Domain Auto SSL Installer

This tool will install the Let's Encrypt free auto ssl certificate for a website or all websites of an eenos account. 

If the domain has a commercial certificate,  priority will be given to that certificate and skip the free ssl certificate.

Users can manage all types of ssl certificates from the UAPP control panel.

See the command and options below,

Eenos now issues wildcard SSL certificates by default using the built-in Eenos Certbot DNS plugin, with automatic fallback to HTTP-01 validation when DNS validation isn't available. Install unlimited wildcard SSL certificates for all your domains at no additional cost.

Command:

/usr/local/eenos/scripts/installautosslfordomain

Command Options:

usage: installautosslfordomain [-h] (-d DOMAIN | -u USER | -del DOMAIN) [-s HOST1,HOST2 | -ns] [-sw]

Set up Domain Auto SSL

To install an auto ssl certificate on a website, use the following command,

/usr/local/eenos/scripts/installautosslfordomain -d <domain name>

Set up Auto SSL for all domains of a User

To install the Let's Encrypt auto ssl certificate for all websites under an eenos user, please use the following command.

/usr/local/eenos/scripts/installautosslfordomain -u <eenos user >

 Install SSL certificate with custom SANS

You can install ssl certificate of a domain with your custom SANS  as follows,

/usr/local/eenos/scripts/installautosslfordomain -d DOMAIN_NAME  -s sub.DOMAIN_NAME,foo.DOMAIN_NAME

Where DOMAIN_NAME is a domain website name

Install SSL certificate for a domain without any SANS

You can install an SSL certificate for any domain without any SANS. This option is also used to install an SSL certificate for a mail domain of mail-only accounts.

If the domain is pointing to another server and the mail subdomain (mail.example.com) is on your server, use this option to install the SSL certificate.

Example :

/scripts/installautosslfordomain  -d mail.example.com --nosans

Installing an SSL Certificate for Domains Using External DNS

By default, Eenos provisions wildcard SSL certificates using its built-in Certbot DNS plugin. This method requires DNS validation by creating temporary ACME TXT records.

If your domain's DNS is hosted on an external DNS provider (such as Cloudflare, Route 53, DNS Made Easy, or your domain registrar), Eenos cannot automatically create the required ACME TXT records. In this case, it automatically falls back to HTTP-01 (webroot) validation.

For HTTP validation to succeed, the required hostnames must resolve to your server.

Default HTTP Validation

For a domain such as example.com hosted on 192.168.1.10, ensure the following DNS records point to your server:

  • example.com → 192.168.1.10
  • www.example.com → 192.168.1.10
  • mail.example.com → 192.168.1.10

Once these records are configured, install the SSL certificate using:

/scripts/installautosslfordomain -d example.com
Installing Without Subject Alternative Names (SANs)

If the www and mail subdomains do not point to your server, install the certificate for the root domain only by using the --nosans option:

/scripts/installautosslfordomain -d example.com --nosans

This installs an SSL certificate for:

  • example.com
Installing with Specific SANs

If only certain subdomains resolve to your server, specify them explicitly using the --sans option.

For example, if only www.example.com points to your server:

/scripts/installautosslfordomain -d example.com --sans www.example.com

This installs an SSL certificate for:

  • example.com
  • www.example.com

You can specify multiple Subject Alternative Names by separating them with commas:

/scripts/installautosslfordomain -d example.com --sans www.example.com,blog.example.com,shop.example.com

This flexible approach allows Eenos to automatically use DNS validation whenever possible and seamlessly fall back to HTTP validation for domains managed by external DNS providers, ensuring SSL certificates can be issued in a wide range of hosting environments.

 

Scenario Command
Domain, www, and mail point to the server /scripts/installautosslfordomain -d example.com
Only the root domain points to the server /scripts/installautosslfordomain -d example.com --nosans
Only selected subdomains point to the server /scripts/installautosslfordomain -d example.com --sans www.example.com
