Question no TXT challenge proposed in Let's encrypt

Hello,

I trying to issue a new certificate for a website i migrated in plesk. The DNS are external and i currently not updated the A record. To prevent certificate errors to visitors, i woul'd like to issue a let's encrypt certificate before changing the "A" DNS record to the new webserver IP. But the let's encrypt extension does not provide the ability to add a txt record to generate a certificate. How can i perform this with Plesk ? I tried all options (wilcard ,... )

Thank you

You need to be able to resolve the domain on the server to issue the Lets Encrypt SSL.

If you want to use wildcard you need to add the TXT record for the domain you are using in the Domain Registrar -> host settings then go and reissue the SSL.

yes it's working now, the domain have to resolve to the server even if we select wilcard certificate
