Hello,
I've been trying to request a wildcard certificate form Let's encrypt.
From my understanding, the process is that when I ask for the certificate, DA inserts a TXT entry to my DNS management, that is usually:
_acme-challenge as name, and a random generated key as value, this allows Let's encrypt to verify that I really own the domain and that it can issue my certificate.
My current setup is that I have a VPS from InterServer, which I also use to handles my DNS entries, and I'm using their name servers.
The only way I could get the request process to work, is to manually insert the acme challenge entry to InterServer before it times-out, and that passed the test successfully, and I got my certificate.
My questions are:
1. In 3 months, when the certificate expires, and DA tries to auto-renew it. Does it has to pass the acme challenge again? Meaning I'll have to manually change the entry at InterServer?
2. Is there another solution?
Thank you!!
