SSL Certificate Is Not Trusted

Hi

I successfully generate the ssl certificate when i access my domain from browser it gave me error as mention below.
im not a developer so i have no idea about this error maybe this is common kindly advice necessary

1- NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID. ( error from Google Chrome)

thie is the result for domain scan

No NOT TRUSTED (Why?)

It gave me this error

@malik

You have no A (or CNAME) record in your DNS for www.aj-group.ddns.net. Thus, attempting to fulfill an http-01 challenge for it, like you are trying to do, will fail.

Either add a CNAME record for www.aj-group.ddns.net pointing to aj-group.ddns.net or add an A record for www pointing to 2.90.212.139.

Once that's fixed, run this to test:

certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html/aj-group.ddns.net/ -d "aj-group.ddns.net,www.aj-group.ddns.net" --dry-run

If that works, run this:

certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html/aj-group.ddns.net/ -d "aj-group.ddns.net,www.aj-group.ddns.net" --keep

Thank You griffin
as i mention above im not a developer this is my first time to generate ssl certificate for website
it will be much appreciated if you can guide me or share some useful link

I gave you exact instructions on what to fix and how to fix it. :upside_down_face: You should be able to make the DNS changes through your account with ddns.net.

thank you griffin

Keep in mind that the csrtbot commands I gave you will only acquire the certificate. It still needs be to properly installed to work.

Also, your port 80 in apache is configured for SSL, which won't work. Port 80 should be HTTP (without SSL) and port 443 should be HTTPS (with SSL).


This isn't good:

#   Access Control:

#   SSL Engine Options:
#   Set various options for the SSL engine.
#   o FakeBasicAuth:
#     Translate the client X.509 into a Basic Authorisation.  This means that
#     the standard Auth/DBMAuth methods can be used for access control.  The
#     user name is the `one line' version of the client's X.509 certificate.
#     Note that no password is obtained from the user. Every entry in the user
#     file needs this password: `xxj31ZMTZzkVA'.
#   o ExportCertData:
#     This exports two additional environment variables: SSL_CLIENT_CERT and
#     SSL_SERVER_CERT. These contain the PEM-encoded certificates of the
#     server (always existing) and the client (only existing when client
#     authentication is used). This can be used to import the certificates
#     into CGI scripts.
#   o StdEnvVars:
#     This exports the standard SSL/TLS related `SSL_*' environment variables.
#     Per default this exportation is switched off for performance reasons,
#     because the extraction step is an expensive operation and is usually
#     useless for serving static content. So one usually enables the
#     exportation for CGI and SSI requests only.
#   o StrictRequire:
#     This denies access when "SSLRequireSSL" or "SSLRequire" applied even
#     under a "Satisfy any" situation, i.e. when it applies access is denied
#     and no other module can change it.
#   o OptRenegotiate:
#     This enables optimized SSL connection renegotiation handling when SSL
#     directives are used in per-directory context. 
#SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth +ExportCertData +StrictRequire

#   SSL Protocol Adjustments:
#   The safe and default but still SSL/TLS standard compliant shutdown
#   approach is that mod_ssl sends the close notify alert but doesn't wait for
#   the close notify alert from client. When you need a different shutdown
#   approach you can use one of the following variables:
#   o ssl-unclean-shutdown:
#     This forces an unclean shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. no
#     SSL close notify alert is sent or allowed to be received.  This violates
#     the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead browsers. Use
#     this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard approach where
#     mod_ssl sends the close notify alert.
#   o ssl-accurate-shutdown:
#     This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. a
#     SSL close notify alert is sent and mod_ssl waits for the close notify
#     alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard compliant, but in
#     practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead browsers. Use
#     this only for browsers where you know that their SSL implementation
#     works correctly. 
#   Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP
#   keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable
#   keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable "nokeepalive" for this.
#   Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to workaround
#   their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables "downgrade-1.0" and
#   "force-response-1.0" for this.
BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-5]" \
         nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
         downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

#   Per-Server Logging:
#   The home of a custom SSL log file. Use this when you want a
#   compact non-error SSL logfile on a virtual host basis.
CustomLog logs/ssl_request_log \
          "%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b"
