      Hi,

      i want to create LE Cert for my PFSense 2.8.
      I use INWX DNS

      I get following error Message:
      Please install oathtool to use 2 Factor Authentication.

      I could not find any pkg for oathtool.
      What would be the solution?
      Or other recommended best practice for this situation?

        acme.sh told me this : https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/dnsapi#dns_inwx

        which seems to correspond with :

          Totally agree with your Gertjan,

          Excatly what i did set-up!

          But for my understanding, the PFSense is missing the oathtool package. So it won't work.

          See error message:

          Please install oathtool to use 2 Factor Authentication.

          so, what could be the solution then?
          or what other best practice recommended?

            acme.sh uses a 'scripted' or 'automated' login against 'INWX'. If an 2FA is needed to passs through, then, afaik, you can't use that access - acme.sh won't be able to grab your phone and copy over the challenge code.

            I'm not a 'INWX' (dono what/who that is to be honest) but I advise you to go to their support (foruim, FAQ, etc) and xheck how other, using 'INWX', set their acme.sh.

            Their support page said : https://www.inwx.com/en/offer/api where acme.sh is mentioned as 'possible'.

            here is a list with open issues with INXW : https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20INWX - maybe yours is there also ?

            My pretty broken advise would be : stop 2FA ....
