Debian 10, OpenLDAP, LetsEncrypt, Error 80 trying to add

Solution 1:

I wiped the machine and retried my steps with a new specific auth.example.com SSL cert instead of a wildcard *.example.com cert and it was accepted for all three required configurations of chain, key, and cert. I would like to share with what steps went wrong before posting the above question-- but, I don't have anything that would satisfy myself to give you.

The only thing I am aware of that I did different was using a cert for the FQDN (auth.example.com) instead of a wildcard cert (*.example.com).

THAT MAY NOT BE THE ISSUE! IT COULD COMPLETELY BE SOMETHING ELSE!
