requestFailureReason

The validation failure reason, if any, of the certificate.

The following failure reasons are possible:

  • NO_AVAILABLE_CONTACTS - This failure applies to email validation, which is not available for Lightsail certificates.

  • ADDITIONAL_VERIFICATION_REQUIRED - Lightsail requires additional information to process this certificate request. This can happen as a fraud-protection measure, such as when the domain ranks within the Alexa top 1000 websites. To provide the required information, use the AWS Support Center to contact AWS Support.

    Note

    You cannot request a certificate for Amazon-owned domain names such as those ending in amazonaws.com, cloudfront.net, or elasticbeanstalk.com.

  • DOMAIN_NOT_ALLOWED - One or more of the domain names in the certificate request was reported as an unsafe domain by VirusTotal. To correct the problem, search for your domain name on the VirusTotal website. If your domain is reported as suspicious, see Google Help for Hacked Websites to learn what you can do.

    If you believe that the result is a false positive, notify the organization that is reporting the domain. VirusTotal is an aggregate of several antivirus and URL scanners and cannot remove your domain from a block list itself. After you correct the problem and the VirusTotal registry has been updated, request a new certificate.

    If you see this error and your domain is not included in the VirusTotal list, visit the AWS Support Center and create a case.

  • INVALID_PUBLIC_DOMAIN - One or more of the domain names in the certificate request is not valid. Typically, this is because a domain name in the request is not a valid top-level domain. Try to request a certificate again, correcting any spelling errors or typos that were in the failed request, and ensure that all domain names in the request are for valid top-level domains. For example, you cannot request a certificate for example.invalidpublicdomain because invalidpublicdomain is not a valid top-level domain.

  • OTHER - Typically, this failure occurs when there is a typographical error in one or more of the domain names in the certificate request. Try to request a certificate again, correcting any spelling errors or typos that were in the failed request.
