Crypt-LE The Crypt::LE module provides the functionality necessary to use Let's Encrypt API and generate free SSL certificates for your domains. It can also be used to generate private RSA (and from version 0.20 also ECC) keys or Certificate Signing Requests without resorting to openssl command line. COMPATIBILITY The code has been successfully tested on more than 500 combinations of OS and Perl versions. It should install and run fine on Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc. It also works on Mac OS X and Windows (tested with ActiveState and Strawberry Perl). In addition, if you are able to run docker containers, you can pull the latest client image from https://hub.docker.com/r/zerossl/client/. Docker image is lightweight and the client is run as a non-privileged user in a container. REQUIREMENTS LINUX: There are just 3 essential things which should be in place for the package to be successfully installed: "gcc", "make" and the SSL development package. The SSL development package name differs depending on Linux distribution and it can be either "libssl-dev" or "openssl-devel". WINDOWS: There are no requirements if Raspberry Perl is used. For ActiveState Perl you may need to install CPANminus first (business license users of ActiveState have direct access to Crypt::LE ppm). You can also use Windows binaries. See https://zerossl.com/installation.html for more details. INSTALLATION - With CPANminus cpanm Crypt::LE - With CPAN cpan -i Crypt::LE - Manual installation: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install - Windows installation (with Strawberry Perl) cpanm -f Log::Log4perl cpanm Crypt::LE Note: On Windows current version of the logging module needs to be installed with -f flag first if Strawberry Perl is used. PLUGINS Crypt::LE can be easily extended with custom plugins to handle Let's Encrypt challenges. See Crypt::LE::Challenge::Simple module as an example of such plugin. CLIENT Crypt::LE is shipped with a self-sufficient client for obtaining SSL certificates - le.pl. Run it without parameters to see how it is used. The client supports 'http' and 'dns' challenges out of the box. Usage example: le.pl --key account.key --csr domain.csr --csr-key domain.key --crt domain.crt --domains "www.domain.ext,domain.ext" --generate-missing That will generate an account key and a CSR if they are missing. If any of those files exists, they will just be loaded, so it is safe to re-run the client. The client application can be very easily extended with modules handling challenges and modules handling the process completion. For examples see Crypt::LE::Challenge::Simple and Crypt::LE::Complete::Simple. Related options of le.pl are: --handle-with --handle-params --handle-as --complete-with --complete-params Please note that parameters for --handle-params and --complete-params are expected to be valid JSON documents or to point to files containing valid JSON documents. Note: If you would like to receive expiration notifications for your domain, you can specify --email parameter and an appropriate email address during the initial registration of the account. Later, shall you want to change your email or specify more than one, you can use --update-contacts parameter to update your contact information. For example: le.pl --key account.key --update-contacts "one@email.address, another@email.address" PFX/P12 SUPPORT Windows binaries include export functions into PFX/P12 format, which is normally required by IIS. The export (in addition to saving certificates in PEM format) can be activated by specifying a PFX password with '--export-pfx' option.
