SSL renewals fail following the implementation of Cloudflare. This PR modifies the challenge method to fix this.
The default challenge method is
tls-alpn, ALPN traffic is not passed through by the proxy causing SSL renewals to fail.There are two alternatives:
/.acme-challenge/[...]) to authenticate certificates. HTTP authentication is the quickest to set up.https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_md.html#mdcachallenges
DNS authentication is preferred but it needs more set up for the same result.
I have deployed this PR to ocp19 in order to renew the standard.open-contracting.org SSL certificate as it would expire over the holiday period.
Note: After deploying, Apache needed restarting twice - once to generate new certificates and a second time to load them in.
