SSL certificate fails a few minutes after validation

Question

I keep repeatedly having this happen after multiple. Using Certificate manager, I delete all previous SSl certificates. Then I create new ones for mystic.com, www.mysite.com, and *.mysite.com. After the certificate is successfully issued, I open it and select "add certificate to Route 53..It show that my domains are already in Route 53. And for a few minutes my browsers show https:// for my domains. But after about 3 to 5 minutes. The browsers go back to only showing http://. What's going on? It's making me crazy...

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Accepted Answer

Hi, what do you have on your backend? Where are you associating these certs? After creating the certificates, did you update the certificate at the server to validate the incoming requests to use the newly created cert?

Answer

Certificate manager does not directly integrate with EC2 - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/acm-services.html
You will need to have a load balancer in front of it and add the certificate to the load balancer. Or use a different certificate and put it directly on EC2.

Answer

It’s hosted on EC2 instance

Don’t know to share the traffic flow

Answer

Where is your server hosted? Is it on EC2 instance? Or load balancer? Or somewhere else? Can you share the traffic flow from Route 53 to your website?

Answer

How does one do that?
