Connect UltraDNS to CertCentral

With an UltraDNS connection, CertCentral automatically uses DNS TXT records to validate your domains on your behalf.

Before you begin

To set up the UltraDNS to CertCentral connection:

  • You need a CertCentral account and an UltraDNS account.

  • You must have permission to manage UltraDNS account connections in the UltraDNS Management Portal.

  • You must be a CertCentral administrator.

  • Integrate with UltraDNS must be enabled in CertCentral.

Step 1: Get your UltraDNS Account ID and API secret

  1. In your UltraDNS Management Portal, in the left menu, go to Accounts.

    To sign in, go to https://portal.ultradns.com/.

  2. On the Accounts page, select your account.

  3. On the Account Info tab, in the DigiCert CertCentral Connection section, select Link.

    The connection status should be NOT LINKED.

    주의

    Important: We show 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.

  6. Select OK, Saved.

  7. On the Account Info tab, in the DigiCert CertCentral Connection section, the connection status should now be PENDING ACTIVATION.
