Utiliser la méthode de validation par démonstration pratique HTTP pour vérifier le contrôle du domaine

Prouvez que vous contrôlez un domaine sur votre commande de certificat TLS/SSL grâce à une démonstration pratique HTTP

Use HTTP Practical Demonstration to demonstrate control over a domain on your OV/EV TLS/SSL certificate order. For information about this DCV method and other DCV methods, see Demonstrate control over domains on a pending certificate order.

Validating domains during the certificate order process means certificates can only be issued after you've completed the domain validation. For faster certificate issuance, prevalidate domains when possible. To learn more about domain prevalidation, see Domain prevalidation: Supported DCV methods.

Before you begin

Important

Only use the HTTP Practical Demonstration DCV methods to demonstrate control over fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) exactly as named in the certificate request. To learn more, visit Domain Validation Policy Changes.

Use one of the other supported DCV methods, such as email, DNS TXT, and CNAME, to:

  • Validate wildcard domains (*.example.com).

  • Include subdomains in the validation when validating a higher-level domain. For example, if you want to cover www.example.com, mail.example.com, and one.example.com when validating the higher-level domain example.com.

  • Prevalidate entire domains and subdomains.

To demonstrate control over your domain, host a file containing a DigiCert-generated random value (provided for the domain in your CertCentral account) at a predetermined location on your website: http://{domain-name}/.well-known/pki-validation/fileauth.txt.

After you've created the file and placed it on your site, DigiCert visits the specified URL to confirm the presence of our random value. Make sure to avoid the Erreurs courantes : Méthode DCV par démonstration HTTP pratique.

Étape 1 : vérifier le statut de votre commande en attente

Rendez-vous sur la page Order details (Détails de la commande) du certificat SSL/TLS pour connaître le domaine et l'organisation à valider avant que nous puissions émettre votre certificat.

  1. Dans votre compte CertCentral, accédez à la page des détails de la commande Order # (N° de commande).

    1. Dans le menu principal de gauche, cliquez sur Certificate > Orders (Certificats > Commandes).

    2. Sur la page Orders (Commandes), dans la colonne Order # (N° de commande), cliquez sur le lien du numéro de commande de certificat.

  2. Sur la page de détails Order # (N° de commande), dans la section Validation in Progress (Validation en cours), vérifiez le statut d’émission (la commande est-elle en attente de la validation du domaine pour être finalisée ?).

    After validation is complete (domains and organization), the Order status section no longer appears on the Order # details page.

  3. Under You Need To, select the domain's link you want to validate.

  4. In the Prove control over domain window, in the DCV Method dropdown, select HTTP Practical Demonstration.

  5. Create a .txt file and add the DigiCert-provided random value.

    1. Open a text editor (e.g., Notepad).

    2. In the Order token box, copy your token and paste the random value in text editor.

      The random value expires after 30 days.

    3. Save the .txt file under this name: fileauth.txt.

  6. Create the .well-known/pki-validation/ directory on your site.

    For Windows-based servers, the .well-known folder must be created via command line (mkdir .well-known).

  7. Place the fileauth.txt file on your site under .well-known/pki-validation.

    The URL should look something like this:

    http://[yourdomain]/.well-known/pki-validation/fileauth.txt

  8. Complete domain validation

    1. In your CertCentral account, go to the order's Order # details page.

    2. On the Order # details page, in the Validation in Progress section, under You Need To, locate and select the domain link.

    3. In the Prove control over domain window, under 4. Complete domain validation, select Check site.
