    Field Description

    2. In the Delegate Domain To dialog, select the organization and, optionally, the department to which you want to delegate the domain.

    3. Select the certificate types that can be issued by the selected organization/department for the domain.

    4. (Optional) Enter a description that provides any contextual information required.

    5. Select the appropriate domain certificate request privileges for the organization/department based on the information provided in the following table.

      Field Description

      Delegated domain only

      When selected, the organization/department can only request certificates for the delegated domain (including hostnames or IP addresses) but not for subdomains.

      FQDN subdomain

      When selected, the organization/department can request certificates for fully qualified subdomains but not for wildcards or the delegated domain itself.

      First-level wildcard subdomain

      When selected, the organization/department can request certificates for wildcard subdomains one level below the delegated domain but not for the delegated domain itself.

      Second-level+ wildcard subdomain

      When selected, the organization/department can request certificates for wildcard subdomains at least two levels below the delegated domain but not for the delegated domain itself.

    6. Click Save.

    7. Repeat the delegation process to add additional organizations and departments as required.

      Depending on your role and how your account is configured, the creation and delegation of a domain may require additional administrator approval.
  8. Click Save.

Once added, domains must be validated before publicly trusted certificates can be issued. For more information, see Validating domains.
