Welcome to ASCEDS’s documentation!

Automated SSL Certificate Distribution System (ASCEDS) is a distribution system for certificates which can be obtained from a provider offering an ACME interface. The system defines a site containing:

• one certificate manager which can get SSL certificates for wilcard hostnames in a set of domains through certbot;

• a set of managed clients getting automatic certificate renewal or reconfiguration of SANs; services using certificates are reconfigured/restarted automatically upon renewal;

• a web interface handling certificates for managed or unmanaged clients.

ASCEDS was developed by Florin Manolache at Carnegie Mellon University for interfacing certbot with InCommon SSL certificates, and automatically distributing them to the servers on the network.

ASCEDS is released under GPLv2 or any later version.
