CSR plugins
CSR plugins are responsible for generating a Certificate Signing Request that the ACME server can fulfill in the final stage of the order process. They determine key properties such as the private key, applications and extensions. When a custom CSR is used as source , no CSR plugin can be chosen. The third party application that generated the custom CSR is expected to take care of the private key and extensions
instead.
