I am trying to use both ipv4 and ipv6 on my domain. The domains are registered with a registrar separate from the hosting company, so I have added it there and subsequently try to add it in DA.

I see that there is an option to link the ip, but I do not know if that is the right option nor do I find any documentation.
I did this: https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=353 but that does not mention anything about linking IP's.

Afterwards, I tried to create certificates by using Letsencrypt in DA/CB.

At the moment SSLLabs is gving me:
Certificate not valid for domain name

And wget says
ERROR: no certificate subject alternative name matches requested host name

Can anyone give me a pointer to documentation or the steps to take?
 
Linking IPv6 to IPv4 is the right way to achieve the desired. Just make sure to check the option to add IPv6 to existing domains, etc.

Certificate validation might fail if domains resolve both to IPv4 and IPv6, but the last is not added into virtual host of Apache/Nginx/LiteSpeed/OLS. So use the link method.
 
Thanks for your reply. Is linking th only thing I need to do or do I have to add the various AAAA records?
