DV enrollment

akamai_cps_dv_enrollment

Use the akamai_cps_dv_enrollment resource to create an enrollment for a Domain Validated (DV) certificate. This resource includes all information about your certificate life cycle, from the time you request it, through removal or automatic renewal. You can treat an enrollment as a core container for all the operations you perform within CPS.

You can use this resource with akamai_dns_record or other third-party DNS provider to create DNS records, and akamai_cps_dv_validation to complete the certificate validation.

📘

If you need to enroll a third-party certificate, use the akamai_cps_third_party_enrollment resource.

Argument reference

The following arguments are supported:

  • contract_id - (Required) A contract's ID, optionally with the ctr_ prefix.

  • common_name - (Required) The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for which you plan to use your certificate. The domain name you specify here must be owned or have legal rights to use the domain by the company you specify as organization. The company that owns the domain name must be a legally incorporated entity and be active and in good standing.

  • allow_duplicate_common_name - (Optional) Boolean. Set to true if you want to reuse a common name that's part of an existing enrollment.

  • sans - (Optional) Additional common names to create a Subject Alternative Names (SAN) list.

  • secure_network - (Required) The type of deployment network you want to use. standard-tls deploys your certificate to Akamai's standard secure network, but it isn't PCI compliant. enhanced-tls deploys your certificate to Akamai's more secure network with PCI compliance capability.

  • sni_only - (Required) Whether you want to enable SNI-only extension for the enrollment. Server Name Indication (SNI) is an extension of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) networking protocol. It allows a server to present multiple certificates on the same IP address. All modern web browsers support the SNI extension. If you have the same SAN on two or more certificates with the SNI-only option set, Akamai may serve traffic using any certificate which matches the requested SNI hostname. You should avoid multiple certificates with overlapping SAN names when using SNI-only. You can't change this setting once an enrollment is created.

  • acknowledge_pre_verification_warnings - (Optional) Whether you want to automatically acknowledge the validation warnings of the current job state and proceed with the execution of a change.

  • admin_contact - (Required) Contact information for the certificate administrator at your company.

    Requires these additional arguments:

    • first_name - (Required) The first name of the certificate administrator at your company.
    • last_name - (Required) The last name of the certificate administrator at your company.
    • title - (Optional) The title of the certificate administrator at your company.
    • organization - (Required) The name of your organization.
    • email - (Required) The email address of the administrator who you want to use as a contact at your company.

    • postal_code - (Required) The postal code of your organization.
    • country_code - (Required) The code for the country where your organization resides.
  • certificate_chain_type - (Optional) Certificate trust chain type.

  • csr - (Required) When you create an enrollment, you also generate a certificate signing request (CSR) using CPS. CPS signs the CSR with the private key. The CSR contains all the information the CA needs to issue your certificate.

    Requires these additional arguments:

    • country_code - (Required) The country code for the country where your organization is located.
    • city - (Required) The city where your organization resides.
    • organization - (Required The name of your company or organization. Enter the name as it appears in all legal documents and as it appears in the legal entity filing.
    • organizational_unit - (Required) Your organizational unit.
    • preferred_trust_chain - (Optional) The preferred trust chain will be included by CPS with the leaf certificate in the TLS handshake. If the field does not have a value, whichever trust chain Akamai chooses will be used by default.
    • state - (Required) Your state or province.
  • network_configuration - (Required) The network information and TLS Metadata you want CPS to use to push the completed certificate to the network.

    Requires these additional arguments:

    • client_mutual_authentication - (Optional) The configuration for client mutual authentication. Specifies the trust chain that is used to verify client certificates and some configuration options.

      Requires these additional arguments:

      • send_ca_list_to_client - (Optional) Whether you want to enable the server to send the certificate authority (CA) list to the client.
      • ocsp_enabled - (Optional) Whether you want to enable the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) stapling for client certificates.
      • set_id - (Optional) The identifier of the set of trust chains, created in mTLS Edge Truststore.
    • disallowed_tls_versions - (Optional) The TLS protocol version to disallow. CPS uses the TLS protocols that Akamai currently supports as a best practice.

    • clone_dns_names - (Optional) Whether CPS should direct traffic using all the SANs you listed in the SANs parameter when you created your enrollment.

    • geography - (Required) Lists where you can deploy the certificate. Either core to specify worldwide deployment (including China and Russia), china+core to specify worldwide deployment and China, or russia+core to specify worldwide deployment and Russia. You can only use the setting to include China and Russia if your Akamai contract specifies your ability to do so and you have approval from the Chinese and Russian government.

    • must_have_ciphers - (Optional) The ciphers to include for the enrollment while deploying it on the network. Defaults to ak-akamai-default when it is not set. For more information on cipher profiles, see Akamai community.

    • ocsp_stapling - (Optional) Whether to use OCSP stapling for the enrollment, either on, off or not-set. OCSP Stapling improves performance by including a valid OCSP response in every TLS handshake. This option allows the visitors on your site to query the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) server at regular intervals to obtain a signed time-stamped OCSP response. This response must be signed by the CA, not the server, therefore ensuring security. Disable OSCP Stapling if you want visitors to your site to contact the CA directly for an OSCP response. OCSP allows you to obtain the revocation status of a certificate.

    • preferred_ciphers - (Optional) Ciphers that you preferably want to include for the enrollment while deploying it on the network. Defaults to ak-akamai-default when it is not set. For more information on cipher profiles, see Akamai community.

  • signature_algorithm - (Required) The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) function, either SHA-1 or SHA-256.

  • tech_contact - (Required) The technical contact within Akamai. This is the person you work closest with at Akamai and who can verify the certificate request. The CA calls this contact if there are any issues with the certificate and they can't reach the admin_contact.

    Requires these additional arguments:

    • first_name - (Required) The first name of the technical contact at Akamai.
    • last_name - (Required) The last name of the technical contact at Akamai.
    • title - (Optional) The title of the technical contact at Akamai.
