  • Make sure the domain name xxxx.aspireclan.com is availabe in google comain as an A record
  • Open two command prompts with Administrator privilege and go to the lets encrypt le64.exe directory
  • Prepare the command:
    le64 --key account.key --email "[Your Email]" --csr [Your Domain].csr --csr-key [Your Domain].key --crt [Your Domain].crt --generate-missing --domains "[Your Domain]" --export-pfx [Your Password] --handle-as dns --live
  • Copy, paste and execute the above command (2 enter key strokes may be needed)
  • Go to google domain and enter the shown Host: upto .aspireclan.com. For example if the Host key is _acme-challenge.apis.aspireclan.com, copy only _acme-challenge.apis. The rest will be automatically filled by google domain
  • Create a TXT domain record with the Host name and value got from the first command prompt
  • Go to the other command prompt and do nslookup -q=TXT _acme-challenge.apis.aspireclan.com. It should give the same value we entered in the google domain as TXT value
  • If DNS server is installed and configured in the local network, it may not resolve the key from google domain
