How to specify Approvers and Contacts for Certificates/Request

In the POST Certificates/Request API call, you can assign approvers and contacts. These people receive event log notifications when action is required on a certificate.

Approvers and contacts are assigned an identity. You can retrieve their identity information from POST Identity/Browse, and then in the Certificates/Request call, specify one of the following formats for Approvers and Contacts:

  • PrefixedUniversal: AD+(Friendly Name), LDAP+(Friendly Name), or local: Universal Unique ID (UUID) of user or group identity The format of the UUID, including the absence or presence of curly braces, depends on the settings from the identity provider. For example:

    [
       {
          "PrefixedUniversal":"AD+JHTEST:{4867d4b7-1b19-42a3-9a6d-655858ee7106}"
       }
    ]

- OR -

  • Prefix: AD+(Friendly Name), LDAP+(Friendly Name), or local with Universal and the UUID of a user or group identity. The format of the UUID, including the absence or presence of curly braces, depends on the settings from the identity provider. For example:

    [
       {
          "Prefix":"AD+JHTEST",
          "Universal":"{4867d4b7-1b19-42a3-9a6d-655858ee7106}"
       }
