## Setting up a client
The client is initialized with a private key and the directory of your ACME provider.

If you already have an existing account (for example one created in ACME v1) please note that unless the `kid` is provided at initialization, the client will lazy load the `kid` by doing a `POST` to `newAccount` whenever the `kid` is required. Therefore, you can easily get your `kid` for an existing account and (if needed) store it for reuse:
-```
+```ruby
client = Acme::Client.new(private_key: private_key, directory: 'https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory')
# kid is not set, therefore a call to newAccount is made to lazy-initialize the kid
client.kid

+### Ordering an alternative certificate
+
+Let's Encrypt is [transitioning](https://letsencrypt.org/2019/04/15/transitioning-to-isrg-root.html) to use a new intermediate certificate. Starting January 11, 2021 new certificates will be signed by their own intermediate. To ease the transition on clients Let's Encrypt will continue signing an alternative version of the certificate using the old, cross-signed intermediate until September 29, 2021. In order to utilize an alternative certificate the `Order#certificate` method accepts a `force_chain` keyword argument, which takes the issuer name of the intermediate certificate.
+For example, to download the cross-signed certificate after January 11, 2021, call `Order#certificate` as follows:
+
+```ruby
+begin
+ order.certificate(force_chain: 'DST Root CA X3')
+rescue Acme::Client::Error::ForcedChainNotFound
+ order.certificate
+end
+```
+
+Note: if the specified forced chain doesn't match an existing alternative certificate the method will raise an `Acme::Client::Error::ForcedChainNotFound` error.
+

### Certificate revokation
To revoke a certificate you can call `#revoke` with the certificate.
