The Suomi.fi Data Exchange Layer is preparing for the introduction of the Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME)
With ACME, the current Authentication (auth) and Signing Certificates (sign) for Security Servers can be automatically renewed directly through the Security Server user interface.
Schedule:
- The ACME feature will be tested and piloted in the coming autumn and the end of 2025.
- Security Servers must be upgraded to version 7.5.1 or later by the end of 2025.
- ACME certificates will be introduced in all Suomi.fi Data Exchange Layer environments in early 2026.
- The validity period of Authentication Certificates for Security Servers in the Suomi.fi Data Exchange Layer will be reduced to six months in March 2026.
We will provide more detailed information about the ACME deployment schedule towards the end of 2025.
