Is it possible to create an ACME account without requesting a certificate? AFAICT is is not so you cannot use this method unless you have first requested a certificate with some other method. I hope I am wrong!
- dextercd 8mo agoAn account needs to be created before you can request a certificate. Some ACME clients might create the account for you implicitly when you request the first certificate, but in the background it still needs to start by registering an account. `certbot register` followed by `certbot show_account` is how you'd do this with certbot.
- chaz6 8mo agoGreat, thank you!
- plagiat0r 8mo agoMost acmev2 clients create account on certificate request. That is precisely why I wrote this: https://github.com/pawlakus/acmecli https://github.com/pawlakus/acmecli This small tool will allow you to just create, rekey and deactivate your acmev2 account(s).
