How to setup SSL with a rails app

Francisco Quinones asked in General

So I have a ssl certification that I want to apply to my rails app. Im using puma on Heroku.

Hey Francisco,

Heroku has a free beta SSL offering that you can use (rather than the normal $20/mo to use SSL): https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ssl-beta

I believe you just need to use the command line to upload your certs and you should be good to go!

I chris having a little problem. So I was following the Docs.

  1. got the CSR from heroku
  2. I got a godaddy cert ssl
  3. Update the DNS (heres where im having problem.)
Standard Wildcard SSL from godaddy
CSR files
server.csr
.server.key
server.pass.key
heroku certs:info
Fetching SSL certificate hypsilophodon-49522 info for myapp done
Certificate details:
Common Name(s): *.myapp.com
                myapp.com
Expires At:     ...
Issuer:        ...Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2
Starts At:      ...
Subject:        /OU=Domain Control Validated/CN=*.myapp.com
SSL certificate is self signed.
heroku certs
Name                               Common Name(s)                  Expires               Trusted  Type
....-49522  *.myapp.com, myapp.com                         ...                        False    SNI
On my DNS Management
CNAME   *   myapp.herokuapp.com
CNAME   www hbquality.herokuapp.com
Your certificate *.myapp.com expires on ...
Ensure you've updated your DNS to reflect the new target name. See domain table below.
heroku panel settin
Domain Name DNS Target
*.myapp.com   wildcard.myapp.com.herokudns.com
myapp.com  myapp.com.herokudns.com
www.myapp.com www.myapp.com.herokudns.com


I think im doing some setup wrong.

UPDATE:
Godaddy Cname

www.myapp.com.herokudns.com
wildcard.myapp.com.herokudns.com

I'm not an expert on this stuff and I've only used their legacy SSL setup, so unfortunately I don't know that I have any advice for you on this one. Hopefully someone else can weigh in here for you or you can check with Heroku support on it!
