I am trying to implement SSL certificate on my EC2 instance which is running a laravel project. I have issued the certificate and it is also in use but when I try https://domainName my browser shows
Unable to connect
I have used:
EC2
Route53
Certificate Manager
Load Balancer
Elastic Beanstalk
This is exactly how I configured my Load Balancer, Then added my DNS Name to Route53.
I didn't know what details should I provide so please do ask for the information.
Check the web service if it is working correctly locally in you ec2 and listen on port 8o, then apply ssl offloading with application load balancer: please check the following example: https://infra.engineer/aws/36-aws-ssl-offloading-with-an-application-load-balancer

I think I misunderstand the concept of adding ssl protection to my aws ec2 instance with a load balancer!
I have an Ionic app web, ios and android. I want to switch all http requests to https.
What I did:
Purchasing a url with route53
getting certificate with acm
setting up a load balancer like this...
https:443 -> ec2 instance (Here a applied the certificate)
http:80 -> https:443
http:8080 -> https:443
In Hosted Zones I added an A type record that points from my url to the Load balancer.
In my Ionic code I changed the endpoint addresses to https://my-backend-api-url.com/ (Yes I changed the my-backend-url.com in the real url :)
in the web deployment this set up lets me call the backend. But in the ios and android deployments it doesnt work and returns a 0 unknown error.
In the load balancer i can see that the requests from mobile deployments produce client tls negotiation errors.
My Attempt to fix this:
If I understand it right ( and there is a big if) I need a ssl/tls certificate that is in my app build in a certificate folder and i need the same certificate on my load balancer. Since aws ACm certificates only work for other aws services I think I can not use the certificate I created and applied via ACM.
So I think I need an ssl certificate from an ca and tried to get one with:
sudo certbot certonly --apache
When i enter my url it says:
"Unable to find a virtual host listening on port 80 which is currently needed for Certbot to prove to the CA that you control your domain. Please add a virtual host for port 80"
Maybe also helpful to know is that I can access my backend api with the browser but it shows me that its unsecure and certificate is not valid:
Am I on the right track with my approach or did I completely misunderstand something? If my approch is correct what do I have to do that certbot can access port 80.
Any hint, link to a good tutorial, or help in any way is highly appreciated.
I think there is no need to get an ssl certificate from an external provider. You are accessing without ssl your load balancer. Your load balancer is doing the decryption for you. So, just check that your load balancer is in a security group with an open 443-port.
I am trying to add HTTPS connection to the server API I have in elastic beanstalk, using CloudFlare as DNS. Steps I have followed:
Go to AWS certificate manager and create a certificate for *.nameofmydomain.com
Verified the certificate
Created a listener in elastic beanstalk loader section, port 443 and the previously created certificate
Created a CNAME record in cloudflare that points api.nameofmydomain.com to the elastic beanstalk (xxxxx.yyyyy.eu-west-1.elasticbeanstalk.com)
When I open the https://xxxxx.yyyyy.eu-west-1.elasticbeanstalk.com I get the following error
And when I open the api.nameofmydomain.com I get this
I found the issue, turns out that wildcard ACM certificates in AWS only work for one level, and I was trying to create a domain in that was xxx.yyy.nameofmydomain.com changing it to just one level made it work
I built a web app on top of aws elastic beanstalk cli. I'm trying to add a SSL certificate to the site to make it more secure. The documentation says "The simplest way to use HTTPS with an Elastic Beanstalk environment is to assign a server certificate to your environment's load balancer". However, I don't see my app on the Elastic Beanstalk console although is is up and available to the public. Does anyone know how to use HTTPS with an Elastic Beanstalk environment and/or to assign a server certificate to my environment's load balancer (not sure how to access my env load balancer either).
Did you choose the right region when you logged into the console? That would be the only reason you don't see the app. Once you choose the right region, you should see your application. You can add a cert by going to the Elastic Beanstalk console ==> configurations ==> Load balancer and Add Listener, choose 443, https and the cert. Just make sure to add port 443 and open traffic on that port in the load balancer's security group. This blog post explains the process in ABC simple, step-by-step manner:

Greeting
I have created the Certificate through Certificate Manager in AWS, the free one. And successfully verified as well as put it in the Elastic Load Balancer (ELB). The status of the certificate shows it's issued and Is Used? shows Yes in the Certificate Manager.
Overall, I have completed these two steps without any problem, but the SSL does not work with my domain name. When I type "mydomain.com" with or without prefix http://, it works, but when I type "mydomain.com" with https:// prefix, it does not work
I have researched to find the solution and a way to install SSL into Microsoft Windows IIS on AWS, but no document describes about that.
Can anyone share this experience? I really appreciate
Looking forward for the reply and thanks
You do not need to setup SSL on your web server when you use a load balancer. Assign the SSL certificate to the load balancer (as you did). Then in your HTTPS listener in the load balancer listen on HTTPS, but connect to your web server over HTTP.
In the Amazon Console for your load balancer under the "Listeners" tab, the "Load Balancer Protocol" will be HTTPS and the "Instance Protocol" will be HTTP.
This has the benefit of offloading SSL to the load balancer which decreases CPU load on your web server.
If you do want to setup SSL on your web server, then you cannot use the Amazon SSL certificate. You will need to use the standard methods and purchase a certificate from someone else.
I'm migrating parse server to AWS following the migration guide. All seem to work except I can't figure out how to turn on SSL for the AWS elastic beanstalk environment running parse server.
I've used the AWS certification manager to create a ssl certification and add that to the load balancer for the elastic beanstalk using this guide. But in the case of parse server, I don't have a external url/domain. The mobile app would use the ***.elasticbeanstalk.com domain directly.
I tried to select the existing ***.elasticbeanstalk.com SSL certificate ID for the load balancer but it doesn't seem to work. I got error saying Updating load balancer named: awseb-e-t-AWSEBLoa-18JCU6CAOVHW5 failed Reason: Server Certificate not found for the key: arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:741843978711:certificate/dff6a710-2111-4ab7-99eb-8aaaf0bc7510
Any idea how I can enable SSL using the ***.elasticbeanstalk.com domain name?
