Install Wildcard Certificate onto AWS EC2 Load Balancer

Question

I\'m having trouble. I followed a guide that I found here

Answer 1

Simplest/most concise explanation that I have come across for creating a self-signed cert for AWS ELBs is...

openssl genrsa -out server_privatekey.pem 1024
openssl req -new -key server_privatekey.pem -out server_certificate_csr.pem
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in server_certificate_csr.pem -signkey server_privatekey.pem -out server_certificate.pem

And then in AWS;

Certificate Name: mycert

Private key: [content of server_privatekey.pem]

Public key: [content of server_certificate.pem]

Certificate Chain: [content of server_certificate_csr.pem]
