NSX-T Data Center REST API

Generate a New Certificate Signing Request with Extensions (Deprecated)

Creates a new certificate signing request (CSR) with selected extensions.
A CSR is encrypted text that contains information about your organization
(organization name, country, and so on), additional attributes as
extensions, and your Web server's public key, which is a public certificate
the is generated on the server that can be used to forward this request
to a certificate authority (CA). A private key is also usually created at
the same time as the CSR.
Deprecated: Deprecated in favor of POST /trust-management/csrs.

Name	Description	Type	Notes
_create_time	Timestamp of resource creation	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_create_user	ID of the user who created this resource	string	Readonly
_last_modified_time	Timestamp of last modification	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_last_modified_user	ID of the user who last modified this resource	string	Readonly
_links	References related to this resource The server will populate this field when returing the resource. Ignored on PUT and POST.	array of ResourceLink	Readonly
_protection	Indicates protection status of this resource Protection status is one of the following: PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is not allowed to modify it. NOT_PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is allowed to modify it REQUIRE_OVERRIDE - the client who retrieved the entity is a super user and can modify it, but only when providing the request header X-Allow-Overwrite=true. UNKNOWN - the _protection field could not be determined for this entity.	string	Readonly
_revision	Generation of this resource config The _revision property describes the current revision of the resource. To prevent clients from overwriting each other's changes, PUT operations must include the current _revision of the resource, which clients should obtain by issuing a GET operation. If the _revision provided in a PUT request is missing or stale, the operation will be rejected.	int
_schema	Schema for this resource	string	Readonly
_self	Link to this resource	SelfResourceLink	Readonly
_system_owned	Indicates system owned resource	boolean	Readonly
algorithm	Cryptographic algorithm (asymmetric) used by the public key for data encryption.	string	Enum: RSA, EC Default: "RSA"
description	Description of this resource	string	Maximum length: 1024 Sortable
display_name	Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set	string	Maximum length: 255 Sortable
extensions	X509 extensions to add X509 v3 extensions to be added to a CSR.	CsrExtensions	Readonly
id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
is_ca	Whether the CSR is for a CA certificate.	boolean	Default: "False"
key_size	Size measured in bits of the public key used in a cryptographic algorithm.	integer	Default: "4096"
pem_encoded	PEM encoded certificate data.	string	Readonly
resource_type	Must be set to the value Csr	string
subject	The certificate owner's information. (CN, O, OU, C, ST, L)	Principal	Required
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30

Example Request:

{ "subject": { "attributes": [ {"key":"CN","value":"Jane"}, {"key":"O","value":"VMware"}, {"key":"OU","value":"NSBU"}, {"key":"C","value":"US"}, {"key":"ST","value":"CA"}, {"key":"L","value":"PA"} ] }, "key_size": "2048", "algorithm": "RSA", "extensions": { "subject_alt_names": { "dns_names": [ "www.vmware.com", "*.vmware.com" ] } } }
