I have a number of domains and am trying to automate renewal. Most of my hosting is on Windows in IIS, so am using PowerShell and LE64.exe. I have written scripts to update my GoDaddy DNS and import the .pfx in to IIS etc. My question is, can you use a combination of wildcards, www and root domain (…

I hate to keep being that guy, but yes they do. You can't add and remove individual values to an existing record. It requires PUT'ing a new copy of the whole record and all of its values. The body of the request is a JSON array of objects where each TXT value is a data field in the object. Here's t…

Not sure I follow, but Let's Encrypt does not issue certificates with redundant DNS labels. E.g., if you try to get a cert for example.com, www.example.com and *.example.com, the request will be denied because the www subdomain label is superfluous to the * label. That said, technically it should …

[image] HeMan: Most DNSs (including GoDaddy and their API) won't let you create two TXT records with the same name. Actually, having multiple TXT records under the same name is perfectly fine, and common. What you could have problems with is the GoDaddy who heavily restricts access to their …

I am not trying to cover superfluous sub-domains, just *.example.com and example.com . The docs say: "Please note that at the moment wildcards are only supported by the v2.0 of the API and they can only be issued if DNS verification is used." And there is no way of specifying multiple validation m…

[image] HeMan: GoDaddy is hardly a small host But a poor host nonetheless if you'd ask me. [image] HeMan: And as I am using LE64 (and being on Windows, that seems like the only\best option) I don't have the option of processing the challenges one by one do I? I'm not familiar with Win…

[image] HeMan: And as I am using LE64 (and being on Windows, that seems like the only\best option) I don't have the option of processing the challenges one by one do I? The authors of PoshAcme and CertifyTheWeb both post here frequently. Their clients tend to be the most robust and RFC compli…

[image] HeMan: Most DNSs (including GoDaddy and their API) won't let you create two TXT records with the same name. You don't need to create two TXT records with the same name. You need to create one TXT record with two "data" values.

I know this sounds cheep, but I hesitate to pay more for the automated renewal process I only need for the sake of the "free" certificates, than I currently pay for my handful of paid certificates... But will give PostAcme a spin tomorrow and see how I get on with that... Important distinction on t…

[image] HeMan: Important distinction on the TXT records for sure, but unfortunately that's still something GoDaddy doesn't offer. GoDaddy absolutely does offer this feature (as it is standard functionality in DNS). Almost all DNS providers do. The UI for creating records tends to be different…

I should have been more specific; they don't support this through the API. They use the name as the key to set\delete records (which seems like the only unique reference they can use?) so there is no way of adding a second value without it just updating the first.

I thought GoDaddy limited access to their DNS API by requiring a certain number of registered domain names. Might be relevant here? [image] GoDaddy no longer allows API access to clients (e.g. for DNS-based cert renewal) if you have less than 50 domains Help I…
