You have a valid SSL certificate. However, because it is a self signed certificate (created by yourself and not by Certificate Authority) browsers don't trust it.
You have two free options:
- Create an Elastic Load Balancer and add a Certificate created by AWS Certificate Manager (please refer to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/acm-services.html)
- Use a free certificate from a CA like Let's Encrypt. It is very straightforward to set up. (please refer to https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/)
Hope that helps.

Let's Encrypt led me to the right answer thanks.
Since LightSail uses Bitnami, here is what I needed to use: https://docs.bitnami.com/general/how-to/generate-install-lets-encrypt-ssl/
From the Console, just type: sudo /opt/bitnami/bncert-tool And then follow the prompts.
Thanks!

I also followed instructions to add SSL using s self signed certificate. Then I used ACM to create a trusted Certificate and created an Elastic Load Balancer. Unfortunately, the self-signed certificate is still on the EC2 server and the browser is seeing it. How do I REMOVE the self signed certificate created in the instructions here: https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/ec2-linux-ubuntu-install-ssl-cert? Thanks for your help.
