I just want to create a certificate for my SBS2010 (which is a 2008R2) to access the Outlook-Web-Access.  
My login is [https://remote.mydomain.com/owa](https://remote.mydomain.com/owa)

What I did:

- downloaded and extracted win-acme.v2.0.5.246.zip
- run cmd.exe as admin in the extracted folder
- created C:\inetpub\wwwroot\.well-known\acme-challenge
- put in the configcheck file
- created a web.config with

- enabled port 80 on the firewall.  
The server is running on a private ipv4 net and a single ip is forwarded to the server.  
Now I can fetch [http://remote.mydom.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/configcheck](http://remote.mydom.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/configcheck) and get the content of the configcheck-file

Then I run wacs.exe:

- M: create with adv. options
- 4: Manually input host names
- put in cname: [remote.mydom.com](http://remote.mydom.com)
- 5: [http-01] Save file on local or network path
- entered: c:\inetpub\wwwroot
- copy default web.config no 🙂
- 2: Standard RSA key pair
- 2: Windows Certificate Store
- 1: Create or update https bindings in IIS
- 1: Default Web Site

and always end up with something like:

[WARN] First chance error calling into ACME server, retrying with new nonce…  
[INFO] Authorize identifier: [remote.mydom.com](http://remote.mydom.com)  
[INFO] Authorizing remote.hobel.at using http-01 validation (FileSystem)  
[INFO] Answer should now be browsable at [http://remote.mydom.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/1jGe-TbI4o3KVQNPqSbKUYsQEhtKbJgFWqZVGOusUg0](http://remote.mydom.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/1jGe-TbI4o3KVQNPqSbKUYsQEhtKbJgFWqZVGOusUg0)  
[INFO] Preliminary validation looks good, but ACME will be more thorough…  
[EROR] {

“status”: 400  
}  
[EROR] Authorization result: invalid  
[EROR] Create certificate failed: Authorization failed

I see the generated file for a second in the explorer.  
If I put in manually a file with this name into the folder I can fetch it (so I get not a HTTP-400 Error)  
Also tried to fetch from outside to access this url which was also working

And now I just get:

[WARN] First chance error calling into ACME server, retrying with new nonce…  
[EROR] AcmeProtocolException: Error creating new order :: too many failed authorizations recently: see [https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/)

Also tried with method “4: http-01” -\> same result  
Also tried “N: Create new certificate” -\> this wont offer me the Default-Web-Site

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi @SchRobert

what's your domain name?

> [@SchRobert](#):
>
> put in cname: [remote.mydom.com](http://remote.mydom.com)

is this an internal CNAME? The effective ip of `remote.mydom.com` must be the ip address of the server you run that tool. If this is a CNAME that points to another server, you can't create a certificate (with http-01-validation).

So without your domain name it's impossible to check that.

"Connection refused" sounds like "There is a blocking firewall" or "no http configured".

You **can** create a certificate via dns-01 validation. But you have to create a dns TXT entry. If your dns provider doesn't support an API, you have to redo that every 60 - 85 days.

I mean cname for “common name”. In DNS there is are just single A-Records for this name. One at the DNS-Server of the SBS itselve - pointing to the private IP address and another one at the public DNS-Server for the public IP-Address.

The certificate should only contain the name of the site ([remote.mydom.com](http://remote.mydom.com)) and nothing about an IP-Adress !?

Please answer the following questions. It’s the standard template of #help

* * *

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](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:

I ran this command:

It produced this output:

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):

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):

Ok, once more using the standard template:

**My domain is:** hobel.at  
The Site-Name I need the certificate is: remote.hobel.at

**I ran this commands:**

- downloaded and extracted win-acme.v2.0.5.246.zip

- run cmd.exe as admin in the extracted folder

- created C:\inetpub\wwwroot.well-known\acme-challenge

- put in the configcheck file

- created in this folder a web.config with:

- enabled port 80 on the firewall.

The server is running on a private ipv4 net and a single ip is forwarded to the server.

Now I can fetch [http://remote.hobel.at/.well-known/acme-challenge/configcheck](http://remote.hobel.at/.well-known/acme-challenge/configcheck) and get the content of the configcheck-file

Maybe there is something in the web.config missing? The sample web-configs with ’ `<mimeMap fileExtension=".*" mimeType="text/plain" />`’ did not work. Using ‘text/plain’ or ‘text/json’ did not change the returned error.

I could ask the provider if there is an API to use the dns-methods but I think there isn’t any API available.

The DNS-Records are:

- On the server itselve (NS 127.0.0.1): A single A-Record to the private IP (v4)
- From outside (NS dns1.netplanet.at): A single A-Record to the public IP (v4)

Maybe there is something in the web.config missing? The sample web-configs with ’ `<mimeMap fileExtension=".*" mimeType="text/plain" />`’ did not work. Using ‘text/plain’ or ‘text/json’ did not change the returned error.

I could ask the provider if there is an API to use the dns-methods but I think there isn’t any API available.

That's interesting.

You have created a correct configuration file to allow files without extensions.

And your test file works.

> Extensionless File Config Test - OK

Checking your

```nohighlight
http://remote.hobel.at/.well-known/acme-challenge/1jGe-TbI4o3KVQNPqSbKUYsQEhtKbJgFWqZVGOusUg0

```

there is the correct http status 404 - not found. But no connection refused - error.

Checking your domain there is no problem visible ( [https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=remote.hobel.at](https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=remote.hobel.at) ):

No redirect http -\> https in /.well-known/, the expected http status 404 - not found. And there are no older certificates, so it's your first certificate with that server.

Is there something like a bot detection that blocks?

`hobel.at` has a different ip address - 195.95.163.21.

Which ip address uses your client?

The web server has still the old self-signed certificate - which I want to replace now.

So any https/certificate checks are useless.

Other \*.hobel.at names have differnet ip addresses (I’m using different internet connections for mail and the www.hobel.at is located at the ISP)

But now it’s a problem of your client (and I don’t use that client).

The test file works.

But if the client creates a file, Letsencrypt doesn’t see that file.

Are there additional debug options? Or a better log?

So you mean the letsencrypt itselve is doing something wrong… fine.  
What does this mean: win-acme.v2.0.5.246 is not compatible with IIS 7.5 and Server 2008R2 ?

Does anone know a tool which is working with server2008r2 - ar maybe a older version of the wacs?
