[SOLVED] Issue while adding acme account with custom acme directory

[nico400]

Hey,

I want to add an ACME account with a custom directory (-> self hosted step-ca)
Because you cannot add an acme account with a non-letsencrypt directory via the GUI, I used the command line

on proxmox-back-server, I will get the following error:

root@pbs:~# proxmox-backup-manager acme account register default info@example.com --directory https://step-ca.host:9090/acme/acme/directory
Attempting to fetch Terms of Service from "https://step-ca.host:9090/acme/acme/directory"
Error: missing field `meta` at line 1 column 306
root@pbs:~#

So the error is, that proxmox-backup-server fails, if no Terms-Of-Service (=TOS) data is provided by the directory, because step-ca does not seem to have this feature with TOS.

But on proxmox VE 6 it is working (if TOS verification fails, but the account will be added anyway, which is what I also need on proxmox-backup-server):

root@hostname:~# pvenode acme account register default info@example.com --directory https://step-ca.host:9090/acme/acme/directory

Attempting to fetch Terms of Service from 'https://step-ca.host:9090/acme/acme/directory'..
No Terms of Service found, proceeding.

Attempting to register account with 'https://step-ca.host:9090/acme/acme/directory'..
Generating ACME account key..
Registering ACME account..
Registration successful, account URL: 'https://step-ca.host:9090/acme/acme/account/2uV*****ePN3sSt'
Task OK
root@hostname:~#

Question: How can I add an acme account on proxmox-backup-server with no TOS, so I will not get any errors?
Or is there an undocumented flag which skips the TOS check? (because I did not find anything to skip this TOS check)

this should be fixed with this https://git.proxmox.com/?p=proxmox-...ff;h=4c5d899c3aaea1f84aded5cb0eab365b241b2e05
and this: https://git.proxmox.com/?p=proxmox-...ff;h=9d42e0475b7a7f1710d5bd163686c8e7ccdfd379

but there is new version yet

Hi,
thanks for the answer, but I have a question:

is the fix from the git commands already available, so is a new version available? I have updated my packages, but it is still not working

But I noticed, the error message is different from the last time:

root@pbs:~# proxmox-backup-manager acme account register default info@example.com --directory https://step-ca.host:9090/acme/acme/directory
Attempting to fetch Terms of Service from "https://step-ca.host:9090/acme/acme/directory"
Error: missing field `meta` at line 1 column 261
root@pbs:~#

The difference is the location of the error
if went from line 1 column 306 to line 1 column 261

So I wonder if the fix did not fix the error or the fix is not available as an update yet, I which case I would like to know approximately when there will be an update?
