Wordpress Multisite - Possible to configure letsencrypt without separate apache files?

Hi,

Does letsencrypt support SNI, and could you please point me to a resource about setting it up if so?

SNI is about your server config, not what an SSL issuer can do.

Server Name Indication

You don't need to intentionally setup SNI, the thing you want is setup different ssl hosts.(however that is not what you wants to do if you don't want to set up vhost each time)

@blue928

there is a better approach, how can we setup LE to work with a WordPress multisite network?

So, my suggestion at your situation right now :take advantage of SAN names LE can issue (Up to 100 domains). Which means only use one cert that contains all your client domains.(Or you probably need to setup virtual hosts for each domain).
**Warning:**If you use this method, remember to add each new san to your existing vhost.

@blue928

The ultimate goal here, if possible, is to not have to go into the server environment and manually setup a vhost file each time a new TLD is mapped. I was thinking about writing a script to automate the process, or a cron job, if LE requires a .conf file per domain name.

Actually, the ultimate (personal) suggestion is to get a CPanel and add domains under one account, use letsencrypt automatic SSL. (That's easier but costs more each month)

Thank you and good luck,
