Hey all
i have added a new load balancer and i have 3 origins configured behind it, each is a server with a different dns.
when i am trying to access the load balancer with http://load-balancer-dns
then i am getting an un-secure connection. how do i issue a certificate for the load balancer then ?
Each origin should have a certificate for the original hostname, it doesn’t make any difference that there is a load balancer in front.
You can use a signed certificate, Cloudflare’s supplied Origin certificate, or configure Cloudflare to accept insecure certificate (less ideal).
each of the origins behind it has a certificate issued to it.
but again when i go to https://loiad-balancer-dns
it says it is not secure
each origin has a different DNS, these are 3 servers that i want to load balance.
[Load balancer]
[Server A]. [Server B]. [Server C].
Servers A-C have their own DNS
They need certificates for loiad-balancer-dns, not their unique hostnames.
What is the exact error? Or the actual domain?
@thedaveCA
so i need to issue a certificate for the load balancer’s dns on each one of the 3 servers ?
just making sure
https://server-us-prod.wematch.live/ - this is the load balancer
Thanks, that helps. I checked the certificate when I connect to https://server-us-prod.wematch.live/, I get a certificate for https://server-us-prod-a.wematch.live/ instead. My browser notices the difference and flags it as a mismatch. The server needs a certificate for the exact hostname as the user sees in their browser.
In other words, configure each load balancer as though it is the only server hosting https://server-us-prod.wematch.live/
i just want to make sure i am understanding your answer, every server needs to have a certificate for the dns of the load balancer ?
Yes, exactly.
