Did some tests:

My conclusion (correct me if I am wrong):

When you run mod_md  , you cannot use a client which uses TLS .

It is a limitation when Apache user has an "old" LE account and uses a acme client with/without mod_md

TLS-SNI challenge was disabled by Let's Encrypt back in January, but old users can still use it. Old accounts are whitelisted.


Let's Encrypt says:


....whitelisting mechanisms are live. If you have a certificate renewal that has been failing due to the TLS-SNI disablement, you should now be able to renew.

A note from admin/user at http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=36619#36619


Asked the reporter to file at bugzilla:

Not sure it is a issue.

A suggestion from me for the official release:

I would not publish the official release with mod_md, but offer the two modules (mod_md & mod_ssl) separately for download.

For mod_ssl to work in the vote release, mod_md must also be included and mod_md will catch access to the .well-know directory. In other words: With the Vote release it's not possible to use Lets-Encrypt-Win-Simple (I think).


My response to that:


I think you mean with win-acme client

When it is true what you say then in the Linux world they could maybe not use e.g. their Certbot client either.

I would like to see that a Linux users tries it ?
