Automate certificate issuance using ACME
The Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol enables automated certificate enrollment and lifecycle management in CertCentral. ACME-based automation supports certificate enrollment, renewal, reissuance, and duplication of existing orders.
To use ACME automation, complete the following:
Set up ACME credentials in CertCentral and associate them with a certificate profile
Configure a supported ACME client with the regional directory URL and EAB credentials
Complete the required ACME challenge type to validate domain control
Certificate issuance proceeds when the following conditions are met:
Domain control validation requirements are satisfied
Organization validation is complete for OV and EV certificates
Account approval settings permit automated issuance
Notice
ACME automation does not bypass domain control validation or organization validation requirements. Validation must be complete according to the certificate type before issuance.
