SSL.com¶

Available since acme4j 3.2.0. This provider is experimental!

Connection URIs¶

acme://ssl.com, acme://ssl.com/ecc - Production server, ECDSA certificate mode
acme://ssl.com/rsa - Production server, RSA certificate mode
acme://ssl.com/staging, acme://ssl.com/staging/ecc - Testing server, ECDSA certificate mode
acme://ssl.com/staging/rsa - Testing server, RSA certificate mode

Note¶

This CA requires External Account Binding (EAB) for account creation. However, the CA's directory resource returns externalAccountRequired as false, which is incorrect. If you use one of the acme: URIs above, acme4j will patch the metadata transparently. If you directly connect to SSL.com via https: URI though, Metadata.isExternalAccountRequired() could return a wrong value. (As of February 2024)
The certificate of the ssl.com staging server seems to be unmonitored. When it expires, an AcmeNetworkException is thrown which is caused by a CertificateExpiredException. There is nothing you can do to fix this error, except to ask the ssl.com support to renew the expired certificate on their server. Please do not open an issue at acme4j. (As of June 2024)

acme4j is not officially supported or endorsed by SSL.com. If you have acme4j related issues, please do not ask them for support, but open an issue here.
