I worry that removing this could break some important behavior. Are you sure the new CheckAccountTOS() preserves this?

According to my GoLand, newAcmeClientWithAccount was only used in doIssue and revoke. I have added the necessary checks for those in lines in acmemanager.go lines 336-338 and 454-456. And since it's a private function, it should cover all usecases as far as I understand golang.

As for the logic, the only change is that client.account.TermsOfServiceAgreed is no longer taken to be agreed by default, but instead use whatever the accountmanager option is set to (default is false if I understand correctly). I believe this is a safer choice so that the application manages if there are implicit TOS acceptance or not.

In the past we've been bitten in major ways by being less careful with this logic; I think we should leave this unchanged unless there's a specific case that is breaking with this here.

About not doing the proposed change, here is the workaround I had to do without it. It is messy to say the least.

However I think it is better if this actually breaks, because it only happens if the user did not accept the TOS, i.e. the current method assumes that the TOS is accepted regardless (hence the need for this PR). Yes, we do need to check the other testers and add CheckAccountTOS call beforehand to make sure they are automated properly. If you can point me to some of the potential places where it needs I can add appropriate test. Also can we add something like step_ca to the go tests to automate all the necessary tests?

I think the CA should enforce this, not the client.

Is there a standard for the CA to check/enforce the TOS? How do we communicate with the CA to confirm that the client is accepting TOS?

The CA can choose to enforce this if that's important to them -- the CA sends the TOS link in the directory, and we send a boolean value during ACME to indicate whether client has agreed or not.

It's been a while I kinda lost track of this. The main idea here was that the URL/hash of the TOS should be shaved locally as a cache, and if the TOS is not agreed send it to the CA as not agreed? Isn't it equivalent to error-out there and ask the user to accept manually? You are considering that the CA would have special behaviour that allow to be used when new TOS is not accepted? But the user should be informed, so I think it is more reasonable to require the user to explicitly accept/decline the new TOS.

If the TOS have changed, then the CA will return an error to the ACME client.
