New SSL API

What are the features of the new SSL API?

The new SSL API offers:

• SSL certificate orders where no contact data has to be provided - given the domain name, we retrieve the required contact information per WHOIS call
• SSL certificate orders where no CSR has to be provided - we can take care of this
• SSL certificate orders where the contact data can be provided via contact handles - just like in domain commands
• Advanced validation methods - instead of confirming emails, you can prove that you have control over a domain by a simple DNS or web content modification

How to use the new SSL API?

You can do that right away. Just make use of the new command parameters described below.
