Beta · ACME connector for ADCS

Stop managing
certificates manually.

Your Windows machines already get certificates automatically through Group Policy. Your Linux servers, proxies, and containers don't. Certeasy fixes that: it turns your existing ADCS into an ACME endpoint so certbot, acme.sh, Caddy and any standard client can request and renew certificates automatically, without touching your PKI.

The problem today

Active Directory takes care of Windows machines: certificates land automatically via Group Policy, no one thinks about it. Linux servers, reverse proxies, load balancers, and containers are left out. Teams fill the gap with manual processes, custom scripts, and inconsistent tooling — until something expires.

🧩
Two-speed PKI Windows is covered. Everything else is not. The result: manual certificates, bespoke scripts, and a different process for every platform.
💸
Complex & costly tools Existing products are often oversized, expensive, or poorly integrated with ADCS.
🔗
No unified standard Very few tools provide a clean ACME workflow for internal PKI — without relying on a cloud service.

The real cost of manual certificate management

In most organizations, certificates are renewed every one to two years — manually, when someone remembers or when an alert fires. Around 30 minutes for an experienced engineer who knows the stack. Several hours when the task crosses team boundaries: the person who generates the CSR is not the one who approves it in ADCS, who is not the one who deploys it. Each handoff means a ticket, a wait, a meeting. With just a few servers, the time lost already exceeds the cost of Certeasy.

⏱️
Time that adds up fast 30 minutes for someone who knows what they're doing. A half-day when it crosses three teams. At 20 servers renewed every two years, the bill is significant before the first incident.
🚨
When a certificate expires Outage, alert at 2am, multiple engineers pulled in, escalation. A single incident typically costs more than a full year of Certeasy.
✅
With Certeasy Certificates renew automatically every 90 days, 30 days before expiry. Shorter-lived certificates also mean a smaller exposure window if a key is ever compromised.
Even the Enterprise plan pays for itself on the first renewal cycle. At €999/year, it costs less than two days of an engineer's time. On any infrastructure where certificates cross team boundaries, the break-even is a handful of servers. And the security improvement comes free with it.

Certeasy: ACME on top of ADCS

A full ACME server that communicates directly with your ADCS. You keep using your internal PKI, templates, and policies — but through standard ACME clients.

V1Public Beta
Simple to deploy Single binary, no database required. Install on an internal server, connect to ADCS, and issue your first certificate in under an hour. Supports HTTP-01, DNS-01 and TLS-ALPN-01.
V2Distributed validators
For complex networks Deploy lightweight validation agents across VLANs and DMZs — ADCS stays internal, validation happens where it needs to.
V3Dashboard & discovery
Full certificate visibility Inventory, expiration alerts, network scanning, and complete insight into your internal certificates.

Sovereignty & full control
