6 Updating SSL Order

This is a series of articles dedicated to demonstrating how to get acquainted with Openprovider SSL API methods. If you want to go the beginning of this guide, please navigate to the article "1 How to choose a product".

To get more information about our API in general, please use our documentation portal as your reference.

Using the previous previous method "5 Retrieving SSL Orders" we successfully retrieved our orders and details.
But what if you want to update the original parameter(s) of an order created but was not yet approved?
There are different cases to use this method:
  SSL Order status    What can be updated
  PAI
  • All fields that are not connected with the product details, e.g. csr, organization_handle, etc.
  • send start_provision = true if you want to send certificate request to the CA  
  REQ    domain_validation_methods can be updated, e.g. change method from http to dns
  PAI, REQ, ACT    autorenew can be switched on/off

However, for the SSL order in status REQ approver email address value can be modified with the update approver email address method.
Entering Geo Fence iconUse endpoint path below. Base URL is determined by both the target environment and API version.
