ACME Identifier Validation Challenges.

ACME challenge response.
Types registered for JSON deserialization
Get JSON serializable object.
Serializable JSON object representing ACME typed object. validate() will almost certainly not work, due to reasons explained in josepy.interfaces.IJSONSerializable.
dict
Unrecognized challenge.

ACME specification defines a generic framework for challenges and defines some standard challenges that are implemented in this module. However, other implementations (including peers) might define additional challenge types, which should be ignored if unrecognized.

jobj -- Original JSON decoded object.
Get JSON serializable object.
Serializable JSON object representing ACME typed object. validate() will almost certainly not work, due to reasons explained in josepy.interfaces.IJSONSerializable.

Generic ACME error.
Dependency error

Network error.
Unexpected update error.
Server response nonce error.
Bad nonce error.
Missing nonce error.

According to the specification an "ACME server MUST include an Replay-Nonce header field in each successful response to a POST it provides to a client (...)".

~.response (requests.Response) -- HTTP Response
Generic error when polling for authorization fails.

This might be caused by either timeout (exhausted will be non-empty) or by some authorization being invalid.

  • exhausted -- Set of AuthorizationResource that didn't finish within max allowed attempts.
  • updated -- Mapping from original AuthorizationResource to the most recently updated one
Was the error caused by timeout?
Error for authorization failures. Contains a list of authorization resources, each of which is invalid and should have an error field.
Error for when polling an authorization or an order times out.
Error sent by the server after requesting issuance of a certificate.
Error for when the server returns a 409 (Conflict) HTTP status.

In the version of ACME implemented by Boulder, this is used to find an account if you only have the private key, but don't know the account URL.

Also used in V2 of the ACME client for the same purpose.

Error for when a wildcard is requested but is unsupported by ACME CA.

ACME JSON fields.

Fixed field.
Decode a value, optionally with context JSON object.
Encode a value, optionally with context JSON object.
RFC3339 field encoder/decoder.

Handles decoding/encoding between RFC3339 strings and aware (not naive) datetime.datetime objects (e.g. datetime.datetime.now(pytz.utc)).

Default (passthrough) encoder.
Default decoder.

Recursively deserialize into immutable types ( josepy.util.frozendict instead of dict(), tuple() instead of list()).

Generates a type-friendly Fixed field.
Generates a type-friendly RFC3339 field.

The acme.jose module was moved to its own package "josepy". Please refer to its documentation there.

ACME identifier type.
ACME identifier.
  • typ (IdentifierType) --
  • value (str) --
ACME error.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7807

Generic TLS Server.
Called by constructor to bind the socket.

May be overridden.

ACME server common settings mixin.
Base class for a pair of IPv6 and IPv4 servers that tries to do everything it's asked for both servers, but where failures in one server don't affect the other.

If two servers are instantiated, they will serve on the same port.

Wraps socketserver.TCPServer.serve_forever
Wraps socketserver.TCPServer.socket.getsockname
Wraps socketserver.TCPServer.shutdown, socketserver.TCPServer.server_close, and threading.Thread.join
TLSALPN01 Server.
Generic HTTP Server.
HTTP01 Server.
HTTP01Server Wrapper. Tries everything for both. Failures for one don't affect the other.
HTTP01 challenge handler.

Adheres to the stdlib's socketserver.BaseRequestHandler interface.

simple_http_resources (set) -- A set of HTTP01Resource objects. TODO: better name?
Alias for field number 0
Alias for field number 1
Alias for field number 2
The default timeout this server should apply to requests. :return: timeout to apply :rtype: int
Log arbitrary message.
Handle request.
Handle index page.
Handler 404 Not Found errors.
Handle HTTP01 provisioned resources.
Partially initialize this handler.

This is useful because socketserver.BaseServer takes uninitialized handler and initializes it with the current request.

ACME protocol implementation.

This module is an implementation of the ACME protocol.
