Need help creating a TLS certificate
by mfoley from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51X4N)
I've been working on this for two days with no luck. In the past I used CACERT.ORG to create a certificate I can use with Sendmail. I've tried doing that recently, but apparently CACERT.ORG is down for issuing new server certificates since that must be done manually and there is no one at their datacenter due to COVID-19.
I've just tried certbot, but not only it is a rather involved process, but I ended up with the error "Challenge failed for domain mydom.com". I have no idea what that means ... something about a webroot plugin ... ?
There are other free SSL/TLS certification sites out there. Rather than me try each one in turn, can someone recommend one that works and is relatively straightforward? I could also create a self-signed certification, but I thought I'd try something more legitimate.
