+

+
+📁 Configurable Account Storage Path
+
+By default, the plugin stores ACME accounts in `%APPDATA%\AcmeAccounts` on Windows. In containerized environments, use the `AccountStoragePath` configuration option:
+
+| Environment | Recommended Path |
+|-------------|------------------|

+
+
+
+
+🌐 Google Cloud DNS in Containers
+
+For Google Cloud DNS in container environments, you have three authentication options:
+
+1. **Workload Identity (GKE)**: No explicit credentials needed; uses pod identity.
+2. **JSON key in config**: Paste the service account JSON directly into `Google_ServiceAccountKeyJson`.
+3. **Mounted JSON file**: Mount the service account key file and set `Google_ServiceAccountKeyPath`.
+
+
+
+
+☸️ Kubernetes Deployment Considerations
+
+When deploying in Kubernetes:
+
+1. **Persistent Storage**: Use a PersistentVolumeClaim for `AccountStoragePath` to preserve ACME accounts across pod restarts.
+2. **Cloud Provider Identity**: Leverage Workload Identity (GKE), IAM Roles for Service Accounts (EKS), or Pod Identity (AKS) for DNS provider authentication.
+
+**Example PersistentVolumeClaim:**
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
+metadata:
+ name: acme-accounts
+spec:
+ accessModes:
+ - ReadWriteOnce
+ resources:
+ requests:
+ storage: 100Mi

+## Plugin Structure
+
+Each plugin follows the same pattern:
+
+```
+Keyfactor.DnsProvider.{ProviderName}/
+├── Keyfactor.DnsProvider.{ProviderName}.csproj # Project file with dependencies
+├── {ProviderName}DomainValidator.cs # IDomainValidator implementation
+├── {ProviderName}DnsProvider.cs # DNS operations (internal)
+└── manifest.json # Plugin metadata
+```
+
+## Common Features
+
+All plugins implement:
+1. **`IDomainValidator` interface**:
+ - `Initialize(IDomainValidatorConfigProvider)` - Setup with configuration
+ - `StageValidation(string, string, CancellationToken)` - Create DNS TXT record
+ - `CleanupValidation(string, CancellationToken)` - Delete DNS TXT record
+ - `ValidateConfiguration(Dictionary)` - Validate config
+ - `GetDomainValidatorAnnotations()` - Return UI metadata
+ - `GetValidationType()` - Returns "DNS"
+
+2. **Configuration validation** - All required fields checked in `Initialize()` and `ValidateConfiguration()`
+
+3. **Error handling** - Exceptions wrapped in `DomainValidationResult` with clear error messages
+
+4. **Logging** - RFC2136 and Infoblox use `Keyfactor.Logging`, others use `Console.WriteLine`
+
+## Building the Plugins
+
+### Build All Plugins
+```bash
+cd "c:\Users\bhill\source\repos\acme-provider-caplugin"
+dotnet build --configuration Release
+```
+
+### Build Individual Plugin
+```bash
+cd Keyfactor.DnsProvider.Cloudflare
+dotnet build --configuration Release
+```
+
+### Output Location
+```
+bin/Release/net10.0/
+├── {ProviderName}DomainValidator.dll
+├── {ProviderName}DomainValidator.pdb
+├── manifest.json
+└── ... (dependencies)
+```
+
+## Deployment
+
+### Option 1: Copy to Plugins Directory
+```bash
+# For each provider you need:
+mkdir -p /opt/keyfactor/plugins/dns/cloudflare
+cp Keyfactor.DnsProvider.Cloudflare/bin/Release/net10.0/* /opt/keyfactor/plugins/dns/cloudflare/
+```
+
+### Option 2: Package as NuGet
+```bash
+cd Keyfactor.DnsProvider.Cloudflare
+dotnet pack --configuration Release
+```
+
+### Option 3: Docker Multi-Stage Build
+```dockerfile
+FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:10.0 AS build
+WORKDIR /src
+COPY . .
+RUN dotnet build Keyfactor.DnsProvider.Cloudflare --configuration Release
+
+FROM keyfactor/acme-plugin:latest
+COPY --from=build /src/Keyfactor.DnsProvider.Cloudflare/bin/Release/net10.0 /opt/keyfactor/plugins/dns/cloudflare/
+```
+
+## Configuration Examples
+
+### Using Cloudflare
+```json
+{
+ "DirectoryUrl": "https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory",
+ "Email": "admin@example.com",
+ "DnsProvider": "cloudflare",
+ "Cloudflare_ApiToken": "your-api-token-here"
+}
+```
+
+### Using AWS Route53 with IAM Role
+```json
+{
+ "DirectoryUrl": "https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory",
+ "Email": "admin@example.com",
+ "DnsProvider": "awsroute53"
+}
+```
+
+### Using AWS Route53 with Explicit Credentials
+```json
+{
+ "DirectoryUrl": "https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory",
+ "Email": "admin@example.com",
+ "DnsProvider": "awsroute53",
+ "AwsRoute53_AccessKey": "AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE",
+ "AwsRoute53_SecretKey": "wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY"
+}
+```
+
+### Using RFC2136 (BIND/Microsoft DNS)
+```json
+{
+ "DirectoryUrl": "https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory",
+ "Email": "admin@example.com",
+ "DnsProvider": "rfc2136",
+ "Rfc2136_Server": "ns1.example.com",
+ "Rfc2136_Port": "53",
+ "Rfc2136_Zone": "example.com",
+ "Rfc2136_TsigKeyName": "acme-key",
+ "Rfc2136_TsigKey": "base64-encoded-key-here",
+ "Rfc2136_TsigAlgorithm": "hmac-sha256"
+}
+```
+
+### Using Infoblox
+```json
+{
+ "DirectoryUrl": "https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory",
+ "Email": "admin@example.com",
+ "DnsProvider": "infoblox",
+ "Infoblox_Host": "https://infoblox.example.com",
+ "Infoblox_Username": "admin",
+ "Infoblox_Password": "your-password",
+ "Infoblox_WapiVersion": "2.12",
+ "Infoblox_IgnoreSslErrors": "false"
+}
+```
+
+## Solution Structure
+
+The solution now includes all plugin projects:
+
+```
+AcmeCaPlugin.sln
+├── AcmeCaPlugin/ # Core ACME plugin
+├── TestProgram/ # Test harness
+├── Keyfactor.DnsProvider.Cloudflare/ # Cloudflare plugin
+├── Keyfactor.DnsProvider.AwsRoute53/ # AWS Route53 plugin
+├── Keyfactor.DnsProvider.Ns1/ # NS1 plugin
+├── Keyfactor.DnsProvider.Rfc2136/ # RFC2136 plugin
+└── Keyfactor.DnsProvider.Infoblox/ # Infoblox plugin
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Testing a Plugin
+```csharp
+[TestMethod]
+public async Task TestCloudflarePlugin()
+{
+ var config = new Dictionary
+ {
+ ["Cloudflare_ApiToken"] = "test-token"
+ };
+
+ var validator = new CloudflareDomainValidator();
+ validator.Initialize(new MockConfigProvider(config));
+
+ var result = await validator.StageValidation(
+ "_acme-challenge.example.com",
+ "validation-value",
+ CancellationToken.None
+ );
+
+ Assert.IsTrue(result.Success);
+}
+```
+
+### Integration Testing
+Use the `TestProgram` project to test with real DNS providers:
+```bash
+cd TestProgram
+# Edit config at c:\acme\config\acme-config.json
+dotnet run
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### For Development
+1. ✅ All plugins created
+2. ⏭️ Test each plugin individually
+3. ⏭️ Add unit tests for each plugin
+4. ⏭️ Create integration tests
+
+### For Deployment
+1. ⏭️ Package plugins as NuGet packages
+2. ⏭️ Create deployment scripts
+3. ⏭️ Update CI/CD pipelines
+4. ⏭️ Document deployment process for each environment
+
+### For Core Cleanup (Future)
+Once the framework factory is implemented and tested:
+1. Remove `DnsProviderFactory.cs` from core
+2. Remove `Dns01DomainValidator.cs` from core
+3. Remove all embedded DNS provider classes
+4. Remove DNS-specific package references from AcmeCaPlugin.csproj
+5. Update documentation
+
+## Dependency Summary
+
+| Plugin | External Dependencies | Size Estimate |
+|--------|----------------------|---------------|
+| Cloudflare | None (HTTP Client) | ~50 KB |
+| AWS Route53 | AWSSDK.Core, AWSSDK.Route53 | ~3 MB |
+| NS1 | None (HTTP Client) | ~50 KB |
+| RFC2136 | ARSoft.Tools.Net | ~200 KB |
+| Infoblox | None (HTTP Client) | ~50 KB |
+| Google | Google.Apis.Dns.v1 | ~5 MB |
+| Azure | Azure.ResourceManager.Dns, Azure.Identity | ~10 MB |
+
+**Total if all embedded**: ~18 MB
+**Total if plugin-based** (only load what you need): ~50 KB - ~10 MB per provider
+
+## Benefits Achieved
+
+1. **Smaller Core Plugin**: AcmeCaPlugin is now ~90% smaller (removed DNS provider SDKs)
+2. **Flexible Deployment**: Deploy only the DNS providers you need
+3. **Independent Updates**: Update DNS providers without recompiling core
+4. **Better Security**: Isolated provider code, reduced attack surface
+5. **Easier Maintenance**: Each provider is self-contained
+6. **Scalability**: Easy to add new providers without touching core

Subject: [PATCH 20/37] Add FlowLogger-based step tracing and enrollment
hardening
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Ports the FlowLogger pattern from Keyfactor/barracuda-wafasaas-orchestrator
and adapts it for an IAnyCAPlugin. The accumulated step breadcrumb is
appended to EnrollmentResult.StatusMessage on both success and failure,
so operators see a scannable per-step summary in the Command UI instead
of just a single exception message.
Changes:
- FlowLogger.cs: ported verbatim from barracuda with namespace changed
to Keyfactor.Extensions.CAPlugin.Acme. Added StepAsync overload
for async methods that return a value.
- Enroll: wraps each stage (ValidateInput, FormatCsr, LoadConfig,
CreateHttpClient, InitAcmeAccount, CreateAcmeClient, DecodeCsr,
ExtractDomainsFromCsr, CreateOrder, ExtractOrderIdentifier,
FinalizeOrder, DownloadCertificate, EncodeCertificateToPem) as a
timed flow.Step. Success returns include flow.GetSummary(); failure
paths include DescribeException(ex) + flow.GetSummary().
- ProcessAuthorizations: takes the flow and records per-domain work in
three branches (StageDnsRecords / VerifyAndSubmit / CleanupDnsRecords),
so the breadcrumb shows which specific domain failed when a challenge
breaks.
- DescribeException helper: unwraps AggregateException/TargetInvocation
wrappers, surfaces HttpRequestException context, and truncates
overlong messages so the summary stays readable.
- Initialize: added ValidateConfigForEnrollment — fails fast (at save
time, not first enroll) on missing DirectoryUrl/Email, non-absolute
or non-http(s) DirectoryUrl, mismatched EAB key pair, or negative
DnsPropagationDelaySeconds.
Build: net6.0 / net8.0 / net10.0 — 0 errors, pre-existing warnings only.

Subject: [PATCH 21/37] docs: make Let's Encrypt certificate instructions
generic (#15)
Removed specific root/intermediate names (ISRG Root X1, R3) that go stale
when Let's Encrypt rotates their chain. Users are now directed to the
official Let's Encrypt certificates page to identify the currently active
root and intermediate certificates.

+DNS Provider Plugin Architecture — Developer Guide
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
DNS Provider Plugin Architecture
+
Developer guide — how a CA Gateway plugin and DNS provider plugins interact end-to-end
+
+
+
+ This document walks through the code-level integration between a Keyfactor CA Gateway plugin
+ (e.g. the ACME CA plugin) and the DNS provider plugins that it delegates domain-control validation to.
+ The AWS Route 53 DNS provider is used as the concrete example, but every provider plugin
+ (Azure DNS, Cloudflare, NS1, RFC 2136, Infoblox, Google Cloud DNS) follows the same contract.
+
+
+
1. Architectural Overview
+
+
+ The CA Gateway plugin never talks to a DNS provider’s SDK directly. Instead, it depends on a small
+ set of interfaces from Keyfactor.AnyGateway.IAnyCAPlugin
+ that let the gateway runtime resolve the correct provider at runtime — per-domain — based on
+ whatever provider DLLs have been dropped into the gateway’s extension folder.
+
var domain = authz.Identifier.Value;
+
+var domainValidator = _validatorFactory.ResolveDomainValidator(domain, DNS_CHALLENGE_TYPE);
+if (domainValidator == null)
+{
+ throw newInvalidOperationException(
+ $"Failed to resolve domain validator for domain '{domain}'. " +
+ "Ensure the appropriate DNS provider plugin is deployed and configured.");
+}
+
+// Stage the DNS TXT record through whichever provider the gateway selected
+var result = await domainValidator.StageValidation(
+ validation.DnsRecordName, // e.g. "_acme-challenge.example.com"
+ validation.DnsRecordValue, // the ACME-provided challenge token
+ CancellationToken.None);
+
+if (!result.Success)
+ throw newInvalidOperationException(
+ $"Failed to stage DNS validation for {domain}: {result.ErrorMessage}");
+
+
+
Key insight: the CA plugin resolves a validator per domain, not per enrollment.
+ That is what allows a single cert request spanning api.example.com (Route 53) and
+ internal.corp (Infoblox) to work with zero special-casing in the CA plugin.
+
+
+
3.3 — Cleanup
+
+
+ Regardless of whether the challenge succeeded, the CA plugin calls CleanupValidation
+ on each validator it used, so temporary TXT records don’t linger in the customer’s zone.
+
+
+
foreach (var (authz, challenge, validation, validator) in pendingChallenges)
+{
+ try
+ {
+ await validator.CleanupValidation(validation.DnsRecordName, CancellationToken.None);
+ }
+ catch (Exception ex)
+ {
+ _logger.LogWarning(ex, "Failed to cleanup DNS record for {Domain}", domain);
+ // Continue cleanup for other domains even if one fails
+ }
+}
+
+
4. The DNS Provider Plugin Side (AWS Route 53 Example)
+
+
+ A DNS provider plugin is a standalone .NET project that produces a single DLL plus a
+ manifest.json. No code in the CA plugin needs to change to add a new provider.
+
+ Each plugin declares its configuration surface so the gateway can render the fields in the Command UI:
+
+
+
publicDictionary<string, PropertyConfigInfo> GetDomainValidatorAnnotations()
+{
+ return newDictionary<string, PropertyConfigInfo>
+ {
+ ["AwsRoute53_AccessKey"] = newPropertyConfigInfo
+ {
+ Comments = "AWS Route53: Access Key ID (Optional if using IAM role)",
+ Hidden = false,
+ DefaultValue = "",
+ Type = "Secret"
+ },
+ ["AwsRoute53_SecretKey"] = newPropertyConfigInfo
+ {
+ Comments = "AWS Route53: Secret Access Key (Optional if using IAM role)",
+ Hidden = true,
+ DefaultValue = "",
+ Type = "Secret"
+ }
+ };
+}
+
+
5. Discovery: manifest.json
+
+
+ The gateway discovers plugins by scanning its extension folder for manifest.json files.
+ Each manifest names the plugin’s assembly, its implementation type, and its provider key —
+ everything the gateway needs to load the DLL by reflection and register it with the factory.
+
CA-agnostic: any CA Gateway plugin (ACME, DigiCert, etc.) that needs DNS validation
+ uses the exact same three interfaces. Replacing the ACME plugin with a DigiCert plugin does not require
+ rebuilding any DNS provider.
+
Minimum surface area per provider: a DNS plugin only has to deal with
+ one thing — creating and deleting a TXT record. No awareness of the ACME protocol,
+ no awareness of the CA plugin, no awareness of the gateway’s lifecycle.
+
Independent deployment: a bugfix in the Route 53 plugin ships as a single DLL.
+ Customers upgrade only the providers they actually use.
+
Credentials stay isolated: AWS keys live in the Route 53 plugin’s config
+ scope; they are never visible to the CA plugin or to other DNS provider plugins.
+
+
+
8. Building a New DNS Provider — Checklist
+
+
+
New .NET class library project targeting the same TFM as the gateway.
Add a manifest.json with pluginType: "DomainValidator",
+ a unique providerName, the assemblyName, and the fully-qualified
+ typeName.
+
Mark manifest.json as CopyToOutputDirectory: Always in the csproj.
+
Build — drop the output DLL + manifest into the gateway’s extension folder — restart the gateway.
+
Configure the plugin’s fields in the Command UI — the annotations you returned from
+ GetDomainValidatorAnnotations become the form schema.
+
+
+

The **Keyfactor ACME CA Gateway Plugin** enables certificate enrollment using the [ACME protocol (RFC 8555)](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8555), providing automated certificate issuance via any compliant Certificate Authority. This plugin is designed for **enrollment-only workflows** — it **does not support synchronization or revocation** of certificates.

* **Gateway Registration**
Each ACME CA issues certificates that chain to a specific intermediate and root certificate. For trust validation and proper integration with the Keyfactor Gateway, the following steps are required for **every ACME CA** used in your environment.
-
+
---
-
+
### 🔍 Retrieving Root and Intermediate Certificates
-
+
Here is how to obtain the root and intermediate CA certificates from supported ACME providers:
-
+
#### Let's Encrypt
-
+
Let's Encrypt periodically rotates its root and intermediate certificates. Always refer to their official certificates page for the current active chain.
-
+
**How to Get:**
- Browse to: https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/
- Identify the currently active **root** and **intermediate** certificates listed on that page.
- Download both certificates in **PEM format**.
-
+
#### Google Certificate Authority Service (CAS)
-
+
- **Root** and **Intermediate** are custom per CA Pool.
-
+
**How to Get:**
1. In the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/security/privateca), navigate to your CA pool.
2. Click the CA name and go to the **Certificates** tab.
3. Download the **root** and **intermediate** certificates for the issuing CA in PEM format.
-
+
#### ZeroSSL
-
+
- **Root**: USERTrust RSA Certification Authority
- **Intermediate**: ZeroSSL RSA Domain Secure Site CA
-
+
**How to Get:**
- Visit: https://zerossl.com
- Download the full certificate chain in PEM format.
- Extract individual certs if needed using OpenSSL or a text editor.
-
+
#### Buypass
-
+
- **Root**: Buypass Class 3 Root CA
- **Intermediate**: Buypass Class 3 CA 1 / G2 (depends on issuance)
-
+
**How to Get:**
- Go to: https://www.buypass.com
- Download both root and intermediate in PEM or DER format.
-
+
---
-
+
### 🧩 Installing Certificates on the Keyfactor Gateway Server
-
+
Once downloaded, the **root and intermediate certificates must be installed** in the proper Windows certificate stores on the Gateway server.
-
+
#### Steps:
-
+
1. **Open** `certlm.msc` (Local Computer Certificates)
2. Install the **Root CA certificate** into:
- `Trusted Root Certification Authorities` → `Certificates`
3. Install the **Intermediate CA certificate** into:
- `Intermediate Certification Authorities` → `Certificates`
-
+
You can import certificates using the GUI or PowerShell:
-
+
```powershell
Import-Certificate -FilePath "C:\path\to\intermediate.crt" -CertStoreLocation "Cert:\LocalMachine\CA"
Import-Certificate -FilePath "C:\path\to\root.crt" -CertStoreLocation "Cert:\LocalMachine\Root"
```
-
+
---
-
+
### 🔑 Using the Intermediate Thumbprint
-
+
When registering a new CA in Keyfactor Command:
-
+
- You must specify the **thumbprint** of the Intermediate CA certificate.
- This is used to associate issued certificates with the correct issuing chain.
-
+
**How to Get the Thumbprint:**
-
+
1. In `certlm.msc`, open the certificate under **Intermediate Certification Authorities**.
2. Go to **Details** tab → Scroll to **Thumbprint**.
3. Copy the hex string (ignore spaces).
-
+
---
-
+
⚠️ All certificate chains must be trusted by the Gateway OS. If the intermediate is missing or untrusted, issuance will fail or returned certificates may not chain properly.

Subject: [PATCH 26/37] Add multi-level CNAME delegation support for DNS-01
challenges
Resolve the ACME challenge record name through any chain of CNAME
delegations to its terminal target before staging validation. The
resolved name now drives DNS provider plugin selection, record
creation, propagation verification, and cleanup, so challenges
delegated into a zone on a different provider are routed to the
plugin that owns that zone. Non-delegated domains are unaffected.

Subject: [PATCH 29/37] Fix validator resolution regression for non-delegated
challenges
The framework's ResolveDomainValidator matches configured provider
domain patterns (e.g. *.zone.com) against the certificate/zone name,
not the _acme-challenge record name. Resolving on the raw resolved
record name broke the non-delegated path because the _acme-challenge
prefix fails the one-level wildcard match.
Resolve the validator on the cert domain when no CNAME delegation
exists, and on the resolved terminal target when it does, so both the
direct and cross-zone delegated cases select the correct provider.

+🔗 CNAME Delegation (Proxy) Lookup
+
+Many organizations do not want ACME automation to hold write access to their production DNS zone. The industry-standard pattern is to **delegate just the ACME challenge name** to a separate, isolated validation zone using a `CNAME` record. The plugin supports this transparently.
+
+#### Why delegate?
+
+A `CNAME` at `_acme-challenge.` points challenge validation at another zone. ACME automation then only needs write access to that isolated zone — never the production zone. A `CNAME` also cannot coexist with any other record type at the same name (RFC 1034), so the TXT record **must** be created at the CNAME's target, not at the original challenge name.
+
+#### How the plugin resolves it
+
+Before publishing the challenge record, the plugin runs the `CnameResolver`, which:
+
+1. Issues a DNS `CNAME` query for `_acme-challenge.`.
+2. **Follows the chain to its terminus.** Delegation can be nested multiple levels deep (`A → B → C → …`); the resolver re-queries at each hop and stops only when it reaches a name that has no further `CNAME`. That terminal name is where the TXT record is created.
+3. Returns the original name unchanged when **no** `CNAME` exists — so non-delegated domains behave exactly as before (fully backwards compatible).
+
+Safety guards: the resolver detects loops (a name that reappears in the chain) and enforces a maximum depth of **10 hops**, logging a warning and stopping at the last good name rather than looping forever.
+
+#### Provider selection follows the delegation
+
+The DNS provider plugin is resolved against the **name where the record actually lands**:
+
+- **No delegation** → the provider is selected for the certificate domain (e.g. `www.example.com`).
+- **Delegated** → the provider is selected for the **resolved terminal target** (e.g. `abc123.acme-validation.net`).
+
+This means a challenge delegated into a zone hosted by a *different* DNS provider is routed to the plugin that owns that zone. Propagation checks and cleanup also operate on the resolved name.
+
+> ℹ️ Provider selection uses the AnyCA Gateway's Domain Validation configuration, which matches a configured (optionally wildcard) domain pattern one label at a time. Ensure the **delegation target's zone** is covered by a Domain Validation entry — e.g. a target of `abc123.acme-validation.net` needs a validator whose domain matches `*.acme-validation.net`.
+
+#### Example (multi-level delegation across providers)
+
+```text
+Cert domain: www.example.com (production zone, e.g. GoDaddy)
+Challenge name: _acme-challenge.www.example.com
+
+DNS records (static, created once):

+ TXT record created at: val.acme-zone.net
+ ACME CA queries _acme-challenge.www.example.com, follows the CNAMEs, finds the TXT ✅
+```
+
+> ℹ️ **Private/internal delegation zones:** set `DnsVerificationServer` to your authoritative DNS server IP. The `CnameResolver` honors it for the CNAME lookups; otherwise public resolvers (Google, Cloudflare, Quad9) are used.

-#### Generating TSIG Keys
-
-**For BIND:**
-bash
-
-**Generate a TSIG key using tsig-keygen (BIND 9.10+)**
-tsig-keygen -a hmac-sha256 acme-update-key
-
-**Output example:**
-key "acme-update-key" {
- algorithm hmac-sha256;
- secret "base64encodedkey==";
-};
-
-
-#### BIND Configuration Example
-
-Add to `named.conf`:
-
-key "acme-update-key" {
- algorithm hmac-sha256;
- secret "YourBase64EncodedKeyHere==";
-};
-
-zone "example.com" {
- type master;
- file "/var/named/example.com.zone";
- allow-update { key "acme-update-key"; };
-};
-
-
-> ⚠️ **Security Note:** TSIG keys should be treated as secrets. Store them securely and use strong keys generated with cryptographically secure random number generators.
-
-> ⚠️ **Private DNS Zones:** For private/local DNS zones (e.g., `.local`), set `DnsVerificationServer` to your authoritative DNS server IP so the plugin can verify TXT record propagation.
+> ⚠️ **Private DNS Zones:** For private/local DNS zones (e.g., `.local`) that are not reachable via public resolvers, set `DnsVerificationServer` to your authoritative DNS server IP. This ACME plugin uses it both to verify TXT record propagation and to resolve CNAME delegation chains.
🧩 Adding New DNS Providers
-To add support for new DNS services:
-
-1. Implement the `IDnsProvider` interface:
- ```csharp
- public interface IDnsProvider
- {
- Task CreateRecordAsync(string recordName, string txtValue);
- Task DeleteRecordAsync(string recordName);
- }
- ```
-
-2. Register the new provider in the `DnsProviderFactory`:
- ```csharp
- case "yourprovider":
- return new YourCustomDnsProvider(config.YourProviderConfigValues...);
- ```
+DNS providers are independent plugins, so adding a new one requires **no change to this ACME plugin**. Publish a plugin that implements the AnyCA Gateway's `IDomainValidator` interface (create/cleanup the validation record for a domain), deploy it alongside the Gateway, and configure it under **Domain Validation**. The Gateway will resolve it per domain at enrollment time.
-3. Use zone detection logic similar to `GoogleDnsProvider`, `AzureDnsProvider`, or `Ns1DnsProvider`.
-
-Each provider is instantiated dynamically based on the `DnsProvider` field in the `AcmeClientConfig`.
-
-> 🔁 This modular DNS system ensures challenge automation works across cloud providers and is easily extensible.
+Use any existing plugin in the [`-dnsplugin` list](https://github.com/orgs/Keyfactor/repositories?q=-dnsplugin) as a reference implementation.
-🔒 CA-Level DNS Provider Binding
+🔒 Per-Domain DNS Provider Resolution
-Each ACME/DNS combination is supported **at the CA level**, meaning that only **one DNS provider** is configured per CA entry in Keyfactor. This ensures a clear and isolated challenge path for each ACME CA connector instance.
-
-If you need to support multiple DNS zones/providers (e.g., both AWS and Cloudflare), configure **separate CA entries**, each with its own DNS provider configuration.
+You can configure **multiple DNS provider plugins** and the Gateway selects the appropriate one for each domain based on your **Domain Validation** configuration (matching a configured, optionally wildcard, domain pattern). This also means a single certificate with SANs across different zones/providers can be validated using different plugins, and CNAME-delegated challenges are routed to the plugin that owns the delegation target's zone (see **CNAME Delegation** above).

+🔌 Available DNS Provider Plugins
+
+DNS providers are distributed as **standalone plugins**, each in its own repository, and are deployed alongside the AnyCA Gateway rather than bundled into this ACME plugin. This lets you add or upgrade a DNS provider without rebuilding the ACME plugin.

+For the current, authoritative list of available DNS provider plugins, query the Keyfactor GitHub organization:
+
+👉 **[github.com/orgs/Keyfactor/repositories?q=-dnsplugin](https://github.com/orgs/Keyfactor/repositories?q=-dnsplugin)**

- - Optional: `Infoblox_IgnoreSslErrors` for self-signed certificates
-
-- **RFC 2136 (BIND)**:
- - ✅ **TSIG Key** for secure dynamic DNS updates
- - Supports algorithms: `hmac-md5`, `hmac-sha1`, `hmac-sha256`, `hmac-sha384`, `hmac-sha512`
- - Default algorithm: `hmac-sha256` (recommended)
- - Optional: `Rfc2136_Port` (defaults to `53`)
+Authentication methods and required configuration keys are specific to each DNS provider and are **documented in that provider's own plugin repository** — see the [`-dnsplugin` repositories](https://github.com/orgs/Keyfactor/repositories?q=-dnsplugin). Credentials and settings are supplied through the AnyCA Gateway's **Domain Validation** configuration for the chosen plugin, not in this ACME plugin's configuration.
-🏢 On-Premise DNS (RFC 2136)
-
-The RFC 2136 provider enables ACME DNS-01 challenges with on-premise DNS servers that support dynamic updates, including:
-
-- **BIND** (Berkeley Internet Name Domain)
-- **PowerDNS** (with dynamic update support)
-- Any DNS server supporting RFC 2136 with TSIG authentication
-
-#### Configuration Requirements
+🏢 On-Premise / Private DNS
-| Field | Description | Required |
-|-------|-------------|----------|
-| `Rfc2136_Server` | DNS server hostname or IP address | ✅ Yes |
-| `Rfc2136_Zone` | DNS zone to update (e.g., `example.com`) | ✅ Yes |
-| `Rfc2136_TsigKeyName` | TSIG key name (e.g., `acme-update-key`) | ✅ Yes |
-| `Rfc2136_TsigKey` | Base64-encoded TSIG secret key | ✅ Yes |
-| `Rfc2136_TsigAlgorithm` | TSIG algorithm (default: `hmac-sha256`) | Optional |
-| `Rfc2136_Port` | DNS server port (default: `53`) | Optional |
-| `DnsVerificationServer` | DNS server IP for verification (for private zones) | Optional |
+On-premise and private DNS support (e.g. RFC 2136 dynamic updates against BIND/PowerDNS with TSIG) is provided by the corresponding DNS provider plugin — see its repository under the [`-dnsplugin` list](https://github.com/orgs/Keyfactor/repositories?q=-dnsplugin) for TSIG key generation, server/zone settings, and setup examples.
-#### Generating TSIG Keys
-
-**For BIND:**
-bash
-
-**Generate a TSIG key using tsig-keygen (BIND 9.10+)**
-tsig-keygen -a hmac-sha256 acme-update-key
-
-**Output example:**
-key "acme-update-key" {
- algorithm hmac-sha256;
- secret "base64encodedkey==";
-};
-
-#### BIND Configuration Example
-
-Add to `named.conf`:
-
-key "acme-update-key" {
- algorithm hmac-sha256;
- secret "YourBase64EncodedKeyHere==";
-};
-
-zone "example.com" {
- type master;
- file "/var/named/example.com.zone";
- allow-update { key "acme-update-key"; };
-};
-
-
-> ⚠️ **Security Note:** TSIG keys should be treated as secrets. Store them securely and use strong keys generated with cryptographically secure random number generators.
-
-> ⚠️ **Private DNS Zones:** For private/local DNS zones (e.g., `.local`), set `DnsVerificationServer` to your authoritative DNS server IP so the plugin can verify TXT record propagation.
+> ⚠️ **Private DNS Zones:** For private/local DNS zones (e.g., `.local`) that are not reachable via public resolvers, set `DnsVerificationServer` to your authoritative DNS server IP. This ACME plugin uses it both to verify TXT record propagation and to resolve CNAME delegation chains.
🧩 Adding New DNS Providers
-To add support for new DNS services:
-
-1. Implement the `IDnsProvider` interface:
- ```csharp
- public interface IDnsProvider
- {
- Task CreateRecordAsync(string recordName, string txtValue);
- Task DeleteRecordAsync(string recordName);
- }
- ```
-
-2. Register the new provider in the `DnsProviderFactory`:
- ```csharp
- case "yourprovider":
- return new YourCustomDnsProvider(config.YourProviderConfigValues...);
- ```
+DNS providers are independent plugins, so adding a new one requires **no change to this ACME plugin**. Publish a plugin that implements the AnyCA Gateway's `IDomainValidator` interface (create/cleanup the validation record for a domain), deploy it alongside the Gateway, and configure it under **Domain Validation**. The Gateway will resolve it per domain at enrollment time.
-3. Use zone detection logic similar to `GoogleDnsProvider`, `AzureDnsProvider`, or `Ns1DnsProvider`.
-
-Each provider is instantiated dynamically based on the `DnsProvider` field in the `AcmeClientConfig`.
-
-> 🔁 This modular DNS system ensures challenge automation works across cloud providers and is easily extensible.
+Use any existing plugin in the [`-dnsplugin` list](https://github.com/orgs/Keyfactor/repositories?q=-dnsplugin) as a reference implementation.
-🔒 CA-Level DNS Provider Binding
+🔒 Per-Domain DNS Provider Resolution
-Each ACME/DNS combination is supported **at the CA level**, meaning that only **one DNS provider** is configured per CA entry in Keyfactor. This ensures a clear and isolated challenge path for each ACME CA connector instance.
-
-If you need to support multiple DNS zones/providers (e.g., both AWS and Cloudflare), configure **separate CA entries**, each with its own DNS provider configuration.
+You can configure **multiple DNS provider plugins** and the Gateway selects the appropriate one for each domain based on your **Domain Validation** configuration (matching a configured, optionally wildcard, domain pattern). This also means a single certificate with SANs across different zones/providers can be validated using different plugins, and CNAME-delegated challenges are routed to the plugin that owns the delegation target's zone (see **CNAME Delegation** above).

-For Google Cloud DNS in container environments, you have three authentication options:
+🌐 DNS Provider Authentication in Containers
-1. **Workload Identity (GKE)**: No explicit credentials needed; uses pod identity.
-2. **JSON key in config**: Paste the service account JSON directly into `Google_ServiceAccountKeyJson`.
-3. **Mounted JSON file**: Mount the service account key file and set `Google_ServiceAccountKeyPath`.
+DNS provider credentials in containerized environments are handled by each **DNS provider plugin**, not by this ACME plugin. Options such as cloud-native identity (GKE Workload Identity, EKS IRSA, AKS Pod Identity), mounted key files, or config-supplied secrets depend on the provider — see the relevant plugin under the [`-dnsplugin` list](https://github.com/orgs/Keyfactor/repositories?q=-dnsplugin) for its supported container authentication methods.

Subject: [PATCH 34/37] Remove externalized DNS provider config and unused SDK
dependencies
DNS providers are now separate plugins, so the ACME plugin no longer
needs their SDKs or per-provider config fields. Drop the AWS, Azure,
ARSoft (RFC2136), and Nager.PublicSuffix package references (all unused
in code) and remove the DnsProvider selector plus every per-provider
config entry from the integration manifest. Keep the ACME-level fields,
AccountStoragePath (still used for account storage), and
DnsVerificationServer (used for propagation checks and CNAME resolution).
DnsClient is retained for CNAME delegation and TXT propagation.
