---

### Prerequisites:
- Have an active SSL certificate order-id.
- Prepare a new CSR (Certificate Signing Request) in base64 encoded format, including the begin and end markers.
- Have API authentication credentials: auth-userid and api-key.
- For EV Certificates, have organization address and zip/postal code available.

### Steps:
1) Use the HTTP POST method to send a reissue request to the API endpoint.
2) Submit the required parameters:
   - `auth-userid`: your API user ID (integer).
   - `api-key`: your API key (string).
   - `order-id`: the integer order ID of the SSL certificate being reissued.
   - `csr`: the base64 encoded CSR string, complete with the BEGIN and END markers.
3) Optionally specify the verification method:
   - `verification-method`: one of `email`, `cname`, or `http` (default is `email`).
4) If using `email` verification, provide the `verification-email` parameter.
5) For EV certificates, include the `address` and `zip` parameters for the organization&#39;s location.
6) Submit the request to the API endpoint (example test URL):
   ```
   https://test.httpapi.com/api/sslcert/reissue.xml?auth-userid=0&amp;api-key=keyℴ-id=0&amp;csr=-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST---...-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----&amp;verification-email=wew@approver.com&amp;verification-method=email
   ```
7) Receive a response hash map indicating the result of the reissue action.

### Warnings:
- The `address` and `zip` parameters are mandatory for EV certificates.
- The CSR must be properly base64 encoded including begin and end markers.
- If selecting email verification, `verification-email` is required.

### Summary:
To reissue an SSL certificate using the API, submit a POST request including authentication, the new CSR, and optionally set the verification method and EV certificate details. The API returns a result hash map confirming the outcome.

### Evaluation Pairs:

Q: What parameters are required to reissue an SSL certificate using the API?  
A: Required parameters are `auth-userid`, `api-key`, `order-id`, and `csr`.  

Q: When is the `verification-email` parameter required in the reissue API request?  
A: It is required if the `verification-method` parameter is set to `email` or defaults to email.  

Q: What additional parameters must be included for reissuing an EV SSL certificate?  
A: The `address` and `zip` parameters are compulsory for EV certificate reissues.
