Let's encrypt: Allow alternative hostnames in the global server certificate

[nielsh]

As mentioned here, according to this article Let's Encrypt can now be used to set the server certificate automatically for proftpd, exim, dovecot, DirectAdmin and Apache (and I assume also nginx). For the global certificate, the following command has to be used, where your.hostname.com matches the hostname from the servername variable in the directadmin.conf:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./letsencrypt.sh request your.hostname.com 4096

It would be an awesome feature if we could modify this certificate so it also includes other domains. Such as mail.your.hostname.com or mailserver.your.hostname.com, ftp.your.hostname.com, etc... I think the command could be as such:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./letsencrypt.sh request global your.hostname.com mail.hostname.com ftp.hostname.com 4096

And of course for a domain (a normal cert/user mode) ->

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./letsencrypt.sh request website mysite.com www.mysite.com subdir.mysite.com 4096

for example... Of course for global there can only be one, and for website it has to exist in DA itself (added as a vhost)

Hello Niels,

That's a good request. I'm in as well.
One moment requires a correction, alternative names should be comma separated, otherwise it will bring issues

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./letsencrypt.sh request website,mysite.com,www.mysite.com,subdir.mysite.com 4096

I'll like to add a +1 for this request as well
