I currently have a domain from domain.com. I have a heroku domain name and a dns target. I have also enabled the free ssl on domain.com.
Example:
Heroku: domain: www.test.com DNS Target: crazytarget.herokudns.com
Domain.com: Record: CNAME, Name: WWW, Content: crazytarget.herokudns.com
Note: This works for non-https.
I uploded a .htaccess file onto heroku so now the heroku domain is served at https://path.herokuapp.com.
This domain name cname does NOT pick up the https version of the site.
My question is: How do I get my domain to use https? I dont see how to do this anywhere.
I had to setup SSL on the Heroku end. :(

I have a website hosted on heroku. I purchased hobby and now it has ssl. On 1and1 I point root domain to https:// address and ssl works fine. On www domain there is no ssl. I added ssl herokudn address to CNAME for www subdomain on 1and1. Does not work. What can I do?
The problem was with Rails. On production.rb you must uncomment config.force_ssl = true
I've added a custom domain (bought on GoDaddy) to my Heroku app and am on the hobby dyno. When I type in www.example.com everything works fine, but when I open example.com I get a name mismatch error.
My cname host www points to example-78914389.herokudns.com and I have forward to https://www.example.com on GoDaddy enabled.
The certificate is only valid for the following names: shortener.secureserver.net, www.shortener.secureserver.net.
Why is the certificate valid for these domains and not for my example.com?
I don't know if it matters, but I just ported the domain from zeit now to GoDaddy.
Problem solved!
I transferred my domain from GoDaddy to namecheap, then made an ALIAS record. I've also added example.com to my app in Heroku. I now have www.example.com and example.com added and both domains work.

I am using the bitnami django on Google Cloud platform stack.
Goal: I want SSL configured on my bitnami stack hosted on Google Cloud. But their toolsudo ./bncert-tool complains "The domain resolves to a different IP address than the one detected for this machine. Please fix its DNS entries or remove it.
I have purchased a domain using google domains.
I have set up google dns to point to the IP address as I see in the bitnami stack. I have enabled mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com to forward to the cloud server ipaddress/home in Google domain name settings
I then tried to run the tool /opt/bitnami/bncert-tool:
sudo /opt/bitnami/bncert-tool

MY QUESTION:
How do I resolve this? I even tried adding both domains
mydomain.com www.mydomain.com
I want SSL enabled for mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com and not sure where I am going wrong?
Secondy, after the link forwards, how to associate my domain name so that the static IP doesn't keep displaying instead it shows the mapped domain mydomain.com/home
thanks

You may need to change certain settings such as the domain name settings. If using Google Domains, the forwards actually don't integrate the A + Cname to one static IP. I had to physically create A and CName records.
This solved the first issue: What is interesting is one of my domains: mydomain.com is pointing multiple IP address whereas the other is point to different IP depending upon the DNS Server. This was also the one contributing to the error I used to get
when I ran sudo ./bncert-tool "The domain 'mydomain.com' resolves to a different IP address than the one detected for this machine, which is 'aa.bb.ccc.ddd'. Please fix its DNS entries or remove it.
I think physically forced the HTTPS redirection in web server settings. using this rule
/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami.conf,
Changed RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://example.com/$1 [R,L]
Then I still had some problems where the first hit the URLs will load, the next hit I would 404 errors.
I realized this was an issue with project level settings
opt/bitnami/apps/django/django_projects/Project/conf
sudo vi httpd-app.conf
WSGIScriptAlias /PROJECT '/opt/bitnami/apps/django/django_projects/PROJECT/PROJECT/wsgi.py'
to
WSGIScriptAlias / '/opt/bitnami/apps/django/django_projects/myproject/myproject/wsgi.py'
Then was the issue with ALLOWED HOSTS in settings.py:
Ensure the right ALLOWED HOSTS is updated, the project root or your application root, depending upon where you serve from.
/opt/bitnami/apps/django/django_projects/Project/Project
updated the settings in py here...
ALLOWED_HOSTS in settings.py
I've been struggling with the configuration of my DNS app on Heroku. Things I want to accomplish:
www.example.com and example.com , both with SSL config (HTTPS)
Things I tried so far ...
GoDaddy Settings:
CNAME | www | example.com.herokudns.com
FOWARDING to
https://www.example.com
However, this setup is working great with HTTP only, but I'm getting a "Your connection is not private" error when I type the https.
I checked several tutorials and none address this issue.
PS: I'm using the SSL automatically managed from heroku.
SOLVED IT
Getting the naked domain set up with Godaddy easily: Set forwarding to your domain: https://www.my-domain.com. This will redirect non www to the correct place.
With that, I don't actually need to add a second domain in heroku (example.com).
Just keep the www.example.com, turn the SSL on, go to go daddy and redirect. This is working for me so far....
I have 2 domains, one at Register.com and one at Godaddy. I need them both to point to one Heroku app, and the following scenarios to work:
http://domain1.com
http://domain2.com
http://www.domain1.com
http://www.domain2.com
https://domain1.com
https://domain2.com
https://www.domain1.com
https://www.domain2.com
All of the above should all end up at one heroku app at https://www.domain1.com
Being that it's Heroku, I have no access to the .htaccess, and I've heard you're only allowed one SSL cert per app. I also have forwarding setup at GoDaddy, but apparently forwarding does not work if you try to forward from https on a non-hosted app.
Your cert has to match the domain name that the client will try to answer, this means that when you make it the Subject Alternative Names (SANs) have to include www.domain1.com, domain1.com, www.domain2.com, domain2.com, and the domain/ip of your actual heroku app.
For your DNS records, if the heroku app is at a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), and not an ip then follow these steps:
Forward your root domain, e.g. example.com to www.example.com, and make the CNAME record www. 300 IN CNAME domain.of.heroku.app
If the heroku app is reachable at a static ip follow this:
Make an the following A records for both your domains:
# 300 IN A ip-here
