Free Verisign Certificate for Amazon EC2 instance

How to get a signed free Certificate from Verisign for setup https on Amazon EC2 instance

1. Install openssl in your environment
2. Create a RSA key
>openssl genrsa -out test-xxx.elasticbeanstalk.com.key 2048
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus
..........................................................+++
.........................+++
e is 65537 (0x10001)

The generated file should look like below

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Mxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

3. Create certifcate signing request (CSR) with generated RSA private key
>openssl req -new -key test-xxx.elasticbeanstalk.com.key -out test-gatekeeper-api-v1.elasticbeanstalk.com.csr
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
