Installing PKI ACME Responder

Overview

This document describes the process to install an ACME responder on a PKI server that already has a CA subsystem. It assumes that the CA was installed with the default instance name (i.e. pki-tomcat).

Installing PKI ACME Responder

To install PKI ACME responder RPM package, execute the following command:

$ dnf install pki-acme

To create PKI ACME responder in a PKI server instance, execute the following command:

$ pki-server acme-create

The command will create the initial configuration files in /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/conf/acme folder.

Configuring ACME Responder

To configure the ACME responder, see the following documents:

Deploying ACME Responder

Once everything is ready, deploy the ACME responder with the following command:

$ pki-server acme-deploy

The command will create a deployment descriptor at /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/acme.xml.

The server will start the ACME responder automatically in a few seconds. It is not necessary to restart PKI server.

To verify that the ACME responder is running, execute the following command:

$ curl -s -k https://$HOSTNAME:8443/acme/directory | python -m json.tool
{
    "meta": {
        "caaIdentities": [
            "example.com"
        ],
        "externalAccountRequired": false,
        "termsOfService": "https://www.example.com/acme/tos.pdf",
        "website": "https://www.example.com"
    },
    "newAccount": "https://<hostname>:8443/acme/new-account",
    "newNonce": "https://<hostname>:8443/acme/new-nonce",
    "newOrder": "https://<hostname>:8443/acme/new-order",
    "revokeCert": "https://<hostname>:8443/acme/revoke-cert"
}

Undeploying ACME Responder

To undeploy the ACME responder, execute the following command:

$ pki-server acme-undeploy

The command will remove the deployment descriptor at /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/acme.xml.

The server will stop the ACME responder automatically in a few seconds. It is not necessary to restart PKI server.

To restart the ACME responder, execute pki-server acme-deploy again.

Removing ACME Responder

To remove the ACME responder completely from the server, execute the following command:

$ pki-server acme-remove
