May 01, 2020 Last updated: May 1, 2020 See all Documentation Let’s Encrypt uses the ACME protocol to verify that you control a given domain name and to issue you a certificate. To get a Let’s Encrypt certificate, you’ll need to choose a piece of ACME client software to use. The ACME clients below are offered by third parties. Let’s Encrypt does not control or review third party clients and cannot. The macOS 1E Client is provided as an Apple Disk Image file, such as 1e.client-macOSv4.1.0.191.dmg. Once downloaded to macOS, double click on the dmg file to automount it under /Volumes and display it in a Finder window, as shown opposite. To install the macOS.

The Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol is a communications protocol for automating interactions between certificate authorities and their users' web servers, allowing the automated deployment of public key infrastructure at very low cost.[1][2] It was designed by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG) for their Let's Encrypt service.[1]
The protocol, based on passing JSON-formatted messages over HTTPS,[2][3] has been published as an Internet Standard in RFC 8555[4] by its own chartered IETF working group.[5]
Implementations[edit]
The ISRG provides free and open-source reference implementations for ACME: certbot is a Python-based implementation of server certificate management software using the ACME protocol,[6][7][8] and boulder is a certificate authority implementation, written in Go.[9]. In September 2019, Smallstep introduced ACME support for their certificate authority step-ca.[10] In December 2015, the web server Caddy gained native support for automatic certificate issuance and renewal using the ACME protocol,[11] which has since been spun out into a Go library called CertMagic.[12] In October 2017, Let's Encrypt announced similar built-in functionality (through a module) for Apache httpd.[13]Since then a large number of client options have appeared.[14]
API versions[edit]
API version 1[edit]
API v1 was released April 12, 2016. It supports issuing certificates for single domains, such as example.com or cluster.example.com. Let's Encrypt suggests that users migrate to v2 as soon as possible as support for v1 is planned to be deprecated. Many ACME clients already supported v2 ahead of its release.[14]
API version 2[edit]
API v2 was released March 13, 2018 after being pushed back several times. ACME v2 is not backwards compatible with v1. Version 2 supports wildcard domains, such as *.example.com, allowing for many subdomains to have trusted SSL, e.g. https://cluster01.example.com, https://cluster02.example.com, https://example.com, on private networks under a single domain using a single shared 'wildcard' certificate.[15] A major new requirement in v2 is that requests for wildcard certificates require the modification of a Domain Name Service 'TXT' record, verifying control over the domain.
Changes to ACME v2 protocol since v1 include:[16]
- The authorization/issuance flow has changed.
- JWS request authorization has changed.
- The 'resource' field of JWS request bodies is replaced by a new JWS header: “url”.
- Directory endpoint/resource renaming.
- URI -> URL renaming in challenge resources.
- Account creation and ToS agreement are one step instead of two.
- There is a new challenge type, TLS-SNI-02, and TLS-SNI-01 has been removed

Acme is a text editor and graphical shell from the Plan 9 from Bell Labsoperating system, designed and implemented by Rob Pike. It can use the Sam command language. The design of the interface was influenced by Oberon. It is different from other editing environments in that it acts as a 9P server. A distinctive element of the user interface is mouse chording.
Overview[edit]
Acme can be used as a mail and news reader, or as a frontend to wikifs. These applications are made possible by external components interacting with acme through its file system interface. Rob Pike has mentioned that the name 'Acme' was suggested to him by Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller during a movie night at Times Square when he asked for a suitable name for a text editor that does 'everything'.[4]
Acme Client For Macos Windows 10
Ports[edit]
Acme Client For Macos 10
A port to the Inferno operating system is part of Inferno's default distribution. Inferno can run as an application on top of other operating systems, allowing Inferno's port of acme to be used on most operating systems, including Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux. A project called acme: stand alone complex intends to make acme run as a standalone application on the host operating system.[5]
A working port of acme for Unix-like operating systems is included in Plan 9 from User Space, a collection of various ported programs from Plan 9. Currently it has been tested on a variety of operating systems including: Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and SunOS.
