Validation plugins
A validation plugin is responsible for providing the ACME server with proof that you own the identifiers (host names) that you want to create a certificate for. The ACMEv2 protocol defines different challenge types, three of which are supported by simple-acme, namely HTTP-01, DNS-01 and TLS-ALPN-01.
For wildcard identifiers, only DNS-01 validation is accepted by Let’s Encrypt.
Several other challenge types are not supported for various reasons:
TLS-SNI-01/-02- deprecated and removedPROOFOFPOSSESSION-01- unknown
