J-Stream Inc. is adding an ACME integration feature to CDNext to automate SSL/TLS certificate operations, including issuance, renewal and revocation, on CDNext. The feature is intended to centralize certificate management while allowing users to continue using their existing certificate authority.
J-Stream Inc. announced that it has begun offering a feature on its CDN service "J-Stream CDNext" that automates SSL/TLS server certificate operations through ACME integration. The new feature enables users to centrally manage certificate registration, renewal and deployment of renewed certificates on CDNext, improving service operations while continuing to use their currently contracted certificate authority.
The background includes the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' White Paper on Information and Communications, which notes an upward trend in observed cyberattack traffic. The CA/Browser Forum has also adopted a policy to progressively shorten the maximum validity period for SSL/TLS certificates. The maximum period is expected to be shortened to 200 days from 15 March 2026 and 47 days from 15 March 2029.
Following the introduction of the feature, ACME integration with Atlas from GMO GlobalSign has already been confirmed. Customers can centrally manage "certificate registration," "certificate renewal" and "deployment of renewed certificates" on CDNext. This is intended to reduce manual work, prevent missed renewals and lower the risk of service outages.
J-Stream Inc. plans to continue expanding CDNext's functionality and provide comprehensive support for web service operations by strengthening certificate lifecycle management.
