Request certificate
Create a certificate for your tenant.
Tenants can hold multiple certificates next to each other, each request adds a new certificate. When the tenant has no active certificate yet the new certificate is activated right away, otherwise it is installed alongside and can be swapped through the activate certificate endpoint. Only one request per tenant runs at a time. The endpoint returns a 404 when the tenant does not exist on the site.
