Hi @lucasp

Thanks for using Bitnami WordPress Multisite!

I'm creating a automatic sites and i need to create a automatic SSL certificates.

Could you please give me a little bit more context on this? Are you talking about creating new EC2 instances and configuring their SSL certificates? Or are you referring to creating different sites in the same instance?

How are you automating the processs (maybe a bash script?)? If so, you may actually call the bncert-tool from your custom automation script.

No, unfortunately, you can't trigger the bncert-tool from an external API.

I'm talking to create new sites in the same Lightsail instance in the Multisite (this is done).

The problem is the creation of SSL certificate in an automatic way.

How are you automating the processs (maybe a bash script?)? If so, you may actually call the bncert-tool from your custom automation script.

This is done using PHP.

Can i call the bncert-tool and pass the list of domains and get the responses with PHP?

No, unfortunately, you can't trigger the bncert-tool from an external API.

Maybe you can call the bncert-tool using the exec() function in PHP

I found phpseclib to do the job: muscle:.

Thanks for your time.
