Service generated warnings while checking SSL certificates

[Bloke2]

I am getting the following error email notification "service generated warnings while checking SSL certificates."

I opened a ticket and was advised:
Because your servers hostname does not resolve to an IP, the system is unable to complete checks in order to complete the SSL installation.

In order to address this, the hostname should be updated to a FQDN.

I have changed the host name and still getting this error. I there anything else I can try?

I contacted Godaddy and they said this has been happening on other servers. They just pointed me to the documentation to change the hostname. Should I ignore it?

Also can I delete the old DNS zone after my hostname has changed?

Hello @Bloke2,

Can you share the output from the below command?

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkallsslcerts --verbose

Ensure to replace real domain names and IP addresses with examples when pasting the output here.

Thank you.

Hello @Bloke2,

Can you verify if the DNS zone associated with the server's hostname makes use of an AAAA record for IPv6? You can view the DNS zone for the server's hostname or the hostname's parent domain in WHM >> Edit DNS Zone.

Thank you.

No it just has A record. Any the previous host name did also.

Feel free to open a support ticket and we'll take a closer look to see why the following error continues to appear after you've updated the server's hostname and it resolves to the correct IP address:

None of the certificates in the system ssl storage were acceptable to use for the “dovecot” service.

You can post the ticket number here once it's opened and I'll link this thread to it.

Thank you.

Hello,

To update, it looks like the license provider imposes a restriction that prevents the use of the free signed hostname SSL certificate service.

Thank you.
