Description

Discussion on https://github.com/letsencrypt/pebble/pull/39 indicated that there are users who would find it valuable to be able to inject test data into Pebble to help support integration testing with an ACME client.

Similarly, in https://github.com/letsencrypt/boulder/issues/2697 there was a desire for a way to signal "Reject the next n requests as if they had a badNonce".

Pebble should offer a basic HTTP "admin"/"test" interface on a different path/port than the ACME API that can be used to do management tasks like the two listed above.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Pebble’s existing ACME API and the linked discussions in the pull request and Boulder issue. Define the separate HTTP management interface and its behavior for injecting test data and rejecting the next n requests as badNonce; done means both management tasks are available without changing the ACME API and are covered by tests.
