    enableDurationFeature
    bool
    (Optional)

    Enables requesting a Not After date on certificates that matches the duration of the certificate. This is not supported by all ACME servers like Let’s Encrypt. If set to true when the ACME server does not support it it will create an error on the Order. Defaults to false.

    string

    The URL to the ACME Authorization resource that this challenge is a part of.

    dnsName
    string

    dnsName is the identifier that this challenge is for, e.g. example.com. If the requested DNSName is a ‘wildcard’, this field MUST be set to the non-wildcard domain, e.g. for *.example.com, it must be example.com.

    bool
    (Optional)

    wildcard will be true if this challenge is for a wildcard identifier, for example ‘*.example.com’.

    type
    ACMEChallengeType

    The type of ACME challenge this resource represents. One of “HTTP-01” or “DNS-01”.

    token
    string

    The ACME challenge token for this challenge. This is the raw value returned from the ACME server.

    key
    string

    The ACME challenge key for this challenge For HTTP01 challenges, this is the value that must be responded with to complete the HTTP01 challenge in the format: <private key JWK thumbprint>.<key from acme server for challenge>. For DNS01 challenges, this is the base64 encoded SHA256 sum of the <private key JWK thumbprint>.<key from acme server for challenge> text that must be set as the TXT record content.

    solver
    ACMEChallengeSolver

    Contains the domain solving configuration that should be used to solve this challenge resource.

    issuerRef
    ObjectReference

    References a properly configured ACME-type Issuer which should be used to create this Challenge. If the Issuer does not exist, processing will be retried. If the Issuer is not an ‘ACME’ Issuer, an error will be returned and the Challenge will be marked as failed.

    ChallengeStatus

    (Appears on: Challenge)

    Field Description
    processing
    bool
    (Optional)

    Used to denote whether this challenge should be processed or not. This field will only be set to true by the ‘scheduling’ component. It will only be set to false by the ‘challenges’ controller, after the challenge has reached a final state or timed out. If this field is set to false, the challenge controller will not take any more action.

    presented
    bool
    (Optional)

    presented will be set to true if the challenge values for this challenge are currently ‘presented’. This does not imply the self check is passing. Only that the values have been ‘submitted’ for the appropriate challenge mechanism (i.e. the DNS01 TXT record has been presented, or the HTTP01 configuration has been configured).

    reason
    string
    (Optional)

    Contains human readable information on why the Challenge is in the current state.

    state
    State
    (Optional)

    Contains the current ‘state’ of the challenge. If not set, the state of the challenge is unknown.

    HMACKeyAlgorithm (string alias)

    (Appears on: ACMEExternalAccountBinding)

    HMACKeyAlgorithm is the name of a key algorithm used for HMAC encryption

    OrderSpec

    (Appears on: Order)

    Field Description
    request
    []byte

    Certificate signing request bytes in DER encoding. This will be used when finalizing the order. This field must be set on the order.

    issuerRef
    ObjectReference

    IssuerRef references a properly configured ACME-type Issuer which should be used to create this Order. If the Issuer does not exist, processing will be retried. If the Issuer is not an ‘ACME’ Issuer, an error will be returned and the Order will be marked as failed.

    commonName
    string
    (Optional)

    CommonName is the common name as specified on the DER encoded CSR. If specified, this value must also be present in dnsNames or ipAddresses. This field must match the corresponding field on the DER encoded CSR.

    dnsNames
    []string
    (Optional)

    DNSNames is a list of DNS names that should be included as part of the Order validation process. This field must match the corresponding field on the DER encoded CSR.

    ipAddresses
    []string
    (Optional)

    IPAddresses is a list of IP addresses that should be included as part of the Order validation process. This field must match the corresponding field on the DER encoded CSR.

    duration
    Kubernetes meta/v1.Duration
    (Optional)

    Duration is the duration for the not after date for the requested certificate. this is set on order creation as pe the ACME spec.

    OrderStatus

    (Appears on: Order)

    Field Description
    url
    string
    (Optional)

    URL of the Order. This will initially be empty when the resource is first created. The Order controller will populate this field when the Order is first processed. This field will be immutable after it is initially set.

    finalizeURL
    string
    (Optional)

    FinalizeURL of the Order. This is used to obtain certificates for this order once it has been completed.

    authorizations
    []ACMEAuthorization
    (Optional)

    Authorizations contains data returned from the ACME server on what authorizations must be completed in order to validate the DNS names specified on the Order.

    certificate
    []byte
    (Optional)

    Certificate is a copy of the PEM encoded certificate for this Order. This field will be populated after the order has been successfully finalized with the ACME server, and the order has transitioned to the ‘valid’ state.

    state
    State
    (Optional)

    State contains the current state of this Order resource. States ‘success’ and ‘expired’ are ‘final’

    reason
    string
    (Optional)

    Reason optionally provides more information about a why the order is in the current state.

    failureTime
    Kubernetes meta/v1.Time
    (Optional)

    FailureTime stores the time that this order failed. This is used to influence garbage collection and back-off.

    State (string alias)

    (Appears on: ACMEAuthorization, ChallengeStatus, OrderStatus)

    State represents the state of an ACME resource, such as an Order. The possible options here map to the corresponding values in the ACME specification. Full details of these values can be found here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-acme-acme-15#section-7.1.6 Clients utilising this type must also gracefully handle unknown values, as the contents of this enumeration may be added to over time.
