I’m attempting to obtain SSL certificates manually via certbot for my local development environment on Windows 10. Since certbot doesn’t work on Windows (yet), I’m using certbot installed on WSL Ubuntu 18.04 to get the certificate. Here is the command I’m using:
An unexpected error occurred:
Error creating new order :: Policy forbids issuing for name
Please see the logfiles in /var/log/letsencrypt for more details.
Please note that this development environment is on my Oracle laptop and the hostname is static and unique.
As per my IT support, the hostname can be resolved over the internet, however, it doesn’t have a high Alexa rank (being the hostname of my own laptop). I’m trying to setup Let’s Encrypt ccerts for a local dev environment on my laptop.
