I have a static webpage on AWS S3 with Cloudfront. Cloudfront is setup with ACM (AWS Certificate Manager) and am using Route 53 with it. How can I have both the www.my-endpoint.com and my-endpoint.com endpoints secure with https?

Here are some details:

  • My ACM certificate is setup for just my-endpoint.com and is attached to the Cloudfront distribution
  • I have a Cloudfront A Records for my-endpoint.com whose alias points to Cloudfront
  • My www.my-endpoint.com is configured so its alias is my-endpoint.com

When I navigate to https://www.my-endpoint.com chrome complains of a potential security risk whereas the https://my-endpoint.com is fine.

Create a new ACM request for your-domain.com and www.your-domain.com (and better yet, *.your-domain.com).

Use the newly created certificate (after verification) on your CloudFront instance.

The redirection from https://www.domain.com to https://domain.com will work after you have a valid certificate for both domains.
