Usage notes
Default order: If the requested certificate matches an existing order, DigiCert® Trust Lifecycle Manager applies the default automation action. See ACME automation actions .
This command only works for private certificates issued from CAs in DigiCert® Private CA. For public certificates, you must use additional options to validate the domain through Certbot. For examples, see here (DNS-01 validation method) and here (HTTP-01 validation method).
