I don't suppose you've any mail to admin@, webmaster@ etc. on those hosts set up? If not I'll see if the email to the domain company went through.

Nope, I haven't done anything but set up web servers on those beanstalk domains that you CNAMEd. And I haven't gotten any mail that seemed to be directed to those addresses.

Sometimes there's an alternate mechanism where you place a small dotfile on the website or similar, which I could do if they offered that.

So, incredibly, Amazon don't support DNS or put-a-file-on-your-webserver validation, it has to be email. And none of the messages have come through to our registrar account.

Here's the information I'm going on:

What's the next step in getting the certs on the hosts?

from open-ledger.

The domains aren't showing up in the AWS console so it looks like we have to start again.

I've entered the domains again, if you could please respond again I'll make sure to chase this up.

Done for both.

Thank you! I've re-approved them, found the resulting certificates where Amazon hid them, and added them to the Elastic Beanstalk instances. They now have https.

So they do! 🎉 I'll take care of forcing HTTPS-only. Thanks for your help!
