If we enable basic auth on a SSL secured website (LE) the renew won't work as the .well-known/acme-challenge path is not public available.

As it's only needed for the cert request I'd suggest to not include this path to the basic auth by default.

@Dominic A while ago we already introduced a fix for this, it might be that your domain does not have this configuration just yet.

This is the contents of the file:

# This location allows the SSL requests and renewals by Certbot & Let's Encrypt to go through.
# If you're not comfortable with this setting, you may remove this file and restart NGINX.
location /.well-known/ {
	auth_basic off;
}

And it's placed inside: /etc/nginx/ploi/yourdomain.com/server/disable-basic-auth-well-known.conf.

Check if you have this file for that domain. (Replace yourdomain.com with your domain)

@Dennis Thank's for the fast response! The file already exists for the domain.

Just noticed that it also failed for our other site managed by ploi. The file does not seems to be created. Is there any known issue?

In the docs I saw a notice about IP v6. We do have some AAAA records set for the main and one other subdomain, but not for those two specific subdomains. Could this be related to the problem nevertheless?

Note: the AAAA records already existed on initial SSL request (that worked fine)
