ACME Package Settings

These sections describe the settings for each tab in the ACME package.

• Account Key Settings
• Certificate Settings
• Validation Methods
• DNS Alias Mode

General Settings

These settings control the general behavior of the ACME package and are not specific to any single certificate or key.

Cron Entry:

A checkbox which enables the ACME renewal cron job. When set, the ACME package will check all certificates each night and if any are up for renewal, it will attempt to renew them.

Write Certificates:

When set, the ACME package will write the certificate files out in /conf/acme. From there, other scripts or processes which do not support GUI integration can pick up the certificate.

Custom ACME servers

This section allows users to define ACME services which are not available in the ACME package by default. These custom servers are available to select when creating ACME Account Keys.

Warning

There is no way for the ACME package to determine if the service is valid or which validation methods it supports. Use this feature only after testing it thoroughly.

To define a custom ACME server, fill in the values for an entry:

Internal ID

An internal identifier used by the ACME package when referring to this server.

This value must be under 32 characters in length and use only lowercase letters, numbers, and dash, e.g. my-acme-server.

Display Name

The name which will appear in the ACME package GUI to select this server, e.g. My ACME Server.

Server URL

The full URL to the ACME server, e.g. https://acme.example.com:4433/acme/acme/directory.
