title: AWS Elastic Beanstalk Namecheap SSL Configuration
body: <p>My iOS software platform runs on AWS Elastic Beanstalk and has a URL we'll call "something.elasticbeanstalk.com".  I have a website we'll call "website.com" I purchased and operate the DNS records for through Namecheap. I need to make the URL my iOS client apps use to connect to the server HTTPS since Apple is requiring this soon due to App Transport Security. </p>
  
  <p><strong>WHAT I THINK I'M SUPPOSED TO DO</strong></p>
  
  <p>What I think I'm supposed to do is, create an SSL certificate for "website.com" and apply that SSL certificate to the AWS EB load balancer. Then I need to create a subdomain for "website.com" that redirects traffic to "something.elasticbeanstalk.com". Client apps connect to the subdomain of "website.com" which is now HTTPS and redirects to "something.elsastic.beanstalk.com". <strong>Is that correct?</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR</strong></p>
  
  <p>So far, I created a SSL certificate for "website.com" using AWS Certificate Manager. For this I had to verify my email address associated with "website.com". I then applied that SSL certificate to my environment's load balancer int the AWS Management Console. After that, I went into Namecheap and followed <a href="https://medium.com/@ryan_waits/using-aws-elastic-beanstalk-and-namecheap-to-deploy-and-host-your-node-js-app-dc4129d0eb2c#.cs4yciw5u" rel="noreferrer">this guide in the 'Domain Name &amp; AWS 53 Management' section</a> to do it. </p>
  
  <p>I read in <a href="http://techgenix.com/namecheap-aws-ec2-linux/" rel="noreferrer">this article</a> that I needed to create an alias and/or set up Nameservers in AWS Route53. I tried doing that but don't know what I'm doing and it seems to conflict with the Medium article I linked above that I followed telling me to change the CNAME record for the URL and the Redirect URL record for "website.com".</p>
  
  <p><strong>QUESTION</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>What do I do from here?</strong></p>
