An ACME client library and PowerShell client for the .NET platform.

⭐ I appreciate your star, it helps me decide to which OSS projects I should allocate my spare time.

Overview

This project implements a client library and PowerShell client for the ACME protocol.

  • ACMESharp is interoperable with the CA server used by the Let's Encrypt project which is the reference implementation for the server-side ACME protocol.
  • ACMESharp includes features comparable to the official Let's Encrypt client which is the reference implementation for the client-side ACME protocol.

The ACMESharp client implementation is broken up into layers that build upon each other:

  • basic tools and services required for implementing the ACME protocol and its semantics (JSON Web Signature (JWS), PKI operations, client-side persistence)
  • low-level ACME protocol client library that can interoperate with a compliant ACME server
  • PowerShell module that implements a powerful client, that functions equally well as a manual tool or a component of a larger automation process, for managing ACME Registrations, Identifiers and Certificates
  • collection of Provider extensions that implement Challenge Handlers and Installers for various servers/services.

Some of the Providers available for handling ACME challenges and installing certificates include:

  • Microsoft IIS 7.0+
  • Microsoft Windows (Cert Store, DNS)
  • AWS (S3, Route 53, ELB, IAM)
  • CloudFlare

Downloads

ACMESharp PowerShell Client Modules

  • If you just want to use ACMESharp to request and install certificates, then you want the ACMESharp PowerShell client.

  • See the instructions for installing the PowerShell client and the list of available modules.

ACMESharp NuGet Packages

  • If you are a developer who wants to embed ACMESharp client libraries in your own projects or want to develop extensions for ACMESharp, see the list of available NuGet Packages.

Current State

This client is fully operable and can successfully interact with the Let's Encrypt production and staging servers to:

  • Initialize new Registrations
  • Authorize DNS Identifiers
  • Issue Certificates

Further, it can successfully install and configure the certificate and related SSL/TLS settings for various local (e.g. IIS, Cert Store) or remote (e.g. AWS, CloudFlare) servers or services.

All documentation is still work-in-progress.

Quick Start
