Certification error for subdomain

[sadeshwar699]

My domain is: gpms.jp (instance 1) - (this works fine)

subdomain is : master.gpms.jp (instance 2)

I ran this command: certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/lib/redmine/public -d master.gpms.jp

It produced this output:

Failed authorization procedure. master.gpms.jp (http-01): urn:acme:error:unauthorized :: The client lacks sufficient authorization :: Invalid response from http://master.gpms.jp/.well-known/acme-challenge/-hkcBmz31YR5neiBJZoLirQLqC_rIEkESBeG29BfSTw: "

Unauthorized</"

IMPORTANT NOTES:

You have Basic Auth protecting your webroot.

This isn’t going to work, because Let’s Encrypt needs to be able to make a successful request to the /.well-known/acme-challenge/ tree within that webroot.

There’s a couple of things you can try.

Use the Apache plugin and hope it solves your problem:

certbot certonly -a apache -d master.gpms.jp

or

Exclude the path from your Basic Auth

Where you have

Require valid-user

add above it

Require expr %{REQUEST_URI} =~ m#^/.well-known/acme-challenge/.*#

One of those two approaches should hopefully help you.
