Add Actalis
Actalis issues certificates through ACME but requires an External Account Binding (EAB) key pair first. Its free tier is limited to a single domain plus its www variant - fine for one site, not for a fleet.
1. Create an EAB key pair with Actalis
- Register for an ACME account at actalis.com.
- Request EAB credentials through your Actalis account area.
- Note the Key ID and HMAC key issued to you.
2. Connect it in aethercert
- Go to Manage > Certificate Authorities and click Add certificate authority.
- Set Type to ACME CA (public or internal).
- Set Provider to Actalis - this fills in the correct ACME directory URL automatically.
- Paste the Key ID into EAB key ID.
- Paste the HMAC key into EAB HMAC key.
- Name it "Actalis" and save.
3. Use it
Pick this CA when creating a certificate under Build > Certificate Jobs. Given the free tier's domain limit, Actalis is best suited to a single primary domain rather than a whole fleet - use Let's Encrypt or another CA for everything else.
