Hi,
I made attempt to install the certificate by copying and pasting the code in the admin panel.
However, this is the response from the system says this:
“There is a problem with the certificate file: Unsupported PEM object type: CERTIFICATE REQUEST”
Can someone help with this ?
Your post gives no clue of what you were doing or why … normally the certificates are generated during the installation of MiaB, or in some unique circumstances from the admin panel after installation. No copying and pasting involved. So if you were doing this, you were doing something non standard and more information would be needed before anyone could even begin to help you.
@alento, you gotta chill.
The admin panel’s SSL certificates page has a form to paste a certificate to install one without using Let’s Encrypt. (This feature predates Let’s Encrypt.)
@anikasingh201611 It sounds like you pasted a .csr file and not a certificate issued by a certificate provider.
True! Can you please let me know how to get the free TLS certificate ?
There is a button in the Admin panel called “Provision”. I clicked on it and this is what I received as a response:
"Log:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log Plugins selected: Authenticator webroot, Installer None You should register before running non-interactively, or provide --agree-tos and --email <email_address> flags. "
I am total beginner in this. Can you please explain who the certificate provider is and what does this certificate do ? Then, how do I install it ?
Can you please help me setup the account registration for people with their own domain name ?
In other words, I want to be able to host email mailboxes for people who have their own domain name.
Look here:
Thanks @alento
I just completed the setup and was running in to the same issue, but that fixed it.
To clarify, for those that are as unfamiliar with this as I was:
-if not already logged in, log in to your mail server by typing ‘ssh root@(your server ip address)’ in your terminal
-run the command ‘sudo mailinabox’
-let it run its setup process
-when prompted (see below), type ‘A’ and hit enter
Didn’t work. I got this response from server:

Your nameservers are pointed to digitalocean. Were you planning to run external dns?
Digital Ocean is not responding to DNS requests for your domain.
More detailed information is in my response to your PM.
