Auto SSL Let's Encrypt

As I understand it, there are two methods that Let's Encrypt and WHM uses to verify a domain

1) HTTP-based DCV (Default)

• How it works:

  • WHM creates a temporary file in the website folder
    http://yourdomain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/

  • Let's Encrypt tries to access that file via HTTP (http://yourdomain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/...).

  • If it can access the file, the domain is verified.

• Issues with Cloudflare:

  • If Cloudflare’s proxy (orange cloud ☁️) is enabled, it can block or interfere with HTTP validation.

  • Can be solved by setting up a Page Rule in Cloudflare to allow /.well-known/acme-challenge/*.

2) DNS-based DCV (ACME DNS Challenge)

• How it works:

  • WHM creates a temporary TXT record in the WHM DNS zone (_acme-challenge.yourdomain.com). with a token.

  • Let’s Encrypt checks if the TXT record exists and matches the expected value.

  • If successful, the domain is verified.

• Issues with Cloudflare:

  • If Cloudflare manages your DNS, you must manually update the TXT record each time the token changes.

  • Or disable Cloudflare temporarily to allow Auto SSL to run without impediment.

Since I use Cloudflare, I would prefer to be able to force the use of option 1) HTTP-based DCV method.  

Is there a way to be able to specify this in the WHM Let's Encrypt settings?  If so how, if not, why not!

I was not able to see anything in the DCV Methods Auto SSL options page.
