evidently, my renewal has not been working (domain my.domain.com is a sanitized placeholder). it started trying to renew 4 weeks ago - here's what is recorded via my logging - the dns txt record looks to be written successfully (and the certificate was originally created successfully at end of march), but then it fails - the order status request returns {"type":"urn:ietf:params:acme:error:malformed","status":405,"detail":"The request message was malformed"}:

I will add --debug and see if anything else is added that could provide more detail

[yajrendrag]

here's result with --debug & --dnssleep added: log

full command line: /root/.acme.sh/acme.sh --cron --debug --home /root/.acme.sh --dnssleep >> /root/.acme.sh/acme.logger 2>&1

domain sanitized to subdomain.my.domain.com
csr text sanitized to my my-csr-text

EDIT - note that i fixed the --dnssleep option to specifiy a time, but it didn't make any difference - renew still fails.

[yajrendrag]

ok, this is apparently not a dns api issue - i changed the --server option to letsencrypt and issued a new cert - and it works fine... something must be up with zerossl

[bbruun]

Hi @yajrendrag
This isn't for the DNS provider plugin dns_dnsservices so I'm at a loss to help/assit you.
This DNS plugin hasn't been merged yet by Neilpang yet (#4151).

I would suggest to run the acme.sh --renew --dns dns_ZYX --log --dnssleep 300 with the --log parameter and --dnssleep 300 parameter as from the log it seems to be set to 15 seconds which might not be enough for your DNS provider to propergate the DNS update when issuing/renewing (aka a change at your DNS provider) and then create a ticket for the appropiate DNS provider or if that does not work or you do suspect from the --log output that it is zerossl that has issues with the FQDN(s) for the certificate then a new general acme.sh issue.

[yajrendrag]

I see, apologies for my misunderstanding of the purpose of this thread, and thanks for your reply/suggestions.

[bbruun]

No problem at all @yajrendrag - the --dnssleep parameter needs an integer for the number of seconds to wait to check the DNS TXT record settings

from acme.sh --help

  --dnssleep <seconds>              The time in seconds to wait for all the txt records to propagate in dns api mode.
                                    It's not necessary to use this by default, acme.sh polls dns status by DOH automatically.

Hope you get it fixed or that the --dnssleep fixes the problem as it seems (from the above logs) that it is a DNS propagation issue and not a ZeroSSL issue as such as --server works.

[frenzeldk]

I'm trying to create a certificate for two domains, that both have their primary DNS at dns.services.
When running

acme.sh --issue -d domainA.tld -d domainB.tld -d '*.domainA.tld' -d '*.domainB.tld' --server letsencrypt --dns dns_dnsservices

I'm getting the following entries on dns.services for Domain A and no entries for Domain B, and as such validation for Domain B fails.

[bbruun]

Hi @frenzeldk

I've not come across multiple TLD's in one cert via --dns <provider> before, only via the http method and webroot option.

I'll get back to you (I need to buy another domain to test it out).

If you are in a rush and happen to be running your own Linux box to host your service (and SSL offloading) then you can install and use HAProxy - it is capable of handling multiple TLDs in individual .pem files (with the full chain in them). PM me for info/help on that if you are in dire need now. Other wise the dns_dnsservices only support one domain.

[frenzeldk]

@bbruun thanks for looking into it! I have taken care of my immediate needs by using manual DNS validation.

And thanks for your offer of help - luckily I'm pretty well versed in the workings of nginx (which is my reverse proxy provider of choice) :)

[bbruun]

@frenzeldk I've had some issues with the pull commit actions that need to pass on Solaris (#4287 but it seems to have been fixed now.

The update will handle multiple zones in the API correctly, so it will be merged to the Dev branch tonight and have to re-pass the pull commit actions again and then have Nielpang merge Dev into Master before you can get it the correct way. But it is comming.

Pull request #4293

[bbruun]

@frenzeldk - the fix has been merged into master so you can update acme.sh now and use --dns dns_dnsservices with multiple TLD's without problems.

[frenzeldk]

@bbruun I didn't have the need to try it out before now, but it worked like a charm! Thank you very much :)

[hehoe20]

@bbruun it seems like the _acme-challenge.domainX.com TXT records are not removed on some of my domains although the acme.sh scripts says the records are removed they still exist on some of my domains (2 out of 3 tested).

./acme.sh --issue -d domainX.com -d *.domainX.com --dns dns_dnsservices --server letsencrypt --dnssleep 60

I've just tried on 3 of my domains - on two of them the TXT records are not removed, and I have to do this manually.

[bbruun]

@hehoe20 I'm sorry for the long wait - I've been moved to another section in at work so my workload had increased for a period, but I'm back.

I've been using the script extensively since I made it and I do not have any leftover _acme-challenge domains lingering - both for acme.sh or my cert-manager-webhook-dns-services operator for k8s.

There is a API limit to the DNS Services API so if you have been running a few tests or tried to create a few domains too fast after each other then the DNS Services API will not work as it has a max number of API requests pr 5min (IIRC) and the error isn't caught by the acme.sh script, but the curl if you run the acme.sh script with --log --debug 2 will give you a curl or two that you can try, if you observe one or more TXT records lingering afterwards. The curl's will give you a 429 error and an explanation about too many requests. That I cannot fix - for that you need to ask DNS Services for the API request limit to be increased. I've hit this a few (read a lot) during creating and testing the script.

[sorenjacobjensen]

@hehoe20, please submit a support ticket with domain and approx timestamps for when you ran the script, if possible, and we can try check the logs.
The limitations are 25 LOGIN requests per 5 minutes and all other requests are 1000 per 5 minutes.

[hehoe20]

@bbruun - I've just ran an renew of all my certs (7 domains).
The first domain that is renew'ed is dhcgurus.com
All TXT records at that domains are left (and I've not removed them manually for now) - I did not do any other API requests before running the commands below. Also the TXT records for some of my other domains, is still persistent - I did not enable any other logging than the default. Unfortunately.

The renewCerts.sh contains:

Hi @hehoe20

There is an API limit on the dns.services API that the script cannot accommodate as each certificate you renew is a new run.

For next renewal I would recommend you add --dns-sleep 120 to the renew script to avoid hitting the throttle as it will leave some of the TXT records after updates as per the usage description https://dns.services/knowledgebase/article/38/acme-sh-acme-protokol-support-til-certifikatudstedelse/

It is unfortunately not something I can do anything about except to take your time to renew the certificates or spread out the renewal of multiple certificates by ~5-10min per certificate eg by a cronjob.

[hehoe20]

Hi @bbruun - I'm aware of that but I still think it's weird, because this was the first run, and dhcgurus.com domain is the first request. And @sorenjacobjensen mention that the limitations is 25 LOGIN requests per 5 minutes and all other requests are 1000 per 5 minutes.
But @sorenjacobjensen might look into the log files at dns.services - the timestamps for the first request is in my post above.

Hi @hehoe20 When I renew 2 certs I hit the API limit, you state you've renewed 7, so that is the most likely cause.
I've raised a ticket for DNS.Services so we can hopefully get a solution to the problem. The ideal would be no API limits but that is what we have.

[hehoe20]

@bbruun you're right, and thank you! - And yes, I renewed 7 domains - but the first domain that is renewed is dhcgurus.com (the other 6 is renewed aftwerwards) - and no other request have been made. So I think the TXT records should at least have been removed for that domain.
