SECARDEO certACME v2 for Highly Secure, Automated and Auditable TLS Certificate Enrollment

Ismaning,
Germany,
April
11,
2025
–(PR.com)– SECARDEO
certACME
is
a
proxy
for
centralized
autoenrollment
of
TLS
certificates
using
ACME,
especially
for
external
and
internal
web
servers
with
private
and
public
CAs.
Kubernetes
clusters,
Linux
clients,
and
Apple
devices
can
now
also
be
registered
with
it.
In
addition
to
the
ACME
validation
procedures,
which
now
include
TLS
ALPN
along
with
HTTP
and
DNS,
advanced
security
mechanisms
such
as
whitelists
and
ACME
acceptance
by
an
approver
are
available.
This
is
now
complemented
by
crypto
policies
and
external
account
binding,
including
verification
of
enrollment
permissions
in
Active
Directory.
The
certificates
are
stored
in
a
central
database
and
can
be
efficiently
managed
there
with
additional
tools
such
as
Secardeo
certLife.
This
ensures
complete
control
over
an
organization’s
certificates
and
thus
verifiable
certificate
management
processes.

Key
new
features
in
certACME
v2
include:

*
Support
for
additional
ACME
clients
and
CAs
such
as
DigiCert,
GlobalSign,
or
EJBCA
*
Centralized
enrollment
of
external
and
internal
servers
with
ACME
CAs
such
as
Let’s
Encrypt
or
ZeroSSL
*
TLS
ALPN
validation
without
opening
port
80
*
External
account
binding
for
secure
request
authorization
using
Active
Directory
users
and
certificate
templates
*
ACME
device
certificates
using
Apple
Device
Attestation
and
MDM
lookup
for
Intune
and
others
*
Many
other
features
and
improvements

“Google
and
Apple
are
pushing
certificate
validity
periods
of
90
to
45
days.
Reliable,
centralized
automation
for
both
external
and
internal
web
server
certificates
is
essential
and
should
be
implemented
early,”
says
Dr.
Gunnar
Jacobson,
founder
and
managing
director
of
SECARDEO.

certACME
is
part
of
the
