Use CreateCertificateWithCsrRequest to apply for a DV certificate - Certificate Management Service

Purchases, applies for, and issues a domain validated (DV) certificate by using a custom certificate signing request (CSR) file.

Operation description

You can use this operation to apply for only a domain validated (DV) certificate. You cannot use this operation to apply for an organization validated (OV) certificate. We recommend that you use the CreateCertificateForPackageRequest operation to apply for a certificate. You can use the CreateCertificateForPackageRequest operation to apply for certificates of all types and specify the CSR generation method.
Before you call this operation, make sure that you have purchased a certificate resource plan of the required specifications. For more information about how to purchase a certificate resource plan, see Purchase a certificate resource plan. You can call the DescribePackageState operation to query the usage of a certificate resource plan of specified specifications, including the total number of certificate resource plans that you purchase, the number of certificate applications that you submit, and the number of certificates that are issued.
When you call this operation, you can use the ProductCode parameter to specify the specifications of the certificate that you want to apply for.
After you call this operation to submit a certificate application, the certificate quota of the required specifications that you purchased is consumed. After you call this operation, you must call the DescribeCertificateState operation to obtain the information that is required for domain name ownership verification and manually complete the verification. Then, your certificate application is reviewed by the certificate authority (CA). If you use the Domain Name System (DNS) verification method, you must complete the verification on your DNS service provider system. If you use the file verification method, you must complete the verification on the DNS server.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.
API: The API that you can call to perform the action.
Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.
Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.
- For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.
- For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.
Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.
Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

Request parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Example
Csr	string	Yes	The content of the CSR file. The key algorithm in the CSR file must be Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) or elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC), and the key length of the RSA algorithm must be greater than or equal to 2,048 characters. For more information about how to create a CSR file, see How do I create a CSR file? A CSR file contains the information about your server and company. When you apply for a certificate, you must submit the CSR file to the CA. The CA signs the CSR file by using the private key of the root certificate and generates a public key file to issue your certificate. Note The CN field in the CSR file specifies the domain name that is bound to the certificate.	-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- ...... -----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
ProductCode	string	No	The specifications of the certificate that you want to apply for. Valid values: digicert-free-1-free (default): DigiCert single-domain DV certificate in a three-month free trial, available only on the China site (aliyun.com). symantec-free-1-free: DigiCert single-domain DV certificate in a one-year free trial, available only on the China site (aliyun.com). symantec-dv-1-starter: DigiCert wildcard DV certificate. geotrust-dv-1-starter: GeoTrust single-domain DV certificate. geotrust-dv-w-starter: GeoTrust wildcard DV certificate. globalsign-dv-1-personal: GlobalSign single-domain DV certificate. globalsign-dv-w-advanced: GlobalSign wildcard DV certificate.	symantec-free-1-free

If you use this method, you must add a TXT record to the DNS records of the domain name in the management platform of the domain name. You must have operation permissions on domain name resolution to verify the ownership of the domain name. FILE: file verification. If you use this method, you must create a specified file on the DNS server. You must have administrative rights on the DNS server to verify the ownership of the domain name. For more information about the verification methods, see Verify the ownership of a domain name.	DNS
