Understanding bulk SSL enrollment

The bulk SSL enrollment form endpoint enables users to request SSL certificates in bulk through a .csv file, without needing direct access to SCM. Users gain access to this enrollment form through custom accounts created for the form. These accounts are associated with specific organizations and departments in SCM. Users can be authorized to access multiple accounts within the same enrollment form endpoint.

Bulk SSL enrollment requires a configured PK agent to issue certificates. Additionally, the bulk enrollment form cannot be used if there are mandatory custom fields configured for enrollment endpoints in your account.

Bulk SSL enrollment requests can be managed on the Bulk SSL page.
