I am pretty sure that you won't be able to get a certificate for OWAS 3. OWAS3 needs a "version 1" certificate and the certificate-issuing authorities have since I think September this year said 'no more v1 certificates'

Whether this is specifically the problem that you have encountered, I can't be sure but it is definitely a potential problem for you.
