Submit batch certificate request with CSRs

DigiCert​​®​​ IoT Trust Manager supports batch certificate requests—also known as batch jobs—as an efficient means to request and receive hundreds or thousands of certificates for a common enrollment profile. In a batch request, you specify the enrollment profile for the request parameters, upload your certificate field information in a CSV file, and DigiCert​​®​​ IoT Trust Manager generates your keypairs and certificates based on your uploaded certificate information. DigiCert ONE delivers your generated keys and certificates in a certificate package encrypted by a client authentication certificate provided with the batch request.

Batch certificate requests can also be made by providing certificate field information and having DigiCert ONE generate the keypairs. See Submit certificate batch request with DigiCert ONE-generated keys
