Let's Encrypt Cert Renewals Email

Post by bob.lenz »

Hello! I'm receiving the following email regarding Let's Encrypt and the certificate no longer working in my EFA Project Box (3.0.2.6) after Feb 13. Any ideas on how to fix this so the EFA box will request the proper certificate type? Thanks!
Hello,

Action may be required to prevent your Let's Encrypt certificate renewals from breaking.

If you already received a similar e-mail, this one contains updated information.

Your Let's Encrypt client used ACME TLS-SNI-01 domain validation to issue a certificate in the past 60 days. Below is a list of names and IP addresses validated (max of one per account):

DNS Domain Name (IP Address) on 2018-12-08

TLS-SNI-01 validation is reaching end-of-life. It will stop working temporarily on February 13th, 2019, and permanently on March 13th, 2019.
Any certificates issued before then will continue to work for 90 days after their issuance date.

You need to update your ACME client to use an alternative validation method (HTTP-01, DNS-01 or TLS-ALPN-01) before this date or your certificate renewals will break and existing certificates will start to expire.

Our staging environment already has TLS-SNI-01 disabled, so if you'd like to test whether your system will work after February 13, you can run against staging: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/staging-environment/

If you're a Certbot user, you can find more information here:

Our forum has many threads on this topic. Please search to see if your question has been answered, then open a new thread if it has not:

Hi
You should be able to change this in the file /usr/local/sbin/EFA-Renew-Certs.

Unfortunately, I do not see anything talking about the encryption level in this script.

Unfortunately, I do not have a solution yet. I was hoping someone could give direction here. We can't be the only two with this issue. Let's Encrypt documentation on certbot did not lead me anywhere as it doesn't seem to follow Let's Encrypt's rules although I did find out that they require version 0.28 and EFA seems to be running on 0.20 currently. Worried about updating it and breaking something else with SSL.

HI All,

I am presuming that the statement in the Cert Bot Auto file in /opt/certbot/certbot-auto answers our questions
Comment at top of the file reads
"
Download and run the Latest version of the Certbot Client
Note this script is auto generated and Self Updating
If you want to edit it locally please run with the --no-self-upgrade FLAG
"
So I am presume that the CertBot client will auto upgrade itself when necessary
Can anyone validate this statement for me?

What I have done is on version EFA-3.0.2.6 is login to console

run yum update (At time I did this today, had 216 updates to perform)
Then I ran certbot-auto renew which then upgraded certbot 0.21 to 0.32.0 and when completed. This then used the HTTP-01 validation method

That did the trick for me! Thanks for the help, Gspearson

Here's a complete list of what I did:

Go to Shell
su
yum update --yes to all updates
cd /opt/certbot
./certbot-auto renew
exit
