My domain and subdomain are currently setup on GoDaddy and I have a web portal running on tomcat on an AWS EC2 Windows instance. I have configured tomcat to run on HTTPS port 443. I set the forwarding rules with masking to point my subdomain to my EC2 instance -
- domain - www.example.co.uk
- subdomain - portal.example.co.uk forwards to
https://some ip:443
I created a keystore and CSR for my tomcat installation and bought a basic SSL Certificate for portal.example.co.uk and imported it into my tomcat keystore.
When I go to portal.example.co.uk it appears to be http as opposed to https.
I guess this is a 2 fold question...
If a subdomain forwards to an HTTPS address, should that request then show as HTTPS?
When trying to secure a subdomain, can you do this by installing a certificate on the EC2 instance or do I need to do it from GoDaddy?
When I spoke to GoDaddy about it, they said in order to do what im trying to achieve, I would need to pay £200+ for a wildcard certificate.
