In short: getting and installing SSL/TLS certificates made easy. The Let's Encrypt Client is a tool to automatically receive and install X.509 certificates to enable TLS on servers. The client will interoperate with the Let's Encrypt CA which will be issuing browser-trusted certificates for free. It's all automated: The tool will prove domain control to the CA and submit a CSR (Certificate Signing Request). If domain control has been proven, a certificate will get issued and the tool will automatically install it. WWW: https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt PR: 203405

This software is a DEVELOPER PREVIEW intended for developers, testers and
|
|
early-adopters only. Support requests and bug reports should be sent directly
|
|
and only to the upstream project: https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt
|
|
|
|
letsencrypt is currently in Closed Beta (invite only). In order to
|
|
acquire certificates, you must have applied for and received an invitation,
|
|
and have your domains whitelisted FIRST.
|
|
|
|
This port installs the "standalone" Python client only, which does not use and
|
|
is not the letsencrypt-auto bootstrap/wrapper script.
|
|
|
|
By default, the client will authenticate and obtain certificates using, and
|
|
signed by a TEST(Staging) Certificate Authority (CA). These certificates will
|
|
NOT be trusted publicly.
|
|
|
|
To obtain certificates, use the --server argument pointing to the correct
|
|
server URL as documented in your invitation email, and use the 'certonly'
|
|
command as follows:
|
|
|
|
# sudo letsencrypt --server <server-URL> certonly
|
|
|
|
Note: The client currently requires the ability to bind on TCP port 80. If
|
|
you have a server running on this port, it will need to be temporarily stopped
|
|
so that the standalone server can listen on that port to complete
|
|
authentication.
|
|
|
|
The letsencrypt plugins to support apache and nginx certificate installation
|
|
will be made available soon in the following ports:
|
|
|
|
* Apache plugin: security/py-letsencrypt-apache
|
|
* Nginx plugin: security/py-letsencrypt-nginx
|
