Renew a DigiCert Certificate from an EST-enabled profile

See more Certificates Examples

Demonstrates how to renew a certificate from an EST-enabled profile in DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager. (The certificate must be within the renewal window configured in the certificate profile. The CSR must have same Subject DN values as the original certificate.) C++

    // curl -v --cacert data/ca.pem --cert data/${1}.pem --key data/${1}.key.pem
