As of 2018-03-11 I have was having issues with using a Lets Encrypt SSL certificate on my N2WS CPM server. I found that the apache server was not providing the intermediary certificate when provided in a chained format in “SSLCertificateFile /opt/n2wsoftware/cert/cpm_server.crt”. To resolve the issue I explicitly provided apache with the location of the intermediary certificate by adding the following configuration line to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf ;

SSLCertificateChainFile \
/etc/letsencrypt/live/SUB.DOMAIN.TLD/chain.pem

• Launch from AWS Market Place
• Attach CPM IAM Role (add ssm for ec2 policy)
• Associate EIP
• Associate SWAP EBS volume as /dev/sdg (sdf is reserved for data drive)
• SSH and attach swap volume and add to fstab
• Install LetsEncrypt certbot (stop and start apache)
• Install SSL Cert
• Configure CPM and attach exiting data drive (part of upgrading)
• wait for 15-20 minutes
• reboot instance (main page will show it needs to be configured until you reboot)
• should work
• ssh to instance and install SSM agent
