Hi, appreciate some help from the wise here,
I run sme10 uptodate with latest updates.
On Friday 17th, my cacert.org certificates expired, and users can no longer access their emails.
I went to cacert.org to renew the certs, however it seems they have major problems and the functionality is not there to renew or create new certs.
So I started looking for alternatives, I decided to install phpki-ng latest .
Install no problem at all,
I created a new cert, hoping that would solve everything,
However I suspect there are more steps, than just generating a certificate.
My research found this.. https://forums.koozali.org/index.php/topic,51297.msg260373.html#msg260373
With it being a little dated, the concept I assumed to be correct,
So I downloaded the key.pem and crt.pem files using the phpki contib.
Then copied the text of these files into the certificate manager contrib panel and saved.
Noting this appeared to creat the appropriate crt and key files in /home/e-smith/ssl.crt and ssl.key directories.
Continued with the ‘ db configuration setprop modSSL’ command as detailed in the referenced forum post.
All ran no error, the httpd -t returned no error,
So proceeded with the service restarts,
2 of them did not work ‘not found’ error, assuming due to the date of the forum entry things have changed a lot, so ran ‘signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot’
My server did not come back, on checking found it sitting there wanting a password entered,
Never had this happen before, I assumed dues to the password set on the phpki certificate I created, it wanted that password, but after entering that multiple times, tried the root password, and the boot continued to logon prompt, and sever became pingable.
But now I cannot access the server-manager page or the /phpki/ca pages
I can login to ssh fortunately!
I am assuming if I run ‘signal-event certificate-revert’ I will regain web access,
However I simply am not moving forward here..
From previously looking, at /webmail it seems the server is no longer receiving emails either!
I am hoping for some guidance on how I cleanup my mess and get email functioning again.
This server is really only used for email, and some ibay file storage over samba, but the email is the important bit.
Looking forward to your advise
Thank you
Glen

There is a method to reset your servers self-signed certificate as well but I can't renember how.
Have a search here or on the wiki. Someone else may post it. That will get you restarted.
Then why not use letsencrypt/dehydrated, at least in the short term?
smeserver-letsencrypt
https://wiki.koozali.org/Letsencrypt
-
as told by John go for lets encrypt, and i bet you will never go back !
Only exception would be if you have some insurances needs behind your cert.
phpki whil it could be used for that is not the best choice as it would not be better than simply use the self signed certificate of SME. To use it you should just delete the modSSL property pointing to your old cert.
-
Thank you for your suggestions.
I had avoided letsencrypt, as I run it on my Home Assistant, and assumed I would end up with port forwarding issues pointing to the wrong system.
But, with your suggestions, I figured push forward with it and work out the issues as I go.
It is installed,
but when I run the tests dehydrated -cI get...
"type": "urn:ietf:params:acme:error:malformed",
"detail": "Error creating new order :: Order cannot contain more than 100 DNS names",
"status": 400
and before that it lists all of my DNS entries for every device in my house.
I set config setprop letsencrypt configure domainsbut it still 'Processes' every DNS entry.
Any suggestions on why / how I stop it doing that?
I used to use this SME server as my DNS for the house,
however since splitting the Network into different VLANs, I now have the UniFi Router do that.
Should I delete all the Entries in SME from the legacy DNS days?
-
Hi Glen
first of all, another HA user here :-)
IMVHO you don't need a letsencrypt cert for each device
-
Hi Stefano,
Thank you for your comment, and great to see another SME and HA user :-)
When you say I don’t need a cert for each device, are you suggesting I copy the one from HA to SME?
Only concern I have with that is I use different domains.. duckdns for HA and a dyndns $$ domain for SME / email.

Hi Stefano,

you'd tell us more about your setup; I mean, I guess you don't have all your devices exposed to wan :-)
in any case, I'd use SME as DNS, both for local/internal access (something like *.home.lan) and for external.
Alternatively (but keep in mind I'm not so experienced with PKI) you's use PKI for "local" devices' certificate and letsencrypt for public.
Hope you get what I mean
-
No, I don’t have all devices exposed to WAN
I have a VLAN for IOT devices and another VLAN for general user / internet access
All running on a Unifi network,
Due to the separate VLANs I found I couldn’t use the SME for dns any more and turned off that functionality and rely on the Unifi network router to be dns for both VLANs.
Earlier I posted I was failing with ‘dehydrated -c’ due to too many dns entries,
I went ahead and deleted them all (other than ‘self’ entries) on SME..
Now dehydrated -c gets further..
But I am now getting the dreaded ‘ Invalid response / 403’ issue
Yet ‘letsdebug’ shows all is OK..
I am not winning ;-/

ok, let's start posting some info about your config and some logs ;-)
-
You have probably configured Letsencrypt to use EVERY domain and EVERY host.
You need to specify JUST the hosts and domain/s that you require.
https://wiki.koozali.org/Letsencrypt#Step_by_step_configuration
You can obtain a certificate for either of the following: all domains, all hostnames, or all domains AND hostnames.
Only set one of the following.
config setprop letsencrypt configure domains
config setprop letsencrypt configure hosts
config setprop letsencrypt configure all
To use individually enabled hosts or domains leave the default none.
config setprop letsencrypt configure none
So set:
config setprop letsencrypt configure none
and then
Per host:
db hosts setprop $HOSTNAME letsencryptSSLcert enabled
Per domain
db domains setprop $DOMAIN letsencryptSSLcert enabled
Make sure you run test mode first!!
https://wiki.koozali.org/Letsencrypt#Enable_test_mode
When you are happy then:
https://wiki.koozali.org/Letsencrypt#Enable_Production_Mode
-
ok, let's start posting some info about your config and some logs ;-)
Thank you all for your patience and assistance, I just cannot get my head around how this works, (should work).
I have been following the step by step process and definitely been in test mode.
Following ReetP instructions….
I previosly was attempting to create the cert with my $DOMAIN,
But after reading https://forums.koozali.org/index.php/topic,52028.msg266631.html#msg266631
I decided to just go with ‘www.xxxxx.homeip.net’
(I will have to reconfigure email clients pointing to mail.xxxxx.homeip.net, but if it is going to work….)
So I changed the db domains to be disabled… I hope that would be the correct thing todo?

Note I redacted the IP address and domain name, but the IP is correctly resoving to my public address.
So it is still picking up the ‘self’ entries in SME hostnames.. should I delete those entries also?

Bit hard to tell when stuff is obfuscated but this gives a clue:

Are you on a sub domain or something odd?
Creating new directory /etc/dehydrated/certs/ftp.xxxxx.homeip.net ...
I'd expect it to say this:
xxxxx.homeip.net
Not:
ftp.xxxxx.homeip.net
I'd start with:
configure none
Now individually configure JUST the following. Make sure all other domains & hosts are disabled.
Domain
xxxxx.homeip.netetsencrypt letsencryptSSLcert enabled
Host
www.xxxxx.homeip.net letsencryptSSLcert enabled
console-save then check
cat/etc/dehydrated/domains.txt
It should ONLY have the one domain and one host as above.
Make sure you can access the directory with a browser:
http://xxxxx.homeip.net/.well-known/acme-challenge
And
http://www.xxxxx.homeip.net/.well-known/acme-challenge
Now run test mode.
Beyond that we need to see some actual detail:
db domains show
db hosts show

Sorry about that, I assumed best for privacy.. but I will paste complete outputs now.
Are you on a sub domain or something odd?
No, not that I am aware of, my SME is directly cabled to the Router to the Internet, and is using dyndns plugin to refresh the DNS entry
for the domain 'routley.homeip.net'

Looking a bit better? only the www host?
Proceed with the setup per your advice.....
[root@l1nuxsvr ~]# db domains setprop routley.homeip.net letsencryptSSLcert enabled
[root@l1nuxsvr ~]# db hosts setprop www.routley.homeip.net letsencryptSSLcert enabled
[root@l1nuxsvr ~]# signal-event console-save
[root@l1nuxsvr ~]# cat /etc/dehydrated/domains.txt
routley.homeip.net www.routley.homeip.net
Looks good, as you suggest, it only has one host and one domain :-)
However:
http://routley.homeip.net/.well-known/acme-challenge
gives:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /.well-known/acme-challenge on this server.
http://www.routley.homeip.net/.well-known/acme-challenge
also gives the same 'Forbidden'
Also on the local network, http://192.168.37.251/.well-known/acme-challenge
Gives the same Forbidden, so it is the server, not the network access to it.
So no point in proceeding to Test…
So why is it not serving this url?
Both Port 80 and 443 are port forwarded on my router to the respective ports on destination IP '192.168.37.1' which is the SME Server IP address. (these ports are normally portforwarded to my Home Assistant Server, but not for the time being while I try to get this working).
/var/log/httpd/access_log shows:

Aditional note. Not sure if it makes a difference, SME is in ‘Server only’ mode
-
Ok, more useful then thanks.
Server only - most of mine are so no issues there if you have forwarding set up correctly.
I'm out at the minute & back later. Will take a look then but the issue is accessing that URL which is what letsencrypt needs to do.
Make sure you've done signal-event webapps-update or post-upgrade/reboot so your httpd conf is expanded correctly.

Ok.. so yes, I have my ibays on a separate RAID array to the system /boot SSD.
And history of the server is I replaced the boot drive with an SSD and clean installed SME10 on it and then added the RAID array and pointed the ibays to that, as I was unable to ‘upgrade’ from the previous SME8.
Is there something I need to do to fix the symlink permission?

Ah OK. Probably.
I have similar setups on most of my servers now but with no issues ;-)

OK - thanks and well done.
Well amongst other questionable bits in there (templates?) I think the symlinks are the issue.
Here's my fstab. The old ibays are on vdb3 and it is not a RAID array as this is a Proxmox VM. But the same principle applies.
Need to lose your symlinks and then mount the old dirs into the file structure.
/# My root LVM
/dev/mapper/main-root / xfs uquota,gquota 0 0
UUID=b143846e-27a4-4b7a-b07c-05c8cd55fa10 /boot xfs defaults 0 0
#My swap

#BLKID for the partition

# Mount the dirs to the right place.

You might need something a bit different at the BLKID part. JP will probably fill in some more.

symlink are the issue.
the lig says it.
if you want to point your ibay to another drive you need to use mount and fstab.
symlink are ddactivated cor security reason in most web orientes services. eg httpd and proftpd. you can enable them in specific situations knowing the risk, but what you do has two secure alternatives
- mount disk to /home/e-smith/files/ibays
- mount diak elsewhare then mount bind every folder needed to an ibay path
-
Thank you to you both!
I have progressed !
I made a mess of the stab a few times and SME would only boot to recovery mode,
but looks like I got it right finally, however now I have to move a lot of the bay data as it has ended up nested
i.e. /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ibays/xxx
So I have fixed the Primary bay, and....

Looking good !
in Production mode, and reconfiguring email clients to remove the 'smtp and mail.' addresses and replace with 'www.'
once done email starts flowing :-D
I still have a lot of file moving to sort out the ibays, but that I can manage.
I do need to work out how I will manage 2 different servers using lets encrypt, and how I port forward to both, but that is another challenge.
Thank you so much for your patience and assistance.

Cool.
So setup/add your smtp/imap hosts correctly and get certificates for them as well.
Same drill. Add them, console-save then dehydrated -c -x to force renewal.
I do need to work out how I will manage 2 different servers using lets encrypt, and how I port forward to both, but that is another challenge.
That is trickier. Letsencrypt will only contact 80 or 443 and you can only run one server on each port. (There are some fancier methods but we do not manage them)
So you might have to get all the certificates for hosts/domains that you require on your SME and then use a hook script to copy the certificates to the other server.
There are basic templates there which you can add too.
Look in /etc/e-smith/templates/usr/bin/hook-script.sh
Add your own in:
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/usr/bin/hook-script.sh
Here's one of my templates - I have media.mydomain.com running on 8440 and ubiquiti.mydomain.com on 8441
{
# Probably not required but I was faffing and testing
use strict;
use warnings;
use esmith::ConfigDB;
my $configDB = esmith::ConfigDB->open_ro or die("can't open Config DB");
my $letsencryptStatus = $configDB->get_prop( 'letsencrypt', 'status' ) || 'disabled';

Thanks for that info..
I’ll dable with the hook-script later..
For now I tried adding the additional hosts mail and smtp ,
It took mail, but for some reason will not add smtp?
root@l1nuxsvr ~]# cat /etc/dehydrated/domains.txt
routley.homeip.net mail.routley.homeip.net www.routley.homeip.net
[root@l1nuxsvr ~]# db hosts setprop smtp.routley.homeip.net letsencryptSSLcert enabled
[root@l1nuxsvr ~]# signal-event console-save
[root@l1nuxsvr ~]# cat /etc/dehydrated/domains.txt
routley.homeip.net mail.routley.homeip.net www.routley.homeip.net
[root@l1nuxsvr ~]#
Of course when I ran dehydrated -c -x it generated the new cert only adding mail. To it..
-
First, smtp. Check your spelling of the letsencryptssl key (and your message log)
Second, there is a reason for test mode.... Don't get rate limited.

Good point! Thank you, I’ll check the logs

Wow.. I struggled all day to understand why it would not add enable ‘letsencryptSSLcert’ for host ‘smtp’.
I couldnt see anything in the logs that came close to suggesting an issue when the console-save ran.
There was no typo.. couldnt be.. I had recalled the previous command that successfully did this for ‘mail’ and all I had changed was ‘mail’ to ‘smtp’..
This evening I had a mic drop moment!
I looked at ‘db hosts show’ and it did not have a ‘smtp’ host..
So a few days ago, I went and deleted all the hostnames, including the ‘smtp’ hostname..
Now I overlooked this, because SME recreated most of the ‘self’ alias hostnames itself.
But apparently ‘smtp’ is not one of them, and must be one I created many many years ago, on probably SME3 or 4!
Would you believe, when I added the hostname, the db setprop hosts command then successfully added the ‘letsencryptSSLcert’ propert.. and after the console save the ‘/etc/dehydrated/domains.txt’
Showed the ‘smtp’ host and the dehydrated -c successfully updated the cert with that host !
Yay!
Thank you for all your help and expertise, your help has been invaluable in getting this sorted for me.
Thank you, thank you thank you.. merci.. I just cannot say it enough.

Fab and glad you got it sorted. :hammer:
Well done for being patient and supplying the requested info.
One thing to consider - not just for you but anyone else following this - is that when you have issues, document things as best you can right at the start. (trying to educate here, not criticise!!)
If you read back here you can see the sort of info we requested and it is probably all quite obvious now! If some of it had been provided right at the start it would have probably shortened the debug process.
I did write this some while ago and worth a read to understand the methods. The 'Documenting things' is the real key (and not running off making random changes in the hope of fixing things without telling us what you are doing!).
https://forums.koozali.org/index.php/topic,54724.0.html
The more you document things at the start, the easier and quicker it is to fix!!
Anyways, once again I am pleased we got it working, and well done. :pint:
