le-challenge-manual

A Root Project

A manual cli-based strategy for Greenlock v2.7+ (and v3).

Prints the ACME challenge Token and Key and then waits for you to hit enter before continuing.

Install

npm install --save le-challenge-manual@3.x

Usage

var Greenlock = require('greenlock');

Greenlock.create({
  ...
, challenges: { 'http-01': require('le-challenge-manual')
              , 'dns-01': require('le-challenge-manual')
              , 'tls-alpn-01': require('le-challenge-manual')
              }
  ...
});

Note: If you request a certificate with 6 domains listed, it will require 6 individual challenges.

Exposed (Promise) Methods

For ACME Challenge:

• set(opts)
• remove(opts)

The options will look like this for normal domains:

{ challenge: {
    type: 'http-01'
  , identifier: { type: 'dns', value: 'example.com' }
  , wildcard: false
  , expires: '2012-01-01T12:00:00.000Z'
  , token: 'abc123'
  , thumbprint: '<<account key thumbprint>>'
  , keyAuthorization: 'abc123.xxxx'
  , dnsHost: '_acme-challenge.example.com'
  , dnsAuthorization: 'yyyy'
  , altname: 'example.com'
  }
}

And they'll look like this for wildcard domains:

{ challenge: {
    type: 'http-01'
  , identifier: { type: 'dns', value: 'example.com' }
  , wildcard: true
  , expires: '2012-01-01T12:00:00.000Z'
  , token: 'abc123'
  , thumbprint: '<<account key thumbprint>>'
  , keyAuthorization: 'abc123.xxxx'
  , dnsHost: '_acme-challenge.example.com'
  , dnsAuthorization: 'yyyy'
  , altname: '*.example.com'
  }
}

The only difference is that altname will have the *. prefix (which you would expect but, of course, can't work as a specific a DNS record) and the wildcard property is true.

Optional

• get(limitedOpts)

Because the get method is apart from the main flow (such as a DNS query), it's not always implemented and the options are much more limited in scope:

{ challenge: {
    type: 'http-01'
  , identifier: { type: 'dns', value: 'example.com' }
  , wildcard: false
  , token: 'abc123'
  , altname: 'example.com'
  }
}

If there were an implementation of Greenlock integrated directly into a NameServer (which currently there is not), it would probably look like this:

{ challenge: {
    type: 'dns-01'
  , identifier: { type: 'dns', value: 'example.com' }
  , token: 'abc123'
  , dnsHost: '_acme-challenge.example.com'
  }
}
