API Gateway custom domain certificate error

I'm trying to set up a regional API gateway with a custom domain, and I'm hitting a problem involving SSL certificates. Here's what I've done:

  • Using ACM, created a certificate for vitalservices-3.docriot.com.
  • In API Gateway, created a regional custom domain name--vitalservices-3.docriot.com--assigned the vitalservices-3.docriot.com certificate to it, and added a base path mapping from "/" to "vitalservices-3:prod".
  • In the Route53 hosted zone for docriot.com, created a CNAME record mapping vitalservices-3.docriot.com to 82cgbm6s93.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. This record has a latency-based routing policy, but it is, for now, the only record for vitalservices-3.docriot.com.

When I run

curl https://82cgbm6s93.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod

I get

{"message":"Missing Authentication Token"}

which is what I expect, as the API requires Cognito authentication. I get the same message when I ignore certificate errors using the "-k" option and run

curl https://vitalservices-3.docriot.com -k

But if I drop the -k and run

curl https://vitalservices-3.docriot.com

I get

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: Invalid certificate chain . . .

How can I fix this?

EDIT: I was just using curl on my OS X box because I assumed it was a simpler way of illustrating the error. I get similar behavior when I access those URLs in my Chrome browser. If enter https://vitalservices-3.docriot.com, I get the red warning triangle in the URL bar and the page saying, "Attackers might be trying to steal your information . . . ". Then, if I choose the option to view the page anyways, the browser displays a page with the text "{"message":"Missing Authentication Token"}", just as when I use "curl -k". Thus I don't think the problem is that my machine doesn't trust a certificate authority.

I've attached a screenshot of what I see when I click "Not Secure" in the url bar and look at the certificate info.enter image description here

The error that curl is displaying is not very specific and applies to a number of certificate issues. In your case, you are probably missing the file cacert.pem, which is a bundle of certificates of public Certificate Authorities from Mozilla.

You can download cacert.pem from CURL's web site:

cacert.pem

Certificate you chose from dropdown in Custom Domain of API Gateway does not satisfy dns you're hitting. Only vitalservices-3.docriot.com or *.docriot.com is valid from ACM. Try changing ssl with the one mentioned will resolve this.

You need to ensure two things.

  1. API Gateway is the same as your custom domain name. Regional or edge.
  2. You have right DNS configured for the domain.

Your cert in ACM should show the same allowed domain as your API gateway custom domain.

We had the same problem and the issue was that the DNS record was pointing to the API Gateway endpoint. Not to the Target Domain Name endpoint of the Custom Domain Names. Because of this, the cert was coming for *.execute-.amazonaws.com.
