The following certificates have been obtained under [/etc/letsencrypt/live//] as described in the message
cert.pem : SSL server certificate (including public key)
chain.pem : Intermediate Certificates
fullchain.pem : File containing cert.pem and chain.pem combined
privkey.pem : private key
1.3 Automatic renewal of certificates
①Pre-registration test
First, test the automatic update using the following --dry-run option.
With this option, certificates are not renewed, only checked, so there is no need to worry about getting stuck with a limit on the number of times a certificate can be obtained.
1 |
# certbot renew --dry-run |
➁Automatically renew SSL certificates using cron (run at midnight on the 1st of each month)
1 2 |
# crontab -e 0 0 1 * * certbot renew --pre-hook "systemctl stop httpd" --post-hook "systemctl start httpd" |
2. Apache https
Install the following
1 |
# dnf -y install mod_ssl |
2.1 Edit ssl.conf file
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf ●Line 43 : Uncomment and change DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/<FQDN>" ●Line 44 : Uncomment and change ServerName <Domain name>:443 ●Line 85 : Make it a comment and add it below # SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/<FQDN>/cert.pem ●Line 93 : Make it a comment and add it below # SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/<FQDN>/privkey.pem ●Line 103 : Add SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/<FQDN>/chain.pem |
Apache restart
1 |
# systemctl restart httpd |
Allow https in Firewall
1 2 3 4 |
# firewall-cmd --add-service=https --permanent success # firewall-cmd --reload success |
2.2 Redirect HTTP communications to HTTPS
Create .htaccess under /var/www/html/[FQDN]/.
Contents of .htaccess
1 2 3 4 5 |
# vi /var/www/html/[FQDN]/.htaccess RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] |
3. SSL/TLS (Let's Encrypt) settings on the mail server
3.1 Obtaining a Certificate for Mail Server
Obtain a certificate for the mail server, but it cannot be obtained in the same way as above, so the following with the "--standalone" option fails.
1 |
# certbot certonly --standalone -d mail.<domain name> |
If I stop the web server once and then do it, it succeeds as follows
1 2 |
# systemctl stop httpd.service # certbot certonly --standalone -d mail.<domain name> |
