Add SSL.com

SSL.com issues certificates through ACME but requires an External Account Binding (EAB) key pair from its account dashboard first. It offers separate RSA and ECC endpoints - pick whichever matches the key type you plan to issue most.

1. Create an EAB key pair in SSL.com

  1. Sign in at ssl.com and open your account dashboard.
  2. Find the ACME / EAB credentials section (under account or developer settings).
  3. Generate a new EAB credential and copy the Key ID and HMAC key.

2. Connect it in aethercert

  1. Go to Manage > Certificate Authorities and click Add certificate authority.
  2. Set Type to ACME CA (public or internal).
  3. Set Provider to SSL.com (RSA) or SSL.com (ECC), matching the key type you'll issue - this fills in the correct ACME directory URL automatically.
  4. Paste the Key ID into EAB key ID.
  5. Paste the HMAC key into EAB HMAC key.
  6. Name it "SSL.com" and save.

If you need both RSA and ECC certificates, add both as separate CA entries - each one only issues the key type its directory URL is scoped to.

3. Use it

Pick the matching CA when creating a certificate under Build > Certificate Jobs, and set Advanced options > Private key type to RSA or EC-256 accordingly.
