# certificate.create

Create a new Certificate

Certificates are classified under following types and the necessary keywords to be passed for create_type attribute to create the respective type of certificate

1. Imported Certificate - CERTIFICATE_CREATE_IMPORTED

2. Certificate Signing Request - CERTIFICATE_CREATE_CSR

3. Imported Certificate Signing Request - CERTIFICATE_CREATE_IMPORTED_CSR

4. ACME Certificate - CERTIFICATE_CREATE_ACME

By default, created CSRs use RSA keys. If an Elliptic Curve Key is desired, it can be specified with the key_type attribute. If the ec_curve attribute is not specified for the Elliptic Curve Key, then default to using “SECP384R1” curve.

A type is selected by the Certificate Service based on create_type. The rest of the values in data are validated accordingly and finally a certificate is made based on the selected type.

cert_extensions can be specified to set X509v3 extensions.

This method is a job.
