Certificate

A certificate is used for encryption and communication between NTAK.guru and the government's NTAK system. It is mandatory for every accommodation to have a live certificate in order to carry out reporting activities.

Technically, the certificate model is not available in the API. However, it is important to understand the structure of the certificate object.

First, you need to generate a certificate for your accommodation, which will result in a pending certificate. You can only have one pending certificate at a time.
When you have a pending certificate, the hasPendingCertificate property in the accommodation object will be set to true.

While you have a pending certificate, you can download the certificate request file, .CSR.
This file is used to generate the certificate in the government's NTAK system.
Once the certificate is generated, you can upload the certificate file, .CER, to NTAK.guru.
At this point, we will convert your pending certificate to a live certificate. The hasPendingCertificate property will be set to false, and the hasLiveCertificate property will be set to true.

The .CER file contains the following properties:

• name: The name of the accommodation.
• providerName: The name of the accommodation provider.
• providerTaxNumber: The tax number of the accommodation provider.
• postalCode: The postal code of the accommodation.
• locality: The locality of the accommodation.
• reportingId: The reporting ID of the accommodation.
• expireAt: The expiration date of the certificate.
