Re: Automate Certificate Renewal for DCM and Apache HTTP application

So, this morning I published to the repo.  Of course the usual caveats apply: Use at your own risk.  This is very new code and there isn't a user manual, yet.  I am at PowerUp in NOLA at the moment so I might have missed something in push to the repo.  The documentation is, um, a work in progress.  Parts of the app were written using IBM BOB and BOB is very verbose when it comes to documentation.  I have made one attempt at cleaning up but I still want to curate it so it is more compact...so much to do, so little time...

Here is my Github account URL https://github.com/phelgren ;  There are two repos:  acme_dcm and Acme_servlet if you are interested in the code.

Just starting the journey...

I just want to make sure it was shared here.

I’m looking into both Pete’s Acme cert tool and this one as well.

Choices are good,

Found this - https://ibmi-oss-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/certbot.html -
my first read is its many steps beyond my training.

Looking for a simple solution to renewing SSL cert - having to train
network staff with no IBM i experience.
Pete Helgren had links to a Tomcat solution, but i need for updating the
DCM and an Apache webserver application.

Is the above solution a good way to go?
