TLS-SNI-01 To HTTP-01

Help
1

Hi,

I would need some help to renew a cert using HTTP-01.

Here is the message I received when running: sudo certbot renew --dry-run

My web server: Apache 2.4.18 on Ubuntu 16.04.3

I can login to a root shell on my machine and I use Webmin 1.900

certbot --version = 0.28

Thanks

Hi @LucD

you have an ipv6 Teredo tunneling address as your ip address ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=intuineo002.pro ):

Perhaps remove this ipv6, then try it again. Or check your vHosts, then find your DocumentRoot. Then use

certbot run -a webroot -i apache -w YourDocumentRoot -d intuineo002.pro -d www.intuineo002.pro

You have both dns entries - www and non-www. And http + www answers. But your certificate has only one domain name. So you should create one certificate with both domain names.

Thank you Juergen for your answer and all the provided information.

I didn't know about all this...

I need IPV6 on this server so I have no option to remove it.

I'm going to try your cerbot command and will be back soon...

Unfortunately, I received the following error (from letsencryp.log)

force_interactive = True - your Certbot want's an input.

But there is no input, so it's a timeout.

6

:grinning:

Yes but the script is so fast I don’t have any chance to press a key…

More seriously, I’m running the script via webmin console and this is (may be) related (the script is not waiting for input and exits right away).

I will try to run it with plain ssl/putty and let you know

7

Running the script with putty solved the problem.

I just need to check the next letsencrypt renewal deadline now!

Thanks Jeurgen for your help

Cheers

You don't have to remove IPv6 from the server; Only remove it from the global DNS zone.
If that is not possible, then I don't think you will be able to use HTTP validation.
Maybe DNS validation can work for your case.

He has already created a new certificate.

CN=intuineo002.pro
	29.01.2019
	29.04.2019
	intuineo002.pro, www.intuineo002.pro - 2 entries

So Letsencrypt accepts these Teredo tunneling addresses.

Accepts it? Like it actually uses it?
Or it just ignores it (and falls back to any other available address - like the IPv4 address in this case)?

11

The ipv6 Teredo is there:

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
intuineo002.pro A 92.222.84.144 yes 1 0
AAAA 2001:41d0:401:3100::702d yes
www.intuineo002.pro A 92.222.84.144 yes 1 0
AAAA 2001:41d0:401:3100::702d yes

And the Topic uses this address.

Now the file was ok -> new certificate.

12

OK, the confusion is that this is actually a normal IPv6 address (assigned to OVH France).
See: Webupdates — RIPE Network Coordination Centre

So this is incorrect assumption:

13

It isn't a normal IPv6 address, it's a Teredo tunneling address. So as I know, it should be used as client address (sample: mobile clients), that may change. Not as a static server address.

14

How do you know this?

15

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teredo_tunneling#IPv6_addressing
Bits 0 to 31 hold the Teredo prefix (2001::/32).

That doesn’t cover: 2001:40d0::
Only 2001:0000::

Yep, thanks, it's my error.

There

2001::/32 2001:: 2001::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff

is a ::, not

2001::/32 2001:: 2001:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff

So all with 2001:0000: as start is a Teredo address. Must fix it.
