Delete Certificate
Delete a TLS certificate that has already been generated by the Certificate Authority (CA).
Deleting a certificate may also delete our system-defined CNAME record for it. If this occurs, the creation of a new certificate will generate a new system-defined CNAME record. You will need then need to define a CNAME record that points to this new system-defined CNAME record.
Use the Cancel Certificate Request endpoint to cancel a request for a TLS certificate that is still being processed by the CA.
What is the difference between a certificate request and a certificate order?
Our CDN is not a certificate authority. We have partnered with the Digicert certificate authority to fulfill your certificate requests.
- Certificate Request: Refers to how our CDN tracks your request for a certificate. Our service submits an order to the Digicert certificate authority based off of the information that you provide.
- Certificate Order: Refers to the order submitted to the Digicert certificate authority by our CDN on your behalf.
