A live DNS-01 smoke test returned NOTAUTH because the solver walked _acme-challenge.unkin.net to zone unkin.net and sent the rfc2136 UPDATE there, but bind-external is only authoritative for acme.unkin.net; without cnameStrategy: Follow the solver does not chase the delegation CNAME.

  • Set cnameStrategy: Follow on the letsencrypt and letsencrypt-staging ClusterIssuer DNS-01 solvers so cert-manager follows the _acme-challenge.unkin.net -> _acme-challenge.acme.unkin.net CNAME and updates the acme.unkin.net zone.

A live smoke test showed cert-manager sending the rfc2136 UPDATE to zone
unkin.net (walked from _acme-challenge.unkin.net), which bind-external is
not authoritative for, returning NOTAUTH; the solver was not following the
delegation CNAME.

- Set cnameStrategy: Follow on the letsencrypt and letsencrypt-staging
  ClusterIssuer DNS-01 solvers so cert-manager chases the
  _acme-challenge.unkin.net -> _acme-challenge.acme.unkin.net CNAME and
  updates the acme.unkin.net zone.
