in reply to Re^3: Certificate confusion (was: Clear text passwords)
in thread Clear text passwords

dig shows 3 IPs being round robin'd (robinned?). The Let's Encrypt SAN cert works on (www\.)?perlmonks\.(org)|(com)|(net), but the pairsite wildcard cert will only work on the pairsite domain, one subdomain deep. So www.perlmonks.pairsite.com will not work, authentication wise, with either cert. 3 Servers, 8 urls, 2 certs, one of which expires every 90 days, not the most enjoyable way to spend free time, I'm sure.

    Interestingly it looks like it has been setup correctly on 2 of the 3 servers

    $ host www.perlmonks.org www.perlmonks.org is an alias for perlmonks.org. perlmonks.org has address 209.197.123.153 perlmonks.org has address 66.39.54.27 perlmonks.org has address 216.92.34.251 $ openssl s_client -showcerts -servername www.perlmonks.org -connect 2 +09.197.123.153:443 </dev/null 2>&1| grep subject subject=/C=US/postalCode=15203/ST=Pennsylvania/L=Pittsburgh/street=Sui +te 510/street=2403 Sidney Street/O=pair Networks, Inc./OU=Provided by + pair Networks/OU=PairWildcardSSL $250,000/CN=*.pairsite.com $ openssl s_client -showcerts -servername www.perlmonks.org -connect 6 +6.39.54.27:443 </dev/null 2>&1| grep subject subject=/CN=perlmonks.org $ openssl s_client -showcerts -servername www.perlmonks.org -connect 2 +16.92.34.251:443 </dev/null 2>&1| grep subject subject=/CN=perlmonks.org

    There is more than one way to set up Apache to rewrite and find the cert.

    I'm sure the admins will find a stable way.

    The short term certificate is surely only meant for testing.

      Nope, that's how Let's Encrypt certs work. Why 90 days?
