Frequently Asked Questions

Finding OrgId

Q: In section 2.3 of http://www.incommon.org/cert/repository/InCommon_CM_SSL_Web_Service_API.pdf
it says that I need the "orgId" in order to use the enrollment SOAP call. How do I find the orgId for our institution? The instructions in the above document say "Can be obtained from Admin UI - Organization properties "SSL Cert" tab", but this was not much help: I could not see the organization id anywhere in our certificate manager.

A: Go to Settings - Orgs, click Departments. Select the department to provision through, click edit, go to SSL tab, enable the web API check box and assign a secret key. The orgId will appear next to the secret key text box.

Status Codes

The SSL and Client APIs share a common set of status codes. If you stumble onto an undocumented status code or error condition, please file a bug with Comodo. It would benefit other API users if you also documented your experiences here on this wiki page.

...

  • -14 = An unknown error occurred! Check that the login_uri customerLoginUri parameter of your authData object is set to 'InCommon'.
  • -32 = The two phrase should be the same! Check your revocation phrase ('phrase' parameter). It appears that it cannot be left as empty string.-37 - (Undocumented). This has been confirmed to be a bug by Comodo support. See 'Known Issues', below.

Known Issues

  • As of 4/18 cmapi@comodo.com does not yet issue a support ticket when emailed. csmsupport@comodo.com have been helpful in answering questions in the meantime.Undocumented error -37 returned by the SSL API. This will be corrected in the next (unscheduled) release. This issue only affects the SSL Certificate API, and not SMIME. (Per support ticket NJP-793886)
