For this to work, you need to be hosted on Cloudflare platform. Don’t worry, a free account will do! Just add in your DNS panel a CNAME type record with the name _acme-challenge.www and a content target yourdomainname.com
I’m assuming that you already uploaded the folder. Right?! If not, please create a folder .well-known in your domain root directory. To test it out, just put a text file within the folder and try to access the folder in browser. If the filename is eg: text.txt, do your domainname.com/text.txt
Can’t access that file over the browser, just add an alias definition on your httpd-vhosts.conf file
Alias /.well-known "directoryname/.well-known" <Directory directoryname/.well-known> AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory>
Use the powershell command line with administrator privileges. You can’t install the module remotely without do in that!
1 – Install the Posh-ACME module
More on that at github developer webpage
powershell -command "Install-Module -Name Posh-ACME -Scope CurrentUser"
2 – Allow the module to run without restrictions
powershell -command "Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force"
3 – Import the module remotely
More on that at powershell developer webpage
powershell -command "Import-Module Posh-ACME"
Set a test mode environment (invalid certificate)
Only use this section to test before production
powershell -command "Set-PAServer LE_STAGE"
4 – Production mode (valid certificate)
LetsEncrypt only permits 50 new certificates per week
powershell -command "Set-PAServer LE_PROD"
5 – Create the SAN certificate with your Global API Key from Cloudflare
powershell -command "New-PACertificate '*.onedomain.pt','onedomain.pt','*.twodomain.pt','twodomain.pt' -AcceptTOS -Contact YourPersonalEmail -DnsPlugin Cloudflare -PluginArgs @{CFAuthEmail='YourCloudflareEmail'; CFAuthKey='YourCloudflareGlobalAPI'} -Verbose"6 -Find your SAN certificate folder location
powershell -command "Get-PACertificate | fl"
