Description

Some CAs now use External Account Binding instead of typical Account Key registration, including:

  • ZeroSSL
  • SSL.com
  • Google
  • Actalis
  • StepCA (optional, depends on the server config)

This requires two fields:

"EAB Key ID" and "EAB HMAC Key"

These fields are used when registering the account initially via acme.sh, e.g.

acme.sh --register-account \
        --server <name> \
        --eab-kid <id> \
        --eab-hmac-key <hmac>

They should only be passed if the user filled them in. Let's Encrypt does not require them, other CAs do.
