TITLE

Let's Encrypt doesn't work if hosting type Forwarding is selected

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

Plesk Obsidian v18.0.28_build1800200703.14 os_Ubuntu 18.04

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

When trying to get the "Entry-level protection" Let's Encrypt DV certificate, I can't confirm the selection in the submit dialog, because the button "Get it free" is disabled / greyed out.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Install Let's Encrypt and SSL It! extension
2. Create a subscription
3. Add a additional domain to the subscription
4. Select "Forwarding" as "Hosting type"
5. Click on SSL/TLS Certificates
6. Under "Entry-level protection", click on the button "Get it free"
7. A dialog comes up from the left, type in a Email address in the input field "Email address"

ACTUAL RESULT

The "Get it free" button is disabled, as you can see in the screenshot below.

EXPECTED RESULT

The button shouldn't be greyed out. You can select SSL/TLS Certificates for domains even when their hosting type is "Forwarding".

With the Let's Encrypt function disabled, you have to order the Let's Encrypt certificate with Hosting type set to "Website" and then change the hosting type to "Forwarding" again, although that's a really uncalled-for workaround.

According to developers, it will be fixed in the next release of SSLIt!

It still doesn't work for me.
SSL It! Version 1.5.0-788
Let's Encrypt Version 2.11.0-639
Also, domains with hosting type "Forwarding" aren't shown in the Let's Encrypt extension. https://webhost-lin.demo.plesk.com:8443/modules/letsencrypt/

The letsencrypt dialog is available if you activate SSL support in the hosting settings of this domain prior.

But then letsenrypt fails with "Token not available" - seems that even the letsencrypt request itself gets forwarded (but only on first time install ?!?!)
see: Issue - Installing LetsEncrypt certificate for forward hosting fails initially

Having the same issue. The old Let's Encrypt certificate can be kept, but no new can be received.

The letsencrypt dialog is available if you activate SSL support in the hosting settings of this domain prior.

It does work now for me.

I had this problem because I hadn't enabled SSL / HTTPS support on the domain. Doh!

Hello,

we are currently having this problem.

Domains with a redirect do not renew SSL certificates from LE.

For other reasons we had to disable NGINX. Since then this seems to be the case.

We use current:

Plesk version 18.0.51

SSLIT 1.12.11-1642

SSL and TLS ist activated für the domain.

Any idea how to confgure this better?


Best regards

Currently, it's possible to secure a forwarding domain only when Nginx is installed and enabled on the server.
