Install letsencrypt on Amazon ec2

Help
1

My domain is: ec2-18-212-24-254.compute-1.amazonaws.com

I am using Amazon EC2(Amazon Linux AMI 2018.03.0 (HVM), SSD Volume Type)

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): No

I have tried various tutorials online to get letencrypt certificated but it failed.

I got the following error:

{
“type”: “urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rejectedIdentifier”,
“detail”: “Error creating new order :: Cannot issue for “ec2-18-212-24-254.compute-1.amazonaws.com”: Policy forbids issuing for name (and 1 more problems. Refer to sub-problems for more information.)”,
“status”: 400,
“subproblems”: [
{
“type”: “urn:ietf:params:acme:error:urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rejectedIdentifier”,
“detail”: “Error creating new order :: Policy forbids issuing for name”,
“status”: 400,
“identifier”: {
“type”: “dns”,
“value”: “ec2-18-212-24-254.compute-1.amazonaws.com”
}
},
{
“type”: “urn:ietf:params:acme:error:urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rejectedIdentifier”,
“detail”: “Error creating new order :: Policy forbids issuing for name”,
“status”: 400,
“identifier”: {
“type”: “dns”,
“value”: “www.ec2-18-212-24-254.compute-1.amazonaws.com”
}
}
]
}

It would be appreciated if anyone could help me generate new certificates for the same.

Hi @irshad_rf

you can't create a certificate with that domain name. amazonaws.com isn't allowed.

Use your own domain name.
