SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN for Let's Encrypt SSL certificate

saebel

I'm on Firefox, and when I go to https://thedanemovie.net, I get a "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" etc. etc.

It doesn't like the Let's Encrypt certificate at all. Is there a way to resolve this? I didn't have any issues with Let's Encrypt from the previous hosting service.

If you click on "Advanced" you can click on a link that brings up the details of the certificate.

Edit/Update:
Nevermind. It resolved itself. If anyone else has this issue, here is what happened. Even though I turned on Let'd Encrypt, it took awhile for the certificate to get generated and applied. When I tested the https:// connection initially, it was using the default *.opalstack.com wildcard certificate.

When I checked back later, it was using the correct certificate for thedanemovie.com.

So, patience is a virtue... still...

Usually what's happening here is DNS propagation.

We don't generate an A record for any domain until its either added to a site or until a manual A record is created for it.

So, if you create a site and using whatever domain for the first time, then it will take longer for your LE certificate to be generated because first your DNS records need to be updated and need to propagate.
