| + | |
| + | {{warning box| The original protocol used by Let’s Encrypt for certificate issuance and management is called ACMEv1. In March of 2018 Letsencrypt introduced support for ACMEv2, a newer version of the protocol that matches what was finalized today as RFC 8555 328. They have been encouraging subscribers to move to the ACMEv2 protocol. |
| + | |
| + | In March 2019 they announced an end of life plan for ACMEv1. |
| + | |
| + | In November of 2019 they will stop allowing new account registrations through their ACMEv1 API endpoint. '''IMPORTANTLY''' Existing accounts will continue to function normally. |
| + | |
| + | In June of 2020 they will stop allowing new domains to validate via ACMEv1. |
| + | |
| + | Starting at the beginning of 2021 they will occasionally disable ACMEv1 issuance and renewal for periods of 24 hours, no more than once per month (OCSP service will not be affected). The intention is to induce client errors that might encourage subscribers to update to clients or configurations that use ACMEv2. |
| + | |
| + | Renewal failures should be limited since new domain validations will already be disabled and we recommend renewing certificates 30 days before they expire. |
| + | |
| + | In June of 2021 they will entirely disable ACMEv1 as a viable way to get a Let’s Encrypt certificate.}} |

They issue valid, trusted certificates, but the client code (and, to a lesser extent, the server code) is likely in a state of flux. At least during the initial stages of the public beta, they're implementing rate-limiting, allowing no more than five certificates per domain in a rolling seven-day period. This may make them unsuitable for users of dynamic DNS services. The latest information about rate limiting should be posted in [https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/beta-program-announcements/1631 this topic] at the letsencrypt.org forums.

− | At this time (January 2016), a contrib is under active development using the letsencrypt.sh script. See [http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8676 Bug 8276] and the [https://github.com/reetp/smeserver-letsencrypt/tree/smeserver-letsencrypt-0.1 GitHub page] for further information.
| + | Multiple clients are available for the Letsencrypt services. The official "certbot" client from letsencrypt.org is quite full-featured, but has a number of dependencies that it needs to install. It also requires a newer version of Python than is included with a standard SME Server installation. Due to this complexity, and the lack of compatibility with SME 8.x, this document describes installation and use of ''[https://github.com/lukas2511/dehydrated dehydrated]'', an alternative client implemented as a BASH shell script. |

− | Users running Windows XP and using either Internet Explorer or Google Chrome will experience certificate errors when visiting web sites with LetsEncrypt certificates issued before March 25, 2016. Firefox on Windows XP does not have this problem. This results from a broken SSL implementation in Windows XP. Certificates issued since March 25, 2016 have implemented a workaround and should now work correctly with all browsers under Windows XP.

− | You'll also need to create a custom template fragment for Apache:
| + | ===Step by step configuration=== |
− | mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
| |
− | nano -w /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/VirtualHosts40ACME
| |
| | | |
− | The contents of that file should look like: | + | ====Hosts and domains for the certificate==== |
− | # Alias for letsencrypt
| + | This contrib will obtain a single certificate from Let's Encrypt. The certificate will include all the domains and hostnames that: |
− | Alias /.well-known/acme-challenge /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/.well-known/acme-challenge
| + | * Are configured on your SME Server (e.g., through the Server Manager), and |
− | Again, Ctrl-X to exit, Y to save.
| + | * Are configured to use Let's Encrypt. |
| | | |
− | Expand the template and restart apache:
| + | For example, your SME Server may contain the following domains and hostnames: |
− | expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
| |
− | service httpd-e-smith restart
| |
| | | |
− | Now you're ready to run letsencrypt.sh and get your certificate.
| + | * domain1.com |
− | letsencrypt.sh -c
| + | ** www.domain1.com |
| + | ** mail.domain1.com |
| + | ** ftp.domain1.com |
| | | |
− | The script will run for a moment and should report success. If it does, look in /etc/letsencrypt.sh/certs/YOURDOMAIN and see if you have your files there. You should see a number of .pem files, at least one .csr file, and five symbolic links (chain.pem, cert.csr, cert.pem, fullchain.pem, and privkey.pem). If you do, congratulations! You've successfully obtained your certificate. The hook script should have also configured your server to use the new certificate. To make sure, run
| + | * domain2.com |
− | config show modSSL | + | ** www.domain2.com |
− | and make sure there are values set for crt, key, and CertificateChainFile.
| + | ** mail.domain2.com |
| + | For each DOMAIN that you want to be included in the certificate, run this command: |
| + | db domains setprop $DOMAIN letsencryptSSLcert enabled |
| | | |
− | As above, once you've obtained your certificate and configured your server, test your server with a tool like [https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ SSLLabs.com] to make sure it's working properly.
| + | Using the above example, one invocation of the command would look like this: |
| + | db domains setprop domain1.com letsencryptSSLcert enabled |
| | | |
− | == Troubleshooting ==
| + | For each HOSTNAME that you want to be included in the certificate, run this command: |
| + | db hosts setprop $HOSTNAME letsencryptSSLcert enabled |
| | | |
− | Errors in the certificate files may prevent Apache and some other services from starting. If you previously had custom settings for modSSL, revert those with:
| + | Using the above example, one invocation of the command would look like this: |
− | config setprop modSSL crt (old value) | + | db hosts setprop www.domain1.com letsencryptSSLcert enabled |
− | config setprop modSSL key (old value)
| |
− | config setprop modSSL CertificateChainFile (old value--if this property was empty, delete it using the command line below)
| |
| | | |
− | If you did not have custom settings for modSSL, remove your changes with:
| + | You can obtain a certificate for either of the following: all domains, all hostnames, or all domains AND hostnames. Only set one of the following. |
− | config delprop modSSL crt
| |
− | config delprop modSSL key
| |
− | config delprop modSSL CertificateChainFile
| |
| | | |
− | Once you've made these changes, do:
| + | config setprop letsencrypt configure domains |
− | signal-event post-upgrade | |
− | signal-event reboot
| |
| | | |
− | == Renewal of the certificates ==
| + | config setprop letsencrypt configure hosts |
− | As part of the security of Letsencrypt the certificates must be renewed every 3 months. The process will differ depending on whether you're using the official client or letsencrypt.sh.
| |
| | | |
− | === Using Letsencrypt.sh ===
| + | config setprop letsencrypt configure all |
− | When run, the Letsencrypt.sh script will check your existing certificate to see how long it's valid. If it has less than 30 days' lifetime remaining (by default; this can be changed by setting RENEW_DAYS in config to something other than 30), the script will renew your certificates. If more than 30 days remain, the script will exit without further action. All that's necessary is to run letsencrypt.sh daily:
| |
− | nano -w /etc/cron.daily/call-letsencrypt.sh
| |
| | | |
− | Enter the following in this file:
| + | To use individually enabled hosts or domains leave the default none. |
− | #!/bin/bash
| |
− | /usr/local/bin/letsencrypt.sh -c
| |
− | Ctrl-X to exit, Y to save. Then make it executable:
| |
− | chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/call-letsencrypt.sh
| |
| | | |
− | == Backup ==
| + | config setprop letsencrypt configure none |
− | Your certificate, private key, and other important information are stored in /etc/letsencrypt.sh, which is not included in the standard SME Server backup routines. Make sure to add this directory to your backups. See, e.g., [[Backup with dar#Adding files and directories|Backup with dar]] if you're using the workstation backup feature.
| |
| | | |
− | == Creating certificates for internal servers ==
| |
− | {{Note Box|These procedures need to be revised to work with letsencrypt.sh}}
| |
− | You may have one or more internal servers on your network for which you want or need trusted TLS certificates, but which aren't directly accessible from the outside. The Letsencrypt service can handle this too, although the process isn't quite as simple as shown above.
| |
| | | |
− | Assumptions:
| + | With the system configuration described above, setting this to "domains" will obtain a certificate covering domain1.com and domain2.com, but not www.domain1.com, etc. Setting it to "hosts" will obtain a certificate covering www.domain1.com, mail.domain1.com, ftp.domain1.com, etc., but not domain1.com or domain2.com. Setting this property to "all" will include all domain names and hostnames in the certificate. '''See [[Letsencrypt/Troubleshooting#Some_challenges_complete_successfully_but_some_hostnames_fail|NOTE]] before setting this to "all".''' |
− | * You've followed the instructions above to install the Letsencrypt client, and it's working
| |
− | * The hostname for which you need a certificate resolves, from the outside, to your SME Server. For example, you've registered yourdomain.tld, and a DNS record for *.yourdomain.tld points to your SME Server. You want to create a certificate for privateserver.yourdomain.tld
| |
− | * Port 80 on your SME Server is open to the Internet--you aren't behind a firewall, or some ISP filtering, that would block it.
| |
| | | |
− | You can either create the certificate on your SME Server, and then copy it to the internal server using whatever means that server provides; or (if the internal server is able to run the Letsencrypt client) you can generate the certificate on the internal server.
| + | ==== Enable test mode ==== |
− | | + | After installing and configuring all the domains and hosts, the next step is to use test mode, which is enabled by default. This will obtain certificates from the staging server. The rate limits discussed in the introduction won't apply, so any errors or other issues won't prevent you from obtaining your production certificate. Enable test mode using this command: |
− | === Generate the certificate on the SME Server === | + | config setprop letsencrypt status test |
− | You could simply follow the instructions above, using the FQDN of your internal server. However, those instructions require that you take down your web server briefly. If you were generating a new certificate for the SME Server, you'd need to do this anyway, so that the web server would load the new certificate. If you're generating a certificate for a different internal server, though, you may not want (and you do not need) to take down your SME Server's web server.
| + | signal-event console-save |
− | | |
− | Follow the instructions above to create the certificate, but replace the letsencrypt command line with:
| |
− | ./letsencrypt-auto certonly --webroot --webroot-path /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html \
| |
− | --email admin@yourdomain.tld -d privateserver.yourdomain.tld
| |
− | | |
− | The Letsencrypt client will run and place the certificate files in /etc/letsencrypt/live/privateserver.yourdomain.tld/ on your SME Server. You can then copy them to your internal server and install them using whatever mechanism that server provides. This will not alter the configuration of your SME Server.
| |
− | | |
− | Once the certificate files are created, installing them on the internal server can be automated. One possible way to do this is to first ensure that the root user on your SME server has an [[SSH Public-Private Keys|SSH public key]] generated, that key does not have a passphrase assigned, and that key is trusted by the root user on your internal server. Then, you can add the following to your renewal script:
| |
− | | |
− | /opt/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto certonly --renew-by-default --webroot \
| |
− | --webroot-path /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html --email admin@yourdomain.tld \
| |
− | -d privateserver.yourdomain.tld
| |
− | | |
− | export CERTDIR="/etc/letsencrypt/live/privateserver.yourdomain.tld"
| |
− | scp $CERTDIR/cert.pem root@privateserver:/etc/pki/tls/certs/privateserver.yourdomain.tld.crt
| |
− | scp $CERTDIR/privkey.pem root@privateserver:/etc/pki/tls/private/privateserver.yourdomain.tld.key
| |
− | scp $CERTDIR/chain.pem root@privateserver:/etc/pki/tls/certs/server-chain.crt
| |
− | ssh root@privateserver /sbin/service httpd restart
| |
− | | |
− | You will, of course, need to modify the paths on the internal server to be consistent with where that server expects the certificate files to be; the paths above are applicable to a CentOS-based server.
| |
− | | |
− | === Generate the certificate on the internal server ===
| |
− | If the internal server is Unix-y and otherwise meets the requirements for the Letsencrypt client, you can run the client on the internal server using manual domain authentication. This will require you to create a small file on your SME Server, which you can delete once the certificate is created.
| |

− | The letsencrypt command would look like: | |
− | ./letsencrypt-auto certonly --manual --email admin@yourdomain.tld -d privateserver.yourdomain.tld
| |
− | | |
− | When the Letsencrypt client runs, it will show you a challenge like the following, with different random strings:
| |
− | Make sure your web server displays the following content at
| |
− | http://privateserver.yourdomain.tld/.well-known/acme-challenge/U8AGPrh8wTM9wYpaOGUmfihZezzoLrCAhspJYeO-lsc before continuing:
| |
− |
| |
− | U8AGPrh8wTM9wYpaOGUmfihZezzoLrCAhspJYeO-lsc.oYz0Q5G7t8oAAhKBGu6Y9InuE1eP2CRhR-RtUVXvloc
| |
− | | |
− | At this point, on your SME Server, you'll need to create that file:
| |
− | # mkdir -p /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/.well-known/acme-challenge
| |
− | # echo U8AGPrh8wTM9wYpaOGUmfihZezzoLrCAhspJYeO-lsc.oYz0Q5G7t8oAAhKBGu6Y9InuE1eP2CRhR-RtUVXvloc > /home/e-smith/files/primary/html/.well-known/acme-challenge/U8AGPrh8wTM9wYpaOGUmfihZezzoLrCAhspJYeO-lsc
| |
− | | |
− | Then press the Enter key on your internal server. As of this writing (10 Dec 2015), the client has a bug which reports "Self-verify of challenge failed", but it will create the certificates anyway (and it will correctly tell you that they're created). Once the client finishes and tells you the certificates are created, you can delete the nonce from your SME Server:
| |
− | # rm /home/e-smith/files/primary/html/.well-known/acme-challenge/U8AGPrh8wTM9wYpaOGUmfihZezzoLrCAhspJYeO-lsc
| |
− | | |
− | The certificate files will be in /etc/letsencrypt/live/privateserver.yourdomain.tld/ on your internal server.

| |
| | | |
− | Then run
| + | You can now run dehydrated for the first time, and make sure it's able to connect to the Let's Encrypt servers, validate the hostnames you're requesting, and issue certificates. To do this, run |
| + | dehydrated -c |
| | | |
− | signal-event console-save
| + | If it prints only "# INFO: Using main config file /etc/dehydrated/config" and returns you to the shell prompt, see [[Bugzilla:10300]]. |
| | | |
− | Create test certificates (file is in the path so should be OK)
| + | {{Note box|Solution for error "Malformed account ID in KeyID header URL" using API 2, for contrib versions 0.6.13 or older See [[Bugzilla:10828]] or update to latest contrib}} |
| | | |
− | letsencrypt.sh -c -x | + | If this runs without errors, try to connect to your server-manager page. You should see an error that the security certificate wasn't issued by a trusted certification authority; this is perfectly normal. However, there should be a certificate, it should include all the hostnames you wanted included, and it should be valid for the next ninety days. If this was successful, proceed to production. |
| | | |
− | Once you are satisfied with your test | + | ====Enable Production Mode==== |
| + | Once you've successfully tested your installation, set it to production mode using these commands: |
| | | |
| config setprop letsencrypt status enabled | | config setprop letsencrypt status enabled |
− |
| |
| signal-event console-save | | signal-event console-save |
| + | |
| + | Then obtain a new certificate from the Let's Encrypt production server: |
| + | dehydrated -c -x |
| | | |
− | and
| + | The -x flag here is needed to force dehydrated to obtain a new certificate, even though you have an existing certificate that's valid for more than 30 days. |
| | | |
− | mv /etc/letsencrypt.sh/private_key.pem /etc/letsencrypt.sh/private_key.test | + | If this command succeeded, congratulations! You've successfully obtained a valid, trusted TLS certificate, which will automatically renew itself in perpetuity. |
− | letsencrypt.sh -c -x
| |
| | | |
− | Note thereafter you ONLY need to run
| + | Once you've obtained your certificate and configured your server, test your server with a tool like [https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ SSLLabs.com] to make sure it's working properly. |
