Certificate Authorities
acme4j should support any CA providing an ACME server.
It is always possible to connect to an ACME server by passing in the CA’s resource directory URI:
Session session =
new Session("https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org/directory", accountKeyPair);
For some CAs there are also more specific ACME providers available via acme schemed URIs:
Session session =
new Session("acme://letsencrypt.org/staging", accountKeyPair);
Connecting via acme URI should always be preferred over using the directory URL.
Metadata
Some CAs provide metadata related to their ACME server. This information can be retrieved via the Session object:
Metadata meta = session.getMetadata(); URI website = meta.getWebsite();
meta is never null, even if the server did not provide any metadata. All of the Metadata getters are optional though, and may return null if the respective information was not provided by the server.
