Creating a Client

// Create a new ACME protocol client
var client = new ACME.Client({
  // ACME service URL
  baseUrl: 'https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org',
  // PEM encoded public key (required)
  publicKey: fs.readFileSync( 'public-key.pem', 'utf8' ),
  // PEM encoded private key (required)
  privateKey: fs.readFileSync( 'private-key.pem', 'utf8' ),
})

// Configure the client with the ACME server's directory
// NOTE: Optional, will be done on API if unconfigured
client.configure( function( error, directory ) {
  directory == {
    'new-authz': 'https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/new-authz',
    'new-cert': 'https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/new-cert',
