Automate your certificate management with ACME and SURF certificates
The shortened validity of TLS certificates requires automatic issuance and management. This webinar covers how the open ACME protocol works, how to implement it and what this means for your organisation with the new SURF certificate vendor.

Every institution uses TLS certificates to encrypt connections to web servers via HTTPS. Where previously a validity period of one year was common, this will be reduced to just 47 days in the coming years. This also applies to the validity of domain validations.
What this means for certificate management is pretty clear: automate, automate and automate. The short duration makes manual issuance and domain validation unworkable. That is why we use the open ACME protocol with EAB, which allows certificate issuance to be fully automated. This avoids dependence on specific suppliers. This approach is now supported by HARICA, the new supplier of SURF certificates.
In this webinar, we discuss:
- What is ACME and how does the technology work?
- What choices do you make in ACME-based certificate management?
- How do you implement ACME on your own servers and with suppliers?
- What are the bottlenecks when moving to shorter validity periods?
This webinar will be conducted via Microsoft Teams on 16 September from 11:00 - 12:00. The webinar will be in Dutch.
