General workflow for Certificate Manager - SaaS developers¶

You can use the Certificate Manager - SaaS API to perform routine tasks for managing certificates. When you register for an account, the default system configuration will allow you to obtain test certificates that are issued from a non-publicly trusted Certification Authority. You can use the default system configuration and the REST API to learn how to use Certificate Manager - SaaS. When you are ready, follow this basic workflow to manage your own certificates.

• Request certificates. If you are requesting test certificates, the default system configuration restricts the domains that may be requested for test certificates.
• Check the status of a certificate.
• Download the certificate as a Base64 PEM encoded certificate or as a binary DER file.
• Search for information about certificates.
