device fleets, such as:
Bulk onboarding of devices into a central inventory
Managing device lifecycles at scale
Issuing bootstrap certificates during manufacturing or provisioning
Issuing operational certificates for ongoing device authentication
Enabling automated certificate renewal, secure firmware updates, and device monitoring
When you request a batch of certificates for multiple managed devices, Device Trust Manager issues the certificates and creates or associates device records for each device in the batch.
Nota
Requesting a batch of certificates for multiple managed devices consume an Advanced license.
To perform this action, you must have a user role that contains the Device administrator permission.
Use this workflow to request a batch of certificates for multiple unmanaged devices in a single operation without creating or associating device records in Device Trust Manager.
Unlike batch certificate request for managed devices, certificate requests for unmanaged devices in a batch focus only on certificate issuance. This option is designed for organizations that need certificates at scale but don't require device inventory, lifecycle management, or device tracking.
This is designed for organizations that need large-scale certificate issuance for use cases such as:
CSA Matter Device Attestation Certificates (DACs)
C2PA claim signing certificates
Manufacturing and provisioning workflows
Device identity certificates that don't require ongoing management
High-volume certificate issuance without device registration
When you request certificates for multiple unmanaged devices, Device Trust Manager issues only the certificates. No device records are created or associated with the certificates.
Nota
Requesting certificates for multiple unmanaged devices consume an Essentials license.
