Hi,

I want to use the Let's encrypt option in Directadmin. So I enable it using the stepts I found here: https://raymii.org/s/articles/Lets_Encrypt_Directadmin_Now_Built_In.html, fixed the license issue using the information here: http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=53564 and updated the client using the info here: http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=53646

I have created a domain on the user level of the administrator user, enabled SSL en created a symbolic URL from private_html to public_html. When I want to create a SSL Certificate I follow the next steps:
- Choose Free & automatic certificate from Let's Encrypt
- Fill in my e-mailadres (domain is already prefilled) and check the checked domains.
- Click save and wait when te certificate is generated.

My log is as follows:
Getting challenge for [domain].nl from acme-server...
Waiting for domain verification...
Challenge is valid.
Getting challenge for www.[domain].nl from acme-server...
Waiting for domain verification...
Challenge is valid.
Generating 4096 bit RSA key for [domain].nl...
openssl genrsa 4096 > "/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/admin/domains/[domain].nl.key.new"
Generating RSA private key, 4096 bit long modulus
................++
.............................................................................................................................................++
e is 65537 (0x10001)
Certificate for [domain].nl has been created successfully!

NOTE: You are using the server IP, so your certificate and key have been saved to:
/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
NOTE: You are using the server IP, so your CA Root Certificate has been saved to:
/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.ca

But I still get the 'self signed certificate error' when I want to visit https://[domain]
When I go back to the SSL page in Directadmin I see, the option 'Use the server's certificate' is selected.
With other words, directadmin won't save the SSL change, what i'm doing wrong?
 
Hi Niek, did you check if you really selected the Let's Encrypt certificate instead of the server certificate? Otherwise contact me (Sjoerd).
 
Hi Imtek,

It's another server, I don't know if you can help me with that...

Yes I did check the option, otherwise I can't fill in the details (email, domain and check the domains).
