Re: TLS Certificate Lifetime Now 200 Days

Thanks Daniel....

Like many OSS projects, this one was originally delayed due to limited 
time.  Now that I have a bit more time, it has been the challenge of 
determining when it is "done" enough to release.  My goal is to have 
something that will work, without too much effort, out of the box.  
IBM's project BOB has been super helpful in getting this ready for prime 
time.  I have a few more code tweaks, which are easy with BOB but then I 
need to document two different build approaches (it uses Java Servlets 
and Angular) and the install steps for IBM which is relatively easy if 
you are already running a supported Tomcat instance.

The devil is always in the details and I am trying to limit the devils 
influence here.  Also, there is a new ACME standard called 
DNS-PERSIST-01 that makes management a whole lot easier that I would 
like to support. I AM motivated to get this out because I am hopeful 
that others will want to contribute code and ideas which will make 
future maintenance easy.

What is driving the bus is that I am presenting a session at PowerUP in 
New Orleans next month and I'd like to have everything tidied up by 
then.  I'll post up here when my GitHub repo is updated.
