Show more detail on failed authorizations

Open jsha opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Hi,

I'm new to the ACMESharp repo, and I don't have a copy of Windows to test it on myself. However, I noticed in the screenshot on https://github.com/ebekker/ACMESharp/issues/263#issuecomment-318214233 that ACMESharp doesn't appear to print detailed error messages on authorization failures. Please consider printing them! They will help people fix any problems much more easily.

This would be a great addition!

Thanks @jsha, for mentioning this request!

First I want to thank @ebekker and others for sharing and maintaining this great library!

I use letsencrypt-win-simple which uses ACMESharp. With all my clients webs I was able to request and renew (SAN) certs wihout any issuess, except for one! Due to the (specific and) incorrect error message, I thought the problem was in that web's configuration, IPv6-support, High Availabilty-IP setup, or that it had to do with LetsEncrypts rate limits...

After posting the problem on LetsEncrypts Community forum I was pointed out that the problem (probably) has to do with a missing CAA record in the domains DNS configuration...

Correct feedback from the ACME server would have helped me find the source of the problem much quicker and without needing to ask for help. (The problem took me tens of unbillable hours....)

Thanks in advance and keep the good work up! Cheers
