Hello everyone,
I am trying to create a signed certificate for the first time with Lets Encrypt, and I am stuck in the DNS verification, where a DNS TXT record must be added to the DNS server, in this case Cloudflare. To do this I am using certbot.
But after for quiet some time adding the requested record, still there is no response from the DNS servers while nslookup at it.
This is the TXT record:
Anyone knows what part am I missing here?
Thanks in advance!
The domain name is: globalfire.pt
Well, it exists now:
_acme-challenge.remote.globalfire.pt. 300 IN TXT "BnYU8q1C-AaImv-YwkWOqcuQ4E89wKSuX2GqIlNl49Q"
Cloudflare usually takes only a few seconds to apply DNS updates.
How come you’re doing this manually? Certbot’s Cloudflare DNS plugin is available on many OSes.
So I must be checking this record wrongly I suppose.
I was doing a simple:
nslookup -q=TXT _acme-challenge.remote.globalfire.pt
directly from my computer and through https://ping.eu/nslookup/.
Through https://network-tools.webwiz.net/nslookup.htm I was able to check now.
How did you check this record?
I just used “dig _acme-challenge.remote.globalfire.pt txt”. I probably used a DNS resolver that didn’t have anything related to the domain cached.
