moswak

Regular Pleskian
Plesk 17.8.11 Update #63
Centos 7.6.1810
Lets Engrypt 2.8.2

On a server I get the message from today with several Domains

Invalid response from https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/authz/xz9ySowKdL8eOJDAdpbFkldCSjTeyCbS-EKcflSFSJ4.
details:
Type: urn: ietf: params: acme: error: unauthorized
Status: 403
Detail: The key authorization file from the server did not match this challenge "B6sNLTUZG8Qoc890qfG5Pk58uDGoBtYkWNVM3LS5ivk.bG_iXeQskOnqm-QfTa07Ye-gqIkn0LOFcg0OjI2tMmk" = "B6sNLTUZG8Qoc890qfG5Pk58uDGoBtYkWNVM3LS5ivk.ymWDU6rAJGYkCVblO9YPSYq0GtEcl-9gcb1RxzfUO9E"

http: //thedomain.tld/.well-known/acme-challenge/B6sNLTUZG8Qoc890qfG5Pk58uDGoBtYkWNVM3LS5ivk.

is callable and contains

B6sNLTUZG8Qoc890qfG5Pk58uDGoBtYkWNVM3LS5ivk.ymWDU6rAJGYkCVblO9YPSYq0GtEcl-9gcb1RxzfUO9E

but the message is:
Detail: The key authorization file from the server did not match this challenge "B6sNLTUZG8Qoc890qfG5Pk58uDGoBtYkWNVM3LS5ivk.bG_iXeQskOnqm-QfTa07Ye-gqIkn0LOFcg0OjI2tMmk" = "B6sNLTUZG8Qoc890qfG5Pk58uDGoBtYkWNVM3LS5ivk.ymWDU6rAJGYkCVblO9YPSYq0GtEcl-9gcb1RxzfUO9E"

what is going wrong here suddenly?
 
Make sure that the website is available by HTTP when SSL is turned off. To install LetsEncrypt certificate, website should be available by HTTP.
 
There are no new certificates they already exist and can not be renewed.

Even if I reach the domain via http the same error occurs.
Even if I delete the existing certificate and create a new one, the same error occurs.
 
i found this Key authorization file did not match

"There’s a known bug that affects some users related to the Let’s Encrypt account id. Can you try setting your account email again under Settings (you can update it to the same email address), this will reset the Let’s Encrypt account id internally."

I then entered another email address and then it worked.

kinda weird ...
