Title: Acme client + Namecheap DNS
Post by: DocGonzo74 on April 13, 2022, 06:05:53 PM
I am having an issue using the acme client dns verification against namecheap dns. (DDNS). 

My DDNS works great after properly configuring the newer client. 
In Acme, I'm set up to issue a wildcard cert *.mydomain.org.  The wildcard DDNS works fine..

When I try to issue the certificate, I'm getting this error:

*.mydoman.org:Verify error:During secondary validation: DNS problem: query timed out looking up TXT for _acme-challenge.mydomain.org


Watching the process, my Challenge appears to be working (Acme client adds its own _acme-challenge txt record automatically.  After the timer expires, it checks for cert issuance and I get the query timed out error. 

Has anyone run into this in the past?

Did more troubleshooting and figured it out.   was on the DNS side  (names weren't set up properly and didn't match certs).  Fixed the names and all worked great.
