试图找到我在 AWS Certificates 上创建的 ssl 证书

Question

I setup my ec2 instance and got https working for a bit only to realize I need tls 1.2 on default and in order to do that I had to configure my code to instruct it to read my cert file in the code. Problem is I don't know which it is as there are 269 files in the directory /etc/ssl/certs. I have googled for a couple hours hoping something would tell me where to look to check what file amazon generated for me that it specifically wants. Otherwise im shooting in the dark trying pems one at a time.

  secureProtocol: 'TLSv1_2_server_method',
  pfx: fs.readFileSync("/etc/ssl/certs/FILENAME.PEM")
}, app).listen(443);

Help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Please refer EC2 instance details in AWS management console.

Steps:

1. Login to AWS management console and goto EC2 -> Instances.
2. Select the instance to which we need to connect and scroll the description which is present in bottom window which will have EC2 instance details.
3. Check for "Key pair name" , this will be the key pair which needs to be used to securely connect to respective EC2 instance.

Answer 2

I assume that you got a certificate on Amazon ACM.

ACM Certificates can be used in,

• Elastic Load Balancing
• Amazon CloudFront
• Amazon API Gateway
• AWS Elastic Beanstalk
• AWS CloudFormation(for email validation only)

The certificate issued by ACM cannot be installed directly on an EC2 instance.

If you want to install an SSL certificate directly on your EC2 instance, you will need to obtain a SSL certificate through a third-party

Therefore, you cannot find any files related to the certificate issued by ACM inside your EC2 instance.

hope this helps.
