Registering for an ACME account without requesting a certificate

[ArthurHNL]

I'm working on deploying win-acme to lots of systems internally and already creating an ACME account but I cannot figure out how to do this.

We have an internal ACME server that can generate an EAB KID and EAB key that is valid for an hour that you can use to register for an account. On Linux servers, we use certbot and we can then immediately create the ACME account using

certbot register --eab-kid "$eab_kid" --eab-hmac-key "$eab_hmac_key" --text --agree-tos --non-interactive --email "$EMAIL"

However, when running the following command on Windows, it simply opens the Interactive UI:

&"C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\wacs.exe" --closeonfinish --accepttos --emailaddress $Email --eab-key-identifier $EabKid --eab-key $EabKey

Does anyone know how to do this? So registering the ACME account without requesting a certificate?

A little bit of a hacky way to do this that I use myself is to add the --import switch. It won't have any adverse side effect besides some extra log messages. But I'll add a --register in the next release to make this a supported feature.

Thanks for the quick answer, this works.

Release 2.2.5 included the new --register switch
