Hello all, 

I'm seeking for a clarity advice rather than fixing an issue since I don't 
think it's an issue - do let me know otherwise. I recently tried to install an 
SSL certificate for my FreeIPA server to get rid of the "SSL error" shown on my 
web browser. I used the official FreeIPA Let's Encrypt management script 
(https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa-letsencrypt) to install the cert but did 
not succeed. I'm getting the following error:

Requesting a certificate for newvipa.homelab.internal
An unexpected error occurred:
The server will not issue certificates for the identifier :: Error creating new 
order :: Cannot issue for "newvipa.homelab.internal": Domain name does not end 
with a valid public suffix (TLD)

It appears my domain suffix is not acceptable as it's not a public suffix. This 
is normal because the domain is intended for internal use. My question is, 
should I be using .com suffix for my domain (homelab.com) and create a 
subdomain (sub.homelab.com) for internal use so I can use the ssl cert? I know 
it isn't necessary to use the SSL cert if the server is only meant for internal 
use - I know it's my server and I can trust it. I'm just more curious if my 
current domain is following best practice for internal use and I should only be 
concerned with the issue if it's for public use.

As always, thank you all for assistance.
