Migrate WordPress site to different AWS account (PART 3 – Re-create the SSL cert on Certificate Manager from new AWS account)

Since transferring a domain requires to raise a support ticket from AWS Support Center,

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-transfer-between-aws-accounts.html#domain-transfer-between-aws-accounts-domain

in order to save time, hosted zone migration will not be performed here but later.

 

To request a SSL certificate on the new AWS account (on NEW AWS account side):

1). Request to create a new SSL certificate for the domain in the account

 

2). Make a public certificate

 

3). Inputthe domain name

 

4). Perform the DNS validation, “Review” & “Confirm & Request”

5). Copy the value of the generated key-pair value

 

 

To perform DNS validation (on original AWS account side):

1). Log onto the original AWS account -> Go to “Route 53” to find the hostzone of your domain

 

2). Create the CNAME record based on the previous key-pair value

 

3). Once it is set, it might take a few minutes (~30mins) to finish the DNS validation, and then you will see the SSL request status is “Issued” when it is ready (on new AWS account – Certificate Manager).
