# [acme-challenge-test](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/acme-challenge-test.js.git) | A [Root](https://rootprojects.org) Project The test harness you should use when writing an ACME challenge strategy for [ACME.js](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/acme-v2.js) and also [Greenlock](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/greenlock-express.js) v2.7+ (and v3). All implementations MUST pass these tests, which is a very easy thing to do (just `set()`, `get()`, and `remove()`). The tests account for single-domain certificates (`example.com`) as well as multiple domain certs (SAN / AltName), wildcards (`*.example.com`), and valid private / localhost certificates. As someone creating a challenge strategy that's not something you have to take special consideration for - just pass the tests. **Node v6 Support**: Please build community plugins using node v6 / vanillajs to ensure that all acme.js and greenlock.js users are fully supported. ## Install ```bash npm install --save-dev acme-challenge-test@3.x ``` ## Usage ```js var tester = require("acme-challenge-test"); //var challenger = require('acme-http-01-cli').create({}); //var challenger = require('acme-dns-01-cli').create({}); var challenger = require("./YOUR-CHALLENGE-STRATEGY").create({}); // The dry-run tests can pass on, literally, 'example.com' // but the integration tests require that you have control over the domain var domain = "example.com"; tester.test("http-01", domain, challenger).then(function() { console.info("PASS"); }); ``` ## Reference Implementations These are plugins that use the v2.7+ (v3) API, and pass this test harness, which you should use as a model for any plugins that you create. - [`acme-http-01-cli`](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/acme-http-01-cli.js) - [`acme-dns-01-cli`](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/acme-dns-01-cli.js) ## Example See `example.js` (it works). ## Starter Template Here's what you could start with. ```js var tester = require("acme-challenge-test"); // The dry-run tests can pass on, literally, 'example.com' // but the integration tests require that you have control over the domain var domain = "example.com"; tester.test("http-01", domain, { // Should set a TXT record for opts.dnsHost with opts.dnsAuthorization for opts.ttl || 300 set: function (opts) { console.log("set opts:", opts); throw new Error("set not implemented"); }, // Should remove the *one* TXT record for opts.dnsHost with opts.dnsAuthorization // Should NOT remove otherrecords for opts.dnsHost (wildcard shares dnsHost with non-wildcard) remove: function (opts) { console.log("remove opts:", opts); throw new Error("remove not implemented"); }, // Should get the record via the DNS server's API get: function (opts) { console.log("get opts:", opts); throw new Error("get not implemented"); } }).then(function() { console.info("PASS"); }); ``` ## dns-01 vs http-01 For `type` http-01: // `altname` is the name of the domain // `token` is the name of the file ( .well-known/acme-challenge/`token` ) // `keyAuthorization` is the contents of the file For `type` dns-01: // `dnsHost` is the domain/subdomain/host // `dnsAuthorization` is the value of the TXT record ## Detailed Overview Here's a quick pseudo stub-out of what a test-passing plugin object might look like: ```js tester.test('http-01', 'example.com', { set: function (opts) { var ch = opts.challenge; // { type: 'http-01' // or 'dns-01' // , identifier: { type: 'dns', value: 'example.com' } // , wildcard: false // , token: 'xxxx' // , keyAuthorization: 'xxxx.yyyy' // , dnsHost: '_acme-challenge.example.com' // , dnsAuthorization: 'zzzz' } return API.set(...); } , get: function (query) { var ch = query.challenge; // { type: 'http-01' // or 'dns-01', 'tls-alpn-01', etc // , identifier: { type: 'dns', value: 'example.com' } // // http-01 only // , token: 'xxxx' // , url: '...' // for testing and debugging // // dns-01 only, for testing / dubgging // , altname: '...' // , dnsHost: '...' // , wildcard: false } // Note: query.identifier.value is different for http-01 than for dns-01 return API.get(...).then(function (secret) { // http-01 return { keyAuthorization: secret }; // dns-01 //return { dnsAuthorization: secret }; }); } , remove: function (opts) { var ch = opts.challenge; // same options as in `set()` (which are not the same as `get()` return API.remove(...); } }).then(function () { console.info("PASS"); }); ``` ### Two notes: Note 1: The `API.get()`, `API.set()`, and `API.remove()` is where you do your magic up to upload a file to the correct location on an http serever, set DNS records, or add the appropriate data to the database that handles such things. Note 2: When `altname` is `foo.example.com` the `dnsHost` will be `_acme-challenge.foo.example.com` When `altname` is `*.foo.example.com` the `dnsHost` will _still_ be `_acme-challenge.foo.example.com` When `altname` is `bar.foo.example.com` the `dnsHost` will be `_acme-challenge.bar.foo.example.com`
