pfSense » pfSense Packages

I was unable to find a bug/issue/etc on this specific topic, so I'm submitting it as a Feature request.

When a user adds a certificate definition on the Services>Acme>Certificates page, the Key Size drop-down offers five options for generating a private key. I already have a private key, and I'd like to use it to configure pfSense to manage my certificate via letsencrypt.org

UI:¶

• Modify the UI on the acme_certificates_edit.php page, adding a Custom... option to the end of the Key Size list.
• Selecting Custom... would show a (previously hidden) Private Key edit field beneath the drop-down.
• Selecting any other Key Size would hide the Private Key edit field again.
• If visible, Private Key would be a required field.

Implementation:¶

• Like other user-entered data, the user-entered Private Key text would be stored in the configuration.
• The private-key-generation logic in acme.sh will be skipped if a private key was provided (specific details on this are TBD).
