# 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](/documentation/platform/pki/ca/digicert-direct) for direct (non-ACME) certificate issuance.

<Note>
  This connection is for the DigiCert **CertCentral Services API**. If you are using DigiCert's
  ACME endpoint with External Account Binding (EAB) credentials, use the
  [ACME Certificate Authority](/documentation/platform/pki/ca/acme-ca) instead.
</Note>

## 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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to API Keys">
    In your CertCentral account, go to **Automation** → **API Keys** and click **Add API Key**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="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.

  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Create a dedicated API key for Infisical rather than reusing an existing one so you can rotate or
  revoke access independently.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Navigate to App Connections">
        In your Infisical dashboard, go to **Organization Settings** → **App Connections**.

      </Step>

      <Step title="Select DigiCert Connection">
        Click **Add Connection** and choose **DigiCert** from the list of available connections.

        <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/app-connections/digicert/digicert-app-connection-option.png" alt="Select DigiCert Connection" />
      </Step>

      <Step title="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**

      </Step>

      <Step title="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.

      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="API">
    To create a DigiCert Connection, make an API request to the [Create DigiCert Connection](/api-reference/endpoints/app-connections/digicert/create) 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"}
