[2.197] - 2026-07-19

Added

• Named protocol URLs can be enabled on existing CAs — the opt-in previously available only at CA creation can now be enabled afterwards from the CRL & OCSP page (or PATCH /api/v2/cas/<id> with namedUrls). Auto-generated CDP/AIA URLs are rewritten to the slug form and newly issued certificates embed it; already-issued certificates keep their refid URLs, which continue to resolve. Enabling remains irreversible. (#207)

Fixed

• ACME proxy Link: rel="up" header — the authorization link returned on challenge responses doubled the /acme/proxy path segment, sending clients that re-poll their authorization (Traefik/lego) to a nonexistent URL. (#217)
• ACME proxy certificate download latency — DNS-01 TXT cleanup now runs in a background thread instead of blocking the certificate response on live DNS-provider API calls. (#218)
• ACME proxy order lookup on certificate download — the upstream certificate URL is now persisted on the proxy order when it first appears (finalize or order poll), so the download resolves its order with one indexed query instead of a live upstream round-trip per accumulated pending order. (#219)
• ACME proxy no longer forwards the upstream Link header — its rel="alternate" entries point directly at the real CA and cannot be authenticated by proxy clients; the preferred chain is already resolved server-side and served in the body. (#220)
• CRL & OCSP details panel layout — the "Full CRL Schedule" and "Delta CRL" blocks now render as framed sections, consistent with the rest of the panel.

[2.196] - 2026-07-18

Added

• ACME loopback upstream opt-in — a new toggle (Let's Encrypt settings / acme.client.allow_loopback_upstream, default off) allows the ACME client and proxy to reach an upstream CA on a loopback address (a colocated Pebble/step-ca on 127.0.0.1). Cloud-metadata targets remain blocked unconditionally.

Fixed

• Security-key (WebAuthn) login restored — after the per-user credential count was removed from /auth/methods (username-enumeration hardening), the login page stopped offering the security-key option and auto-attempt. The UI no longer depends on that count: it auto-attempts based on the device's saved method and always offers the security-key button when the browser supports it.
• WebAuthn username-enumeration oracle closed — POST /auth/login/webauthn/start returned a challenge only for users with a registered key (200) versus a 401 otherwise, and /verify used distinguishable errors. Both now return identical, well-formed responses for unknown, credential-less, and real users (a deterministic per-username decoy credential), removing the account-existence oracle.
• No default serverAuth EKU on issuing CAs — intermediate CAs created via the API without an explicit extendedKeyUsage were given a serverAuth EKU, which (via EKU chaining) invalidated clientAuth / emailProtection / OCSPSigning leafs issued beneath them, including delegated OCSP responders. Issuing CAs now have no EKU by default; constrain them explicitly via extendedKeyUsage.
• ACME proxy serves the preferred certificate chain — the per-account preferred chain was computed and stored but the upstream default chain was returned to the client; the selected chain is now the one delivered.
• ACME proxy order ownership binding — new-order and finalize now bind an order to the account resolved from the request kid, so a different account can no longer finalize someone else's order. The previous binding only took effect for JWK-signed requests, which RFC 8555 new-order/finalize never are.
• ACME DNS-01 self-check is advisory — a local resolver that cannot see the challenge TXT record (split-horizon or filtered egress DNS) no longer aborts renewal or proxy issuance before the challenge is submitted; the CA remains the authority. Set the propagation timeout to 0 to skip the pre-check entirely.
• SAN URI validation — the issuance/CSR forms now accept authority-less URIs (urn:, mailto:, did:), matching what the API already allowed.
• Account page PKCS#12 labels — two missing translation keys rendered as raw identifiers on the mTLS certificate export controls.
• Signed CSR history panel — clicking "View certificate" no longer throws a runtime error.
• ACME auto-renewal toggle persistence — the Let's Encrypt auto-renewal switch sent a field the API did not read, so the setting never saved; it now uses renewal_enabled.

Translations

• Completed the ACME "verbose logs" label and description across all locales.
