      Hi,

      I'm running pfSense 2.4.1 and wanted to use Let's encrypt certificates, so installed the ACME package.

      Inside "Account keys" i fill out Name and description, then successfully create Account key and even when pressing "Register acme key account" i get a white hook.

      But after pressing "Save" the previous "account key" window opens and there is no account key.
      Additional i get a warning message from pfsense with: "pfSenseConfigurator" pfSense is restoring the configuration /cf/conf/backup/config-1510312094.xml @ 2017-11-10 15:43:38

      Does anybody know how to resolve this error?

      Regards,
      Tantony

        Just had exactly the same issue. Seems to be a general problem.

        system log:

          It's working fine here for me. I can create a test or production key.

          Perhaps you used a non-XML-safe character in the name or description?

            Good hint! I was using a name with German umlaut. It works fine using standard letters.

            Thank you!

                I remember posting somewhere on this forum about this ACME package that even a space " " in the name (field) will give a situation were the account key exists, but can't be show or edited anymore …

                No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                Edit : and where are the logs ??
