# DigiCert connection

> Learn how to configure a DigiCert connection for Infisical.

Infisical supports connecting to [DigiCert CertCentral](https://dev.digicert.com/en/certcentral-apis.html) using a **CertCentral API Key**. This connection powers the [DigiCert Certificate Authority](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/pki/ca/digicert-direct.md) for direct (non-ACME) certificate issuance.

> [!NOTE]
>
> This connection is for the DigiCert **CertCentral Services API**. If you're using DigiCert's
> ACME endpoint with External Account Binding (EAB) credentials, use the
> [ACME Certificate Authority](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/pki/ca/acme-ca.md) instead.

## Prerequisites

* A CertCentral account with sufficient permissions to create API keys and place certificate orders
* At least one validated CertCentral organization that will be listed on issued certificates
* A CertCentral user with a role that can place and manage orders (typically **Manager** or **Administrator**) — the API key inherits its permissions from this user

## Create a CertCentral API key

**1. Navigate to API Keys**

In your CertCentral account, go to **Automation** → **API Keys** and select **Add API Key**.

**2. Name and create the key**

Give the key a descriptive name (e.g. `infisical`) and **assign a user whose role is Manager or Administrator**, the key inherits that user's permissions on CertCentral.

Under **API key restrictions**, leave the default **None** or select **Orders, Domains, Organizations**

Copy the generated key value, it is only shown once.

> [!TIP]
>
> Create a dedicated API key for Infisical rather than reusing an existing one so you can rotate or
> revoke access independently.

## Create DigiCert connection in Infisical

> [tab] Infisical UI
>
> **1. Navigate to App Connections**
>
> In Certificate Manager, go to **Settings** → **App Connections**.
>
> ![App Connections Tab](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/app-connections/general/add-connection.png)
>
> **2. Select DigiCert Connection**
>
> Click **Add Connection** and choose **DigiCert** from the list of available connections.
>
> ![Select DigiCert Connection](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/app-connections/digicert/digicert-app-connection-option.png)
>
> **3. Fill out Connection Form**
>
> Complete the form with:
>
> * A **name** for the connection (e.g. `digicert-prod`)
> * An optional **description**
> * The **CertCentral Region** matching your account, **US** or **EU**
> * Your **CertCentral API Key**
>
>   ![DigiCert Connection Form](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/app-connections/digicert/digicert-app-connection-form.png)
>
> **4. Connection Created**
>
> After clicking **Create**, Infisical validates the key by calling
> `GET /services/v2/organization`. Once the key is confirmed, the connection is ready to use
> in a DigiCert Certificate Authority.

> [tab] API
>
> To create a DigiCert Connection, make an API request to the [Create DigiCert Connection](https://infisical.com/docs/api-reference/endpoints/app-connections/digicert/create.md) API endpoint.
>
> ### Sample request
>
> ```bash Request theme={"dark"}
> curl --request POST \
>   --url https://app.infisical.com/api/v1/app-connections/digicert \
>   --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
>   --data '{
>     "name": "my-digicert-connection",
>     "method": "api-key",
>     "credentials": {
>       "apiKey": "<YOUR-CERTCENTRAL-API-KEY>",
>       "region": "us"
>     }
>   }'
> ```
>
> ### Sample response
>
> ```bash Response theme={"dark"}
