Re: Assorted questions and musings, Re: So has anybody come up with a solution for certificate automation that will work on a Midrange box?

It seems to me that if the supplied web server is a "real" Apache httpd, then the locations of the keys and certs *should* be in the
configuration files, reachable through WRKLNK and EDTF.

Actually, no, we're already doing that, on multiple customer boxes, and have been for quite a few years now. The object is to do so in a way that is amenable to fully automated maintenance, of the sort that LE has been doing from its inception, and that other CAs are evidently also rolling out.

I don't know about any of you, but the idea of having, three years from now, to manually deal with certs that last a maximum of a month and a half (and do so in a server that has to be restarted for the changes to take effect) makes me want to (with apologies to George Washington) "retire to the back-country, and live in a wigwam."
