Generate SSL automatically after a domain is created

[vpscanban]

Hi everybody.

I'm using DirectAdmin v.1.657, is there a way to automatically install SSL once the domain is added?

Hello.

If autossl is enabled, which I thought is by default but I can be mistaken, then it will automatically create the SSL certificate if SSL is on for the domain.

You can check this way if it's enabled, or enable it this way if it's not.

[root@sv31 zabbix_agentd.d]# cd /usr/local/directadmin
[root@sv31 directadmin]# ./directadmin config | grep letsencrypt=
letsencrypt=1
[root@sv31 directadmin]# ./directadmin config | grep pointers_own_virtualhost=
pointers_own_virtualhost=1
[root@sv31 directadmin]# ./directadmin config | grep admin_ssl_cert_per_vh=
admin_ssl_cert_per_vh=1
[root@sv31 directadmin]# ./directadmin config | grep admin_ssl_check_retries=
admin_ssl_check_retries=1
[root@sv31 directadmin]# ./directadmin config | grep mail_sni=
mail_sni=1

I enabled it as above, but it doesn't seem to work.

but it doesn't seem to work.

In that case, maybe it's not set correctly at the user.

Login as the user and visit the SSL page.
Then check if the option "Use the best match certificate" is selected.

Make sure that domain is resolving to the server otherwise it won't work automatically but after domain starts to resolve.
