  • Port — The HTTPS port for the ONTAP REST API to use (default: 443).
  • SVM — Optional Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) scope to which the certificate applies; leave empty for cluster-scoped certificates.
  • Certificate PEM (required) — The PEM-formatted certificate to install, including the full certificate chain if applicable.
  • Private Key PEM — The PEM-formatted private key corresponding to the certificate; required for server or client certificates.
  • Certificate Type (required) — The type of certificate being installed, such as server, client, root CA, or intermediate CA.

Output shape

The response may include a job object indicating an asynchronous operation; the node polls until the job completes and returns the final status. Errors during installation will cause the node to fail unless continue-on-fail is enabled.
