Type: Boolean

Constraint: The value should be disabled (false) if isAutoRenewal is true.

regenerateBeforeInDays (Optional) Specifies the number of days prior to expiration when the regenerate request should be triggered.

Type: Integer

caSettingName (Mandatory) Name of the CASetting created in AppViewX for the chosen certificate authority.

Type: String

certificateType (Mandatory) Name of the certificate product offered by the certificate authority.

Type: String

description (Optional) Information about the certificate.

Type: String

csrParameters (Optional) Parameters required for generating a CSR.

Type: InCommon CSR Parameters

genericFields (Optional) Custom fields configured for the CA/customer.

Type: InCommon genericFields

vendorSpecificDetails (Optional) Data specific to the InCommon vendor.

hashFunction (Optional) The hash function to be used in the Certificate, e.g. SHA160. It should be chosen from the possible values configured in the certificate policy.

Type: String

Constraint: Default value - the first value will be chosen from the policy.

keyType (Optional) The algorithm to be used for key generation, e.g. RSA, DSA, or EC. It should be chosen from the possible values configured in the certificate policy.

Type: String

Constraint: Default value - the first value will be chosen from the policy.

bitLength (Optional) The bit length for the key is dependent on the key type chosen. It should be chosen from the possible values configured in the certificate policy.

Type: String

Constraint: Default value - the first value will be chosen from the policy

certificateCategories (Mandatory) Purpose or intended use of the generated certificate

Type: Array of string

Possible value: Server, Client, Code Signing, and Email

Recommendation: Assign only one of the possible values as the input. For example, if intended certificate category is client, set this parameter to Client.

ellipticCurve (Optional) If the keyType chosen is EC, then the ellipticCurve must be specified depending on the bit length selected. It should be chosen from the possible values configured in the certificate policy.

Type: String

Constraint: Default value - the first value will be chosen from the policy

enhancedSANTypes (Optional) The subject alternative names (SAN) for the certificate. The sub-parameter is dNSNames.
