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.
