Automated ssl doesn't work

Automatic SSL does not work

Newly created accounts return SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN when accessed through https
It says the certificate is only valid for server.mydomain.com (my server hostname)

That cert was installed this way

/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/letsencrypt.sh request_single server.mydomain.com 4096

...following instructions here: https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=629


Since the accounts we are creating are all subdomains I tried to generate a new cert like this

/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/letsencrypt.sh request_single mydomain.com 4096

But no changes.

How can we fix this problem?
Thanks!

That is only to install the certificate for your hostname als the helpfile clearly says.

The correct way to enable autossl is like this:

As far as I know, automatic creation for new domains is now default in Directadmin if I'm not mistaken.

Might be a custom thing, I can't find that on my admin section.

Edit: this is part of the pro pack. But autossl should be installed by default, might not work with subdomains, not sure. There is a thread about subdomains on the forums here.
