Popular search engines and browsers are pushing for an all-HTTPS web.This means an increased number of SSL certificates to manage.

Managing SSL certificates can be a very tedious manual task:

- generate a Certificate Signing Request

- copy/paste to your certificate provider web interface

- validate the request

- wait for the certificate to be generated

- download and copy the new certificate files into their destination

With HEAnet's introduction of the new SSL certificate service Sectigo, a new approach is now available: Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME).

DIAS has successfully tested and implemented this new service for more than 100 certificates.
