# Sectigo SCM Issuer Connector — Operator Deep-Dive

|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The Sectigo connector integrates with Sectigo Certificate Manager's
|
|
REST API for ordering and managing DV, OV, and EV certificates.
|
|
Like DigiCert, it uses an async order model: submit an enrollment,
|
|
receive an `sslId`, then poll for completion.
|
|
|
|
Implementation lives at `internal/connector/issuer/sectigo/`.
|
|
|
|
## When to use this connector
|
|
|
|
Use the Sectigo SCM connector when:
|
|
|
|
- You're already a Sectigo Certificate Manager customer (formerly
|
|
Comodo CA / SecureTrust SCM).
|
|
- You need OV / EV certificates that Sectigo validates before
|
|
issuance.
|
|
- You want certctl to drive renewal lifecycle on top of Sectigo's
|
|
commercial issuance.
|
|
|
|
Look elsewhere when:
|
|
|
|
- You're using Sectigo through their ACME endpoint — the
|
|
[ACME connector](acme.md) is a simpler path.
|
|
- You only need DV certificates and want a free public-trust CA —
|
|
Let's Encrypt or ZeroSSL via the ACME connector.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Default | Description |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `CERTCTL_SECTIGO_CUSTOMER_URI` | — | Sectigo customer URI (organization identifier) |
|
|
| `CERTCTL_SECTIGO_LOGIN` | — | API account login |
|
|
| `CERTCTL_SECTIGO_PASSWORD` | — | API account password |
|
|
| `CERTCTL_SECTIGO_ORG_ID` | — | Organization ID (integer) |
|
|
| `CERTCTL_SECTIGO_CERT_TYPE` | — | Certificate type ID (integer, from `/ssl/v1/types`) |
|
|
| `CERTCTL_SECTIGO_TERM` | `365` | Certificate validity in days |
|
|
| `CERTCTL_SECTIGO_BASE_URL` | `https://cert-manager.com/api` | Sectigo API base URL |
|
|
| `CERTCTL_SECTIGO_POLL_MAX_WAIT_SECONDS` | `600` | Bounded-polling deadline for `GetOrderStatus` |
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
Three custom headers on every request: `customerUri`, `login`,
|
|
and `password`. No mTLS or OAuth2.
|
|
|
|
## Issuance model
|
|
|
|
`POST /ssl/v1/enroll` returns an `sslId`. DV certificates may
|
|
issue immediately; OV/EV certificates require Sectigo-side
|
|
validation and poll-based completion.
|
|
|
|
`GetOrderStatus` runs bounded internal polling
|
|
(5s/15s/45s/2m/5m capped, ±20% jitter, default 10-minute
|
|
deadline). The `collectNotReady` sentinel (cert approved but not
|
|
yet retrievable) rides the same backoff schedule. Bump
|
|
`CERTCTL_SECTIGO_POLL_MAX_WAIT_SECONDS` for OV/EV workflows where
|
|
human approval extends past 10 minutes — see
|
|
[async-ca-polling.md](../protocols/async-ca-polling.md) for the
|
|
schedule shape and tuning guidance.
|
|
|
|
## Revocation
|
|
|
|
CRL and OCSP are managed by Sectigo. certctl records revocations
|
|
locally and notifies Sectigo via `/ssl/v1/revoke/{sslId}`. Unlike
|
|
DigiCert (no auto-notify), Sectigo's revocation is part of the
|
|
connector's revoke path.
|
|
|
|
## Operator playbook
|
|
|
|
### Credential rotation
|
|
|
|
Rotate the API password in Sectigo's admin portal, then either
|
|
restart certctl-server with the new value in
|
|
`CERTCTL_SECTIGO_PASSWORD` or hot-swap via `PUT /api/v1/issuers/{id}`.
|
|
The registry's Rebuild path replaces the connector with the new
|
|
credentials. No certificate state is invalidated.
|
|
|
|
### Diagnosing slow OV/EV issuance
|
|
|
|
Sectigo's OV/EV vetting is human-driven and can take hours to
|
|
days. The same operational pattern as DigiCert applies: issue OV/EV
|
|
certs well ahead of expiry so the bounded poll deadline is short.
