ACME Java Client build status

This is a Java client for the Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol.

ACME is a protocol that a certificate authority (CA) and an applicant can use to automate the process of verification and certificate issuance.

This Java client helps connecting to an ACME server, and performing all necessary steps to manage certificates.

It is an independent open source implementation that is not affiliated with or endorsed by Let's Encrypt.

ACME v1

This acme4j branch implements the deprecated ACME v1 protocol. Let's Encrypt has announced an End of Life Plan for ACME v1. According to this plan, access to the ACME v1 servers will be limited starting November 2019, and completely stopped in June 2021.

Please migrate your code to acme4j v2.5 or higher soon!

This acme4j v1 branch will only receive security fixes until November 1st, 2019. After that date, ACME v1 support will end and this branch will be closed.

Features

  • Supports the "ACME v1" protocol that is used by Let's Encrypt
  • Easy to use Java API
  • Requires JRE 8u101 or higher
  • Built with maven, packages available at Maven Central
  • Small: acme4j-client only requires jose4j and slf4j as dependencies
  • Only the optional acme4j-utils module requires Bouncy Castle
  • Extensive unit tests

Usage

Contribute

  • Fork the Source code at GitHub. Feel free to send pull requests. However, work on this branch is discontinued in favor of the ACMEv2 implementation in the master branch. We will only accept bug fixes and security related patches.
  • Found a bug? File a bug report. Please add a note that you are referring to the old ACMEv1 implementation!
