Certificate.downloadChain API improvements about acme4j HOT 7 CLOSED

I have just released acme4j v1.1, which contains the changes. Thank you for the hint!

from acme4j.

You are right... Downloading and writing the certificate and chain is overly complicated.

Like you suggested, I have added a new method Certificate.downloadFullChain() that returns an array of the certificate and the issuer chain. A new method CertificateUtils.writeX509Certificates() writes it to a combined pem file.

I have also enhanced the javadocs and the documentation, so it should be clearer now what is returned by the individual download methods.

See commits 69fbe81 and d6b4a43.

Is it what you needed?

Thank you for the fast reply, that looks exactly how I expected. Special thanks for the enhancements in javadocs. 👍

Did this get dropped somewhere along the line? I'm using v2.7 but can't workout how to download the full chain. Looks like the CertificateUtils had all it's goodness stripped out?

Everything you need should have been moved into the Certificate object. You can get the certificate chain from Certificate.getCertificateChain() now. Certificate.writeCertificate() writes the certificate chain as PEM file.

If something is still missing for you, just let me know. 😄

Thanks for the response dude, I'm having a world of issues getting certs generated to work with Spring boot, rather than clutter up your issue tracker here I've opened a Stack overflow post - would you mind taking a quick glance to see if I've just made a mess of things? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55959315/spring-boot-and-lets-encrypt-no-cipher-suites-in-common

Thanks for the awesome library by the way - works a treat to generate certs :) (If only I knew how to use them!)

Your problem has been solved on Stack Overflow in the meantime?

Questions about using the certs with Tomcat (and now Spring Boot) are rather common. I should start to document them as well.
