I'm trying to have https for a website which is hosted in AWS EC2. I have followed the steps mention in the following link.
But still its showing the privacy thing to all user who are visiting the website. How can make the certificate as trusted or how long it will take Amazon to make it a trusted one.
Please help me to solve this. I'm stuck with this for last 2 days. Answers will be appreciated and Thank you.
Depending on your requirements you may wish to use SSL termination on an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) instead.
This involves creating a free AWS certificate and an ELB. Attach both your instance the certificate to the ELB with HTTPS forwarded to port 80 on your instance.
Then just point your DNS name to the ELB. If you're using Route53 then you can just use an A-record alias.
Edit: If you want to automatically direct HTTP to HTTPS you'll need to check the X-Forwarded-Proto header in Apache's .htaccess file. More information here.
The certificate which you are using is a "Self Signed Certificate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-signed_certificate)".
In order to get rid of insecure certificate or privacy issues on HTTPS, you need to get your CSR signed from a trusted CA like Comodo, Godaddy etc.

OR
In case you want free verified SSL certificates, "letsencrypt" is the way to go.

You don't need to pay anyone for a certificate. Just use LetsEncrypt and their CertBot ACME client. The CertBot automates the task of issuing and renewing certificates.
LetsEncrypt is the leading free SSL certificate authority (CA) and their certs are as good as any paid cert.
