Nsupdate.key is unreadable

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.

i had made a post on pfsense communiti forums here: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/139484/acme-and-bind-dns-server-on-pfsense-in-the-same-server/10
with some captures of my config…

Hi @enriluis

the "nsupdate.key is unreadable" isn't the main problem.

This

may be the problem. Checking your server ( bicsa.cu - Make your website better - DNS, redirects, mixed content, certificates ) your second nameserver is critical:

X Fatal error: Nameserver doesn't support TCP connection: ns2.bicsa.cu
X Nameserver Timeout checking Echo Capitalization: ns2.bicsa.cu
X Nameserver Timeout checking EDNS512: ns2.bicsa.cu

PS: Another user had problems with pfsense:

interesting… so is not sufficient one ns server respond? now some stupid cuestion… i need certificate for some website under bicsa.cu domain ex enlinea.bicsa.cu servicios.bicsa.cu or .bicsa.cu the key refer to subdomain or host?? or are the same think
why in the test are show:

_acme-challenge.bicsa.cu.bicsa.cu Name Error - The domain name does not exist 1 0
_acme-challenge.www.bicsa.cu.www.bicsa.cu Name Error - The domain name does not exist 1 0

exist
both ns server are runnig now… so why are show _acme-challenge.bicsa.cu.bicsa.cu rigth thats do not exist… i go to take a look to my config…

sorry about my english and thanks

These entries are green

so it's good they aren't exist.

These entries are typical wrong entries, so the tool checks if such a wrong entry exists.

Your error says:

No entry _acme-challenge.bicsa.cu exists, this is the same as "Name error - The domain name does not exist".

So your addin dns_nsupdate didn't create the required txt entry.

Perhaps there is an option to use acme.sh manual, so you can create the required txt entries manual.

Maybe because it couldn't find the API credential to update the records on the nameserver?
