Failed authorization procedure

pat06600 · March 30, 2020, 10:04am

Hi,

I’ve been attempting to get new certificates for this domain (whose original ones expired in january 12th 2020) on a completely new host and new os version (totally clean thus ). Despite a thourough check of similar subjects on the forum I did not manage to solve my problem and will update the title as soon as I shall understand what is going on.

The file (catched with a small bash script)
“/var/www/html/.well-known/acme-challenge/Fdi1xpSuoZXr0nTVlT08d5QuzWg1we_9q8oWggL6qvU”
is successfully created during the process and contains:
“Fdi1xpSuoZXr0nTVlT08d5QuzWg1we_9q8oWggL6qvU.hv39oMM_cC4VbCunYeyVvwa1KAVO51Vb7d9vKJBCcBM”

When I create manually this file (and the directory structure), I am able to access it (and download it) from another computer using Chrome or Firefox on a local network.

Although it doesn’t seem to me that there is any redirection, the letsdebug check shows one from http to https, and the same shows up at “check-your-website.server-daten.de” where furthermore it says:
“All checks /.well-known/acme-challenge/random-filename without redirects answer with the expected http status 404 - Not Found. Creating a Letsencrypt certificate via http-01 challenge should work. If it doesn’t work: Check your vHost configuration (apachectl -S, httpd -S, nginx -T). Every combination of port and ServerName / ServerAlias (Apache) or Server (Nginx) must be unique. Merge duplicated entries in one vHost. If you use an IIS, extensionless files must be allowed in the /.well-known/acme-challenge subdirectory. Create a web.config in that directory. Content: <system.webServer></system.webServer>. If you have a redirect http ⇒ https, that’s ok, Letsencrypt follows such redirects to port 80 / 443 (same or other server). There must be a certificate. But the certificate may be expired, self signed or with a not matching domain name. Checking the validation file Letsencrypt ignores such certificate errors. Trouble creating a certificate? Use https://community.letsencrypt.org/ to ask.”

It is not clear to me what I could check more to understand why I cannot generate the certificates for this domain. Could you please have any hint or idea?

Thanks for your time,

Pat

My domain is: acidalia.fr

I ran this command: sudo certbot certonly --dry-run -vvv --debug --rsa-key-size 4096 --webroot --agree-tos --no-eff-email --email xxxxx -w /var/www/html -d acidalia.fr

It produced this output (hope it’s readable otherwise tell me how to improve readability):

_az · March 30, 2020, 10:17am

Let’s start with a sanity check - is fox.ovh on the same nginx server as acidalia.fr?

I also edited your post for improved readability.

_az · March 30, 2020, 10:20am

Here's one clue as to what could be going wrong:

When I make a request to your server, I see an entirely different nginx server version:

$ curl -I acidalia.fr
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx/1.6.2

pat06600 · March 30, 2020, 10:23am

Thanks for the improved readability…
No fox.ovh is not on the same server as acidalia.fr (by the way, what is fox.ovh?)

_az · March 30, 2020, 10:26am

fox.ovh is the default SSL certificate that is being served by the IP address that acidalia.fr points to:

$ openssl s_client -connect 88.120.30.159:443 -showcerts 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -subject
subject=CN = fox.ovh

Since you do not recognize it, I would suggest checking that acidalia.fr is actually pointing to the correct IP:

$ dig +noall +answer acidalia.fr
acidalia.fr.            3112    IN      A       88.120.30.159

That the nginx version is different to the one you report is further evidence to suggest the IP is wrong.

pat06600 · March 30, 2020, 10:35am

88.120.30.159 is my freebox ip address: it is indeed the correct one

pat06600 · March 30, 2020, 10:38am

I found another old link olympus.hd.free.fr pointing at the same IP. Should I remove it?

_az · March 30, 2020, 10:44am

Not that I don’t believe you, but could you humor me and try run this from the Kubuntu server where nginx is running?

curl ipinfo.io

JuergenAuer · March 30, 2020, 10:46am

Hi @pat06600

there is a redirect http -> https. But if https has the wrong certificate:

Your certbot runs on the wrong machine
Your webroot is wrong
your https isn't configured, so the wrong vHost answers -> that can't work
so remove your redirect

A working port 80 vHost with the correct server_name -> better, not a server_name _;.

pat06600 · March 30, 2020, 10:49am

There it is:
{
“ip”: “88.120.30.159”,
“hostname”: “cvl92-5_migr-88-120-30-159.fbx.proxad.net”,
“city”: “Antibes”,
“region”: “Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur”,
“country”: “FR”,

“org”: “AS12322 Free SAS”,
“postal”: “06160”,
“timezone”: “Europe/Paris”,
“readme”: “https://ipinfo.io/missingauth”

pat06600 · March 30, 2020, 1:59pm

It looks like I got a reverse dns for 88.120.30.159 pointing at cvl92-5_migr-88-120-30-159.fbx.proxad.net where an nginx 1.6.2 server is running, explaining (probably) the mess I experience in trying to get my certificates. I think I should first solve this problem. Then I will report back to you…

pat06600 · March 31, 2020, 3:13pm

Hi Juergen and _az

I solved the problem of missmatched reverse DNS (the cause was a recent new setting from my ISP “Free”). I switched over to a new so-called full-stack IP, that gave me back total control on it (and also a new IP by the way). I just had to care that my DN pointed to that IP and that my reverse DNS pointed back to the DN. Then everything went smooth and I got my certificates in a straightforward process
Thank you very much for your help, everything’s working fine now. It could be maybe judicious to modify the title of this thread by something like “Failed authorization procedure due to DNS and reverse DNS missmatch”?

Cheers,

Pat

JuergenAuer · March 31, 2020, 3:30pm

The second part isn't the problem.

one domain name -> one ip address.

But with SNI, a lot of domain names can use the same ip address.

So ip address -> domain name - only one domain name is possible. That's relevant if it is a mail server.

But it's not relevant creating a certificate.
