Point to CNAME to openshift throws certificate issue

Question

I have my domain CNAME point to myapp-mynamespace.rhcloud.com however it throws this certificate error:

Doing rhc alias add proxy proxy.mynamespace.com would do the trick.

However, I just want to point arbitrary domain CNAME (like ww2 of xyz.com, abc.com or somedomain.com) to myapp-mynamespace.rhcloud.com

How do I get around this ssl issue, is it possible that when I point ww2 CNAME of xyz.com to my openshift app (myapp-mynamespace.rhcloud.com) it will not do https or ssl thing--just plain http.

Answer 1

You don't want a CNAME record, you want a web redirection, else the domain name will remain the one that points to rhcloud.com and the certificate will still be invalid for your web clients.

Answer 2

If you want to use SSL with your custom domain on OpenShift then you will need to upgrade to the Bronze or Silver plan and purchase an SSL certificate and install it for your alias.
