Hello, Is anyone using letsencrypt for their CA for creating, managing, renewing certificates? If so, how do you like them? How do you find browser and mobile support? Have you had any issues or are there things I need to know that are not in the official docs for setup, configuration, and daily usage? Thanks. Dave.
rit I use them for some non-critical services I use web servers for. The big problem is they expire every 3 months orso. If your environment supports there automagic certbot program, you are usually ok, cause it will take care of the renewel and install. I have some non-standard situations where the automation does not work. I could rewrite it, but a certificate from a regular provider is only $9.95 per year, however, and it is sometimes just easier to purchase it instead. This price is a geotrust cert which is domain-verified and that is what let's encrypt does as well. Also, let's encrypt seems to be supported by modern browsers and it is in the Mozilla cert provider list so anything that uses that will support them. Hope this info helps. kp On Sun, 15 Jan 2017, David Mehler wrote:

Hi, I switched to LetsEncrypt in the summer and everything works floorlessly. On this list server I run lists for multiple domains and need a multi SAN certificate. That would cost a lot and I quite offen take on new customers etc, so need to add/remove names frequently. LetsEncrypt supports all this and now I don't even need to mess about with CSRs etc, just run a couple of commands and job done. Andrew. ________________________________________ From: Blind-sysadmins [blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] on behalf of Kelly Prescott [kprescott@coolip.net] Sent: 16 January 2017 01:47 To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] letsencrypt certificates rit I use them for some non-critical services I use web servers for.

I am involved with a couple of projects that use it, actually. Big NPO stuff, not little personal web sites; so far, everything works wonderfully, whether Windows or Linux; for IIS users, use the ACMESharp PowerShell module available through Chocolatey with a single command; I plan to use them on my personal web site as well as anything else I run now or in the future.
