AWS certificate manager detecting wrong domain name

Question

I have an ssl certificate(in GoDaddy) which I key for a domain api.example.com. I import it into aws using its certification manager. While doing so, I am seeing the domain it is detecting to be example.com, www.example.com

What exactly am I doing wrong? or there is some issue with aws certificate manager.

Take your certificate and run the command `openssl x509 -in your_file_name -text -noout`. What values do you see in the `Subject Alternative Name` field? — Michael - sqlbot, Apr 13 '18 at 04:27

I called GoDaddy support and found that by default it picks domain name I own. So while rekeying it is required to mention domain name explicitly.

Steps to do that are as following:

Expand Change the site that your certificate protects section by clicking on it. Uncheck the box Change to a hosted domain. It should look like below
Save and submit, wait it until it generates certificate.
Download certificate and check the Subject Alternative Name: fields by using the command.
```
openssl x509 -in certificateName.crt -text -noout
```
