Initiate certificate lifecycle automation events

With an ACME client installed on the server, and an ACME-based certificate profile set up in DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager, you are ready to start automating your certificate deployments with ACME. You can use ACME to enroll a new certificate or to reissue, renew, or duplicate an existing one.

Initiate each ACME request on the server where you want to install the certificate. Follow the third-party software provider's guidelines to invoke the local ACME client, using the URL and EAB credentials from your DigiCert automation profile.

DigiCert supports any ACMEv2-compliant client and ACME-ready application. The examples here illustrate use of the Certbot ACME client to request and install certificates for a web server on a Linux system.

These examples are for illustrative purposes only. Refer to the ACME client software provider's documentation for an exhaustive list of supported options. For the Certbot client, you can make the command certbot --help or visit the Certbot documentation website.
