Certbot (New Let's Encrypt Client)
-
Certbot is an easy-to-use automatic client that fetches and deploys SSL/TLS certificates for your webserver. Certbot was developed by EFF and others as a client for Let’s Encrypt and was previously known as “the official Let’s Encrypt client” or “the Let’s Encrypt Python client.” Certbot will also work with any other CAs that support the ACME protocol.
While there are many other clients that implement the ACME protocol to fetch certificates, Certbot is the most extensive client and can automatically configure your webserver to start serving over HTTPS immediately. For Apache, it can also optionally automate security tasks such as tuning ciphersuites and enabling important security features such as HTTP → HTTPS redirects, OCSP stapling, HSTS, and upgrade-insecure-requests.

That's pretty cool.

The client on my personal server updated this morning. I don't appear to have a valid cert on my site yet, guess I need to figure out what's going wrong.

@travisdh1 Got it. The ssl.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d didn't get updated. Dropped the correct file links in and boom, secured site.

@aaronstuder could you please add tags for Let's Encrypt? I was looking for this link, couldn't find it as i didn't recall the name certbot!

@Ambarishrh Doesn't seem like I can add a tag
Maybe @scottalanmiller can? -
