This document provides information on how to integrate with a GoDaddy certificate authority. For more information about the GoDaddy certificate authority fields, see Certificate authorities.

Integrate with a GoDaddy CA

  1. On Segura™, in the navigation bar, hover over the Products menu and select Certificate Manager.
  2. In the side menu, select Management > Authorities > Certificate authorities.
  3. In the top right corner, click Add, and select GoDaddy.
  4. In the Name * field, enter a name to identify the CA.
  5. Select the button Status to activate or deactivate the CA.
  6. In the Key field, enter GoDaddy’s API key.
  7. In the Secret field, enter GoDaddy's API secret.

Supported certificate products

When you sign a request with a GoDaddy CA, you select the certificate product in the Product field of the GoDaddy tab, and Segura® sends that product to GoDaddy. The field comes pre-selected based on the request's validation type and domain type. For more information, see How to sign a request.

Only domain-validated (DV) products are available:

Product Use
DV SSL A single domain.
DV Wildcard SSL A wildcard domain, such as *.example.com.
DV UCC/SAN SSL Multiple names (common name and SANs). Segura® orders the smallest bundle that fits the names, from 5 up to 100 names.

For renewal requests, the GoDaddy tab shows the Period field instead of Product.

Product compatibility

Segura® rejects the request, with a message that explains the reason, if the product does not fit the request's names:

  • The request has more than one name (common name and SANs), but the product is not a multi-domain product.
  • The request has more names than the product supports.
  • The product is a wildcard product, but the request has no wildcard name.
  • The request has a wildcard name, but the product is not a wildcard product.

Reissue

A reissue request keeps the product of the original order. If GoDaddy rejects the reissue, the reason appears on the Validation guidelines screen.
