Let's Encrypt is een initiatief om zoveel mogelijk sites https-ondersteuning te geven door gratis ssl-certificaten te verstrekken en de implementatie makkelijker te maken. De meeste tools hiervoor zijn echter alleen beschikbaar vanaf de commandline. Certify SSL Manager biedt een grafische interface voor het aanvragen en beheren van deze certificaten op Windows Servers met IIS. De ontwikkelaars hebben versie 6.1.7 uitgebracht en sinds versie 6.1.0 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
Certify SSL Manager 6.1.7:
Fixes:
- UI: Fix status update UI streaming
- Tasks: Reverted SSH updates which caused dependency version problems and affected UI status streaming.
Certify SSL Manager 6.1.6:
Enhancements:
- DNS: Add NameSilo vis Posh-ACME
- UI: Remove View Dashboard option if not registered on dashboard
- UI: Delete dashboard reports if item removed in app
- Core: Additional exception logging
- Tasks: Update SSH support.
Certify SSL Manager 6.1.5:
Fixes:
- Tasks: Deploy to Generic Server, Apache, nginx, Tomcat and Export Certificate - fix task validation check when exporting using windows network UNC path.
Certify SSL Manager 6.1.4:
Enhancements:Fixes:
- DNS: WEDOS DNS provider via Posh-ACME.
- Tasks: Deploy to Generic Server, Apache, nginx, Tomcat and Export Certificate - fix issue with non-user accessible path setting causing issues with some exported components (e.g. full chain).
- ACME: Remove log warning if acme profile not selected, add DisableARIChecks setting for users who require a specific renewal interval.
Certify SSL Manager 6.1.3:
Enhancements:Fixes:
- Core & UI: Implement support for ACME named profiles (under Certificate > Advanced > Certificate Authority)
- DNS: Implement Porkbun and INWX DNS providers via Posh-ACME.
- DNS: Infoblox allow skipping of validation for self-signed server certs.
- DNS: Cloudflare use quoted TXT values
- ACME: skip re-use of existing order ID if previous attempt has failed (order expired by CA), skip ARI replaces when order has already failed.
Certify SSL Manager 6.1.2:
Enhancements:Fixes:
- DNS: Improve duplicate record handling with AWS Route 53
- DNS: Add support for PAT tokens in Gandi provider (via Posh-ACME)
- Tasks: Report file copy failures for CCS task
- API: Enable TLS 1.3 communication with CA API etc when possible.
Certify SSL Manager 6.1.1:
Enhancements:Fixes:
- Tasks: Add new task trigger type to run a task if any preceding task has failed (e.g. if a single deployment task in a set fails, perhaps send a notification or call an API).
- DNS: Add TencentDNS and ZoneEdit provider plugins from Posh-ACME.
- CA: Add GlobalSign Atlas as a Built-in CA option.
- ACME Accounts: support account pre-approval (EJBCA Enterprise etc) by optionally pre-generating a custom account key.
- CLI: Advanced option to Add/Update stored credentials for automation of credential changes.
- UI: Remove license activation notice in community edition for personal use.
- SSH: Improve SSH/SFTP compatibility when authenticating via password prompt.
- ARI: skip replaces operation in more situations when initial order fails (e.g. CA has changed).
- Installer: enable install on Arm64.
- Updates: Optionally quit app if an update is essential.
Certify SSL Manager 6.1.0:
Enhancements:Fixes:
- IIS Bindings: extended logging has been added to explain individual binding matches and binding additions/updates (for Preview and actual deployment). Existing IP specific bindings with SNI will now also retain the SNI settings where applicable.
- Renewals: New maximum of 1000 consecutive failed renewal attempts per managed item. This avoids incurring further unnecessary CA rate limits when an item can no longer successfully renew. Failed items can still be manually attempted with Request Certificate or can be removed.
- Tasks: Updated SSH compatibility
- Tasks: Set Private Key Permissions task was previously RSA only and now also handles Elliptic Curve key permissions.
- Core: ACME API operations are now throttled per-CA to 2 requests per second, which avoids request-per-seconds rate limits on certain CAs.
- SFTP: Fix for file copy bug which affected some file types (PEM etc) over SSH (bytes from previous file left over if new file was smaller).
- Export: skip PFX credential check if exporting as PFX as export will just be a file copy.
