Add ZeroSSL

Generate a ZeroSSL EAB key pair from the ACME section of its dashboard and connect it to aethercert as a certificate authority.

ZeroSSL issues certificates over ACME but requires an external account binding key pair from its own dashboard first.

Its free tier caps at 100 certificates per account, which is worth knowing before you point a fleet at it.

1. Create an EAB key pair in ZeroSSL

2. Connect it in aethercert

3. Use it

Select this authority when creating a certificate under Build > Certificate Job.

If you reach the free tier's 100-certificate cap, either request an increase from ZeroSSL or add a second authority and split issuance between them. The cap is per ZeroSSL account, not per aethercert organization.
