Deactivate domains in CertCentral

Learn how to deactivate a domain in CertCentral.

Before you begin

Only a CertCentral administrator can deactivate domains. Deactivating a domain blocks certificate issuance for that domain until it is reactivated.

Items to note:

  • Existing certificates that include the deactivated domain are unaffected and remain valid until they expire.

  • The domain's validation remains valid until it expires.

Deactivate a domain

  1. In the CertCentral main menu,

    • For Enterprise and Partner accounts: go to Certificates > Domains.

    • For Subscription accounts: go to the Validations > Domains.

  2. On the Domains page, in the Domain name column, select the domain you want to deactivate.

  3. On the domain's details page, in the Domain actions menu, select Deactivate domain.

  4. In the Deactivate Domain window, select Deactivate domain.

The certificate issuance is blocked for this domain now. Before ordering a certificate for this domain again reactivate it.
