Summary

Create a certificate signing request (CSR) on a NetApp ONTAP cluster, optionally scoped to an SVM, with configurable certificate parameters.

Inputs

  • Cluster Host (required) — The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP cluster management LIF.
  • Port — HTTPS port for the ONTAP REST API (default 443).
  • Common Name (required) — The common name for the certificate request (e.g., cluster.example.com).
  • Certificate Type (required) — The type of certificate to request, options include Client, Client CA, Root CA, Server, Server CA. Defaults to Server.
  • SVM — Optional Storage Virtual Machine scope; leave empty for cluster-scoped request.
  • Additional Options — Options to customize the CSR such as Country, State, Locality, Organization, Organizational Unit, Email, Expiry Days, Hash Function (SHA256/SHA384/SHA512), and Key Size (2048/3072/4096).

Output shape

a JSON object representing the certificate signing request operation response including the generated CSR and metadata.

The response includes asynchronous job handling; the operation waits for job completion and returns the final result. Optional fields depend on ONTAP API response. If the SVM is specified, the request is scoped accordingly.
