DNS validation currently broken?

With re-validating certs, I managed to renew the certs using http-01 without issue, but anything that uses dns-01 as a validation seems to fail.

The error certbot is getting is:

(domains trimmed) "error":{"type":"compound","detail":"Errors during validation","subproblems":[{"type":"urn:ietf:params:acme:error:incorrectResponse","detail":"Response received didn't match the challenge's requirements","code":0},{"type":"urn:ietf:params:acme:error:incorrectResponse","detail":"Response received didn't match the challenge's requirements","code":0}],"code":0}}],"wildcard":false}

I managed to do a successful dig against multiple nameservers, and the DNS TXT response seemed to be correct.

    • Lise Ringvold Kristoffersen one of the internal only domains I use that I was attempting DNS validation on is capwap.crc.id.au

    • As further to this, if I run the same commandset against the LetsEncrypt directory endpoint, things work straight away and a cert is issued.

      However, as updating a cert requires this device to reload and dump all access points, I'd rather set it up to use a longer-lived cert so the wifi network doesn't go down as often.

      Still no luck... The output from certbot:

    • mkon That's strange... I altered the script to not return to certbot until it had a positive response from both 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 - and get the following:

      Yet the validation still fails.

      Is it possible that there's a DNSSEC error somewhere in the chain?

    • Given this thread with a similar problem that does NOT have DNSSEC enabled, there goes that theory.

      https://community.buypass.com/t/35y3jpb/problem-validating-certain-subdomains

      mkon Do you have any other suggestions for troubleshooting? As if all I change is the directory server in certbot to LetsEncrypt, the certificates are validated instantly.

    • Well, I just set up to do a packet capture on all 3 DNS servers - ran the cert generation stuff once, saw nothing on any of the nameservers.

      Checked my command line on the packet dump, ran it again and the certs were issued successfully and I saw 2 x NS servers get the verification query.

      Not exactly sure what was going on, but I now have a valid cert...

    • Steven Haigh Great that it works. Tried checking responses from your domain yesterday, but it all seemed ok. Today i actually see that one nameserver does not reply. Weird case

    •   mkon Annoyingly, while it worked for that domain, I'm trying another - and hitting the same problem - even though its using the same nameservers, certbot instance etc etc :(

      I'm wondering if I'm hitting a rate limit - being as I've renewed quite a few certs on my domain in the past few days?

      I'm doing a packet dump on all 3 primary DNS servers, and none are getting the request for the _acme-challenge TXT record.

    • Steven Haigh Can`t see any issues on rate limits, if you use the same account. But it seems to be some timeout issues somewhere. If you hit a rate limit issue, the response back to your client should state that.

    • mkon Thanks for checking... The one successful validation I got via DNS, the probe came from 172.253.x.x - and it hit ns1.crc.id.au.

      When these domains fail, I see nothing hitting ns1, ns2 or ns3.

      I don't know if you have access or not, but is it possible to attempt to resolve stuff from these resolvers?

      Interestingly, I just tried repeating the same command as before, and now the second one I hit this issue with is now working...

      I'm not exactly sure what is going on, but it seems to be at the actual DNS TXT record resolution phase.

  • Hi Steven Haigh, are you still experiencing problems with the renewal of your certificates? We have made some minor updates to our service the last couple of days.
    Could you please retry?

    • Buypass Customer Support I did manage to get the certs eventually.

      A couple of the services are not mission critical - so I can try a force renew of those certs if that would be helpful?

    • Hi Steven Haigh , there is no need for you to force renew the certificates. Thanks for your contribution in Buypass Community.
