DV for Lets Encrypt

[slacker9876]

Hello all,

I am testing the ACME script to provide an ssl certificate to my web GUI on pfsense. I have followed the configuration process and received the "staging" record text which is now in my DNS (correctly). I host my own DNS with BIND How long does it take for pfSense to make another attempt? I'd left the default setting of 120 seconds, but I see no attempt by lets encrypt to attempt the auth. Here is the current log:

How long does pfsense take to honor the request and provide the challenge?</removed></removed>

I thought I might want to show my record, here it is:

; TXT Redords
_acme-challenge.pfsense.labf5.com      IN      TXT    "F9A<removed>fy-1A"</removed>

[jimp]

If you use DNS-manual you have to make the second request yourself, it is manual and not automatic. Wait a couple minutes after manually entering the TXT record and then click the button the issue the certificate again.

Thanks Jim! I did a renew and it picked it up straight away! I am now running on the "prod" cert with my handy green padlock. Great work to the pfsense team!
