Deployment: Certificates

AWS Certificate Manager

We use the Certificate Manager service to generate a wildcard certificate.

Request a certificate

1. Click on the Request a certificate button.
2. Select the Request a public certificate option. Go to the next section by clicking on the Request a certificate button.
3. Add the domain name that you want a certificate to be generated (ex: *.csgames.org). Go to the next section by clicking on the Next button.
4. Select one of the two validation methods.
   1. DNS validation: You will need to add a CNAME record to your domain DNS configuration
   2. Email validation: AWS will try to send an email to some email address of your domain (ex: [email protected]). Go to the next section by clicking on the Next button.
5. You can skip this section and go to the review section clicking on the Review button.
6. You can request the certificate by clicking on the Confirm and request button.

Once your domain name is validated, it can take a few hours to AWS to generate a certificate.
