Include www. alias in LetsEncrypt SSL

samjonsmith

When your using local DNS and requesting a LetsEncrypt SSL certificate for a domain it doesn't seem to include the www. alias - seems as you can't add that yourself as a separate domain, it should also include that otherwise if not using cloud flare or similar there will be a common name mismatch and it might come up with warnings in the users browser when using www (e.g. Nord Threat Protection).

This is only an issue when using the local DNS and pointing a domain to the local nameservers - doesn't matter when using CloudFlare because their certificate covers it.

is this for a normal hosted website/domain? that should include the www subdomain on the certificate.
i'm using local enhance dns servers and all the live and staging domains include the www subdomain in the certificate.
the only domains that don't are the platform domains which were created on specified subdomains in the first place.

We use local DNS and all our LetsEncrypt certificates cover the www. part.

Are you sure your root and www. are all pointing at the same IP address and you are the authoritive nameserver for the domain in question?

Same here — we use external DNS (outside Enhance) and when we apply the SSL certificate it issues correctly for both the root domain and www without any issues.
