Really would appreciate help configuring either my load balancer, domain records, or the apache2 server to make this behave more professionally.
Overview
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/DeveloperGuide/US_UpdatingLoadBalancerSSL.html- Generate CSR
- Get a Comodo cert
- Cert must be PEM encoded
- Create Load Balancer
- Install CERT
- Modify Host Records
Generate a CSR
https://support.comodo.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1/19/csr-generation-using-openssl-apache-wmod_ssl-nginx-os-x
Two Files will be Created:
- mysite_com.csr
- mysite_com.key
Get Comodo Cert
- AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt
- COMODORSAAddTrustCA.crt
- COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt
- mysite_com.crt
Cert and Key Must be RSA PEM encoded
Failed to upload SSL certificate: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.bouncycastle.asn1.pkcs.PrivateKeyInfo cannot be cast to org.bouncycastle.openssl.PEMKeyPair
$ openssl rsa -in mysite_com.key -text > mysite_com_pem.key
Install CERT
Private Key:* Use a text editor and copy the contents of mysite_com_pem.key
Public Key Certificate:* Use a text editor and copy the contents of mysite_com.crt
Successfully created load balancer
Load balancer mysitecom-lb was successfully created.Note: It may take a few minutes for your instances to become active in the new load balancer.
www mysite-lb-1551430537.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com. Record Type: CName
Modify Host Records
@ https://www.mysite.com Record Type: URL Redirectwww mysite-lb-1551430537.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com. Record Type: CName
Problems with this approach
- https://www.mysite.com is properly certified and encrypted (not a problem)
- There is no cert for the named domain https://mysite.com, in fact DNS doesnt know how to resolve to ssl version of the naked domain at all.
- The non naked version of http://mysite.com does redirect to https://www.mysite.com, while it is good that it redirects to an encrypted version it would be better if it redirected to the SSL based naked domain of https://mysite.com
- http://www.mysite.com/ does not redirect, it should redirect to https://www.mysite.com/
