Configuration
4 fields, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
certificate_dn Distinguished Name of the certificate object in the Trust Protection Platform tree. | string | Yes | — | — | \VED\Policy\Certificates\www.acme.com |
pkcs10 A new certificate signing request to renew against, in base64 PKCS #10 form; leave blank to reuse the certificate's own settings. | string | No | — | — | -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- MIIB... -----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- |
reenable Renew even though the certificate was previously disabled. | boolean | No | false | — | — |
work_to_do_timeout Seconds to wait for the certificate authority before answering. Left at 0 the platform queues the work and answers straight away. | number | No | 0 | 0–120 | — |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"certificate_dn": "\\VED\\Policy\\Certificates\\www.acme.com",
"pkcs10": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----\nMIIB...\n-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----",
"reenable": false,
"work_to_do_timeout": 0
}Output
One shape.
result
| Field | Type | Example |

Success True when the platform accepted the renewal. | boolean | — |
CertificateDN DN of the renewed certificate object. | string | — |
CertificateData The certificate, base64 encoded in the chosen format. | string | — |

{
"CertificateDN": "",
"CertificateData": "",
"Filename": "",
"Format": "",
"Success": false
}Notes
- Venafi answers 200 with Success false when it refuses a renewal; the node raises that as an error rather than reporting a success.

In a technical demo we add the Venafi TLS Protect Datacenter connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
