Domain Verification Process

• Aleff uses the HTTP-01 verification method.
• The verification key and token are stored in Consul for the duration of the verification process.
• The aleff-challenge-responder component receives the verification request, looks up the key in Consul and returns the token stored there.
• Once the verification process is complete the key is removed from Consul.
• Note that verification takes place over a non-SSL connection on port 80.
