Invalid name of certificate

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: www.shesheds.co.nz

I ran this command:sudo certbot --nginx --agree-tos --redirect --staple-ocsp -d shesheds.co.nz --email info@shesheds.co.nz

It produced this output:Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Hi Guys,

So when I go to shesheds.co.nz all is good but when I go to www.shesheds.co.nz it says insecure site.

I think this might be due to me running

sudo certbot --nginx --agree-tos --redirect --staple-ocsp -d shesheds.co.nz --email info@shesheds.co.nz

when I think I should have run

sudo certbot --nginx --agree-tos --redirect --staple-ocsp -d www.shesheds.co.nz --email info@shesheds.co.nz

Would I be right? If so what is the solution? To run

sudo certbot --nginx --agree-tos --redirect --staple-ocsp -d www.shesheds.co.nz

? Thank you for your help.

Hi @Jedi

you have created a certificate with one domain name:

Issuer not before not after Domain names LE-Duplicate next LE
Let's Encrypt Authority X3 2019-08-04 2019-11-02 shesheds.co.nz - 1 entries duplicate nr. 1

So your www-version isn't secure.

You need one certificate with both domain names (ok, you could have different vHosts, but that's not required).

So use two -d options:

sudo certbot --nginx --agree-tos --redirect --staple-ocsp -d shesheds.co.nz -d www.shesheds.co.nz --email info@shesheds.co.nz

Then one vHost (with both domain names) can use one certificate (with the same both domain names).

First check, if your port 80 / port 443 have the correct server directive.

nginx -T
