Plugin::LetsEncrypt: Punycode domains are not presently supported

**thoand** · Nov 3rd 2016

Hello,

I just tried to activate Let's Encrypt for my german Umlauts domain. But with debug mode enabled I see the following Error:

Code

[Thu Nov 3 19:08:04 2016] [debug] Modules::Plugin::_call: Calling run() method on Plugin::LetsEncrypt

On the project page you can see, that they added support for punycode domains: https://community.letsencrypt.…idn-support-enabled/21469

Is this support missing in the current plugin?

regards,

Should be now supported: https://letsencrypt.org/upcoming-features/

@kess, yes but it is not working with the i-MSCP Plugin, that's why I am asking.

What's your certbot version ?

I just tried to activate Let's Encrypt for my german Umlauts domain. But with debug mode enabled I see the following Error:

Latest LetsEncrypt plugin version which is available in our plugin store doesn't support IDNs and normally, you cannot enable LetsEncrypt for IDNs. But in the coming version which will be released soon, IDNs will be supported.

CHANGELOG for the coming version:

Code

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Version 1.2.0------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Added: `certbot_self_update' configuration parameter (Allows to enable/disable self-update of the certbot client) Added: `certbot_version' configuration parameter (Allows usage of development version of the certbot client) Added: UPDATE.md file (update notes for new versions) Fixed: Avoid too many SQL queries by adding `admin_id', `domain_id' and `domain_type' columns to letsencrypt table Fixed: Certbot client is never updated Fixed: Could not disable HSTS for subdomains Fixed: Don't try to revoke SSL certificates that are missing on the filesystem; Only remove the entries in database Fixed: IDNs (Internationalized Domain Names) are now supported by LetsEncrypt (Closes: #IP-1648) Fixed: The `www' prefix is now optional (Closes: #IP-1646) Renamed: `certbot_cmd' configuration parameter to `certbot_path' Renamed: `certbot_cmd_create_options' configuration parameter to `certbot_create_options' Renamed: `certbot_cmd_revoke_options' configuration parameter to `certbot_revoke_options' Updated: Certbot client to version 0.9.3 Updated: Translation files

UPDATE.md for the coming version

Code

# Update to version 1.2.0
## IDNs support (Internationalied Domain Names)
The support for IDNs has been added However, note that the version of the certbot client that adds support for the IDNs has not been published yet (at least at time when this new plugin version has been released).
If you want to enable support for IDNs, you must use the developement version of the certbot client by setting the value of the `certbot_version` parameter to `develop` in the plugin configuration file. Once done, don't forget to trigger a plugin list update through the i-MSCP plugin management interface.
Note that when the certbot client version that supports IDNs names will be released, the usage of the developement version of the certbot client will no longer be mandatory.
Be aware that using the developement version of the certbot client can lead to other issues. This is the develomement version and as such, stability of this version cannot be guaranteed by us. You're warned.
## WWW prefix for domains and subdomains
In earlier versions, the `www` prefix was always included when issuing or renewing a SSL certificates, whatever the domain type. From now, the inclusion of this prefix is optional. By default, the inclusion of the `www` prefix is pre-checked for the domains, while for the subdomains, it is unchecked.

To resume, you must wait LetsEncrypt version 1.2.0.

Hi,

I just installed LetsEncrypt version 2.0.5 and tried to get a certificate for my IDN domain. In the gui it says: Punycode domains are not presently supported: *******.ch

It should be supported since version 1.2.0 right? So how can I find out what's wrong?

Thanks

You could find out what's wrong by reading the UPDATE.md file inside the plugin archive, specially the following part:

# Update to version 1.2.0

## IDNs support (Internationalied Domain Names)

The support for IDNs has been added However, note that the version of the certbot client that adds support for the IDNs has not been published yet (at least at time when this new plugin version has been released).

If you want to enable support for IDNs, you must use the development version of the certbot client by setting the valueof the certbot_version parameter to develop in the plugin configuration file. Once done, don't forget to trigger aplugin list update through the i-MSCP plugin management interface.

Note that when the certbot client version that supports IDNs names will be released, the usage of the developmentversion of the certbot client will no longer be mandatory.

Be aware that using the development version of the certbot client can lead to other issues. This is the development version and as such, stability of this version cannot be guaranteed by us. You're warned.
