I'm working on automating my certificate renewal process and need to have a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) signed by DigiCert. I also want to download the signed certificate automatically using their API. However, I'm a bit confused about the overall workflow for using the DigiCert API for CSR submission and certificate retrieval. I want to ensure I understand the process clearly, without asking for specific code.

It sounds like you're diving into the DigiCert API directly. Just a tip—consider using libraries like PoshACME, which can handle some of the heavy lifting for you. It might simplify the process a bit if you're open to using third-party tools!
Hey, just a heads-up, people here aren't going to just hand you scripts. You're likely going to need to do some legwork yourself. Have you checked out DigiCert's documentation or their support? That’s a good place to start. If you're unsure about something, you could also try consulting some online forums or communities related to the API.
Thanks for the advice! I have checked out the documentation, but I still find some parts unclear regarding the entire workflow. It's not about needing a script; I just want a clearer understanding.
I appreciate the suggestion, but I prefer to keep it simple and handle things on my end without third-party dependencies. I'm focused on sending the CSR I generate to DigiCert and managing the downloads myself.
