Input Implement a generic ACME client for TLS Certificate issuance and automatic renewal

[Mattia_98]

Hi,
the runtime for certificates is being reduced soon making manual renewal impossible.
Currently the ONLY way to automate certificate renewal on Plesk is by using the Let`s Encrypt extension using the official Let`s Encrypt ACME servers.
The other extensions for generating certificates via Sectigo etc do not allow automatic renewals.

Many CAs now offer their own ACME servers for automatic renewal of their certificate offerings, but Plesk offers no way of making use of them.
Please implement the ability to use arbitrary ACME back-ends for use on all CAs and not just Let`s Encrypt.

This is extremely important and should be implemented in Plesk within the next 12 or so months.

Thank you very much

I would like to remind the Plesk team and everyone else the current TLS certificate lifetime timeline:

• As of March 15, 2026, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate will be 200 days.
• As of March 15, 2027, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate will be 100 days.
• As of March 15, 2029, the maximum lifetime for a TLS certificate will be 47 days.

It is absolutely CRITICAL that this feature is implemented by March 15, 2026 so it can be properly tested and integrated into business processes.

Hi, we already have these requirements on our radar and are investigating it, at the moment I cannot provide an ETA for it.
Thank you for the post
