Source plugins
A source plugin is responsible for providing information about a (potential) certificate to the rest of the program. Its primary purpose is to determine which host names should be included in the SAN list, but can also provide extra information such as the preferred common name or bindings to exclude.
| Custom CSR | CSR created by another program |
| IIS bindings | Read bindings from IIS |
| Manual input | Manually enter host names |
Default
