Trying to obtain free ssl for the fortigate firewall using the fortigate FQDN

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: wjtts.fortiddns.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot certonly --standalon -d wjtts.fortiddns.com

It produced this output: Timeout during authentication from firewall.

you'd better use their internal client than try to fit certbot in it
