How to install go-daddy ssl certificate on amazon load balancer

I was struggling around to install SSL Certificate on ELB. And finally i’ve made that. Following are the steps you need to follow.

Requirements & Prerequisites:

  1. Linux having openssl and apache installed.
  2. Open shell terminal on your Linux Box.
openssl genrsa -des3 -out private.key 1024
openssl req -new -key private.key -out www.your-web-site.com.csr

You will be prompt to provide some basic information. Make sure you have added “Common Name”; a fully qualified domain name. like “www.xyz.com”

  1. Open to GoDaddy and go to ssl management control panel
  2. Select your Certificate. And click on Re-Key button.
  3. Copy content of “www.your-web-site.com.csr” and paste the content in “CSR” field. And press Re-Key.
  4. It will prompt you to download the keys. Available options to download are Apache, Nginx and Other. By the way, i used “Other” to download my keys to be used on ELB.
  5. Now unzip the downloaded file. It should have two *.crt files.

Now back to your terminal.

openssl rsa -in private.key -out private.pem

Now you will have following files in your current location.

  1. private.key
  2. private.pem
  3. ”www.web-site.com.csr”
  4. sf_bundle.crt
  5. your-domain.com.crt

Now open your load balancer console and add https support. it will prompt you to add following values.

  1. Certificate Name:* -> Put any friendly name
  2. Private Key:* -> Paste content of private.pem
  3. Public Key Certificate:* -> Paste content of your-domain.com.crt.
  4. Certificate Chain: -> Paste content of sf_bundle.crt

Once done, Save all these values and here you go.
