Edit common name and SANs on a pending order
Update the common name or subject alternative names (SANs) on a pending TLS/SSL certificate order before DigiCert issues the certificate.
Before you begin
You must have Administrator or Manager access to edit domains on a pending order.
You can only edit domains on a pending certificate order. Once DigiCert issues the certificate, you must reissue to change domains.
You cannot replace a wildcard domain with a fully qualified domain name or vice versa.
The total number of domains cannot exceed the number included in the original request.
Removing a domain does not reduce the number of SAN slots on the order. Removed SANs can be added back at no extra cost after issuance.
Editing domains does not change the cost of the order. To reduce the certificate cost, cancel the pending order and submit a new request.
Edit domains on a pending order
For Enterprise, Partner, and Legacy accounts:
In the CertCentral main menu, go to Certificates > Orders.
Filter the list by Pending status.
Select the order number to open the Order details page.
In the Certificate status section, select Edit domains.
Update the common name or SANs as required:
To remove a domain, deselect it from the domain list.
To replace a domain, enter the replacement domain in the same field. Wildcard domains can only be replaced with other wildcard domains. FQDNs can only be replaced with other FQDNs.
Select Save.
For Subscription accounts:
In the CertCentral main menu, go to My Digital Trust Products > Certificates.
Filter the list by Pending status.
Select the order number to open the Order details page.
In the Certificate status section, select Edit domains.
Update the common name or SANs as required:
To remove a domain, deselect it from the domain list.
To replace a domain, enter the replacement domain in the same field. Wildcard domains can only be replaced with other wildcard domains. FQDNs can only be replaced with other FQDNs.
Select Save.
Notice
If you need to validate a domain that is proving difficult and want to remove it so DigiCert can issue the certificate for the remaining domains, remove the domain from the pending order. You can add it back after issuance via a reissue.
What's next
Cancel a pending certificate order if the order needs to be cancelled before issuance
