Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:paks2zrt.hu

I ran this command:

It produced this output: ACME accept operation failed: The client lacks sufficient authorization: community.letsencrypt.org

My web server is (include version):

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):

Hi @tabaszabi

there - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=paks2zrt.hu - is no A- or AAAA-record.

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
paks2zrt.hu A yes 1 0
AAAA yes
www.paks2zrt.hu Name Error yes 1 0

So if that client uses http validation, that can't work.

Start with

then read something about Challenge types:

Hi Jürgen!

In the paks2zrt.hu domain we only have videoconfernce devices for example Cisco Expressway -E (this device run the ACME protocol).
We do not have web server in it, therefore there is no www A record. It is mandatory?

Thank You!

But then that device should have an ip address.

So use that ip address to create an A-record of your domain.

Or use dns validation.

I configure the A record (paks2zrt.hu -> Expressway-E outside IP), but the problem is the same:
"management: Level=“ERROR” Detail=“Acme Providers Write failed”, Reason=“The client lacks sufficient authorization: community.letsencrypt.org”, ErrorCode=“500” UTCTime=“2020-04-20 14:19:33,471”

It seems for me, that there is a problem with my user, insn’t it?

There

is no answer. So the domain validation via http can't work.

And

I don't understand that error message. Do you use the correct domain name paks2zrt.hu.

Check the documentation of that client.

In the Cisco Expressway admin GUI I have to type my email, but it is @paks2.hu not @paks2zrt.hu…
Is it cause any problem?

Thanks
