Certificate Requests Stuck In Pending Validation for days!

0

Hi, i'm new so bare with me i tried to use AWS ACM with DNS verification! after made sure Route53 actually set correctly, i can see my website via http://mydomain.com ...

but ACM never validated! i thought i did something wrong! so changed the DNS to park mode on Domain side w8 till made sure site check-host.net pointed to park mode then re did Route53 and again w8ted till DNS propagated to AWS EC2

then re submitted for ACM by DNS verification and another day passed and still same as before it stuck in Pending validation!

so what now should i gave up on AWS ACM and try other methods for setup SSL for my website!?

  • did you buy your domain in Route53 or configured domain delegation from 3d party domain provider to Route53 ?

  • are your public domain NS records pointing to Route53? Have you created the CNAME record that gets generated by ACM under your domain? I suggest setting your TTL to a low number in order for other DNS resolvers to flush the old entries and try again. Usually the DNS verification should only take a few minutes.

When you generate a public certificate in ACM with a DNS valication, ACM provides you with a CNAME key:value. You have to create a CNAME entry in the platform where you are managing your domain. If you bought you domain in the third party provider, you can create the CNAME there or configure a domain delegation to the Route53 and after that create the CNAME in Route53. The domain validaion in ACM usually takes several minutes.
