I'm new to aws. I'm trying to implement https with help of elb. I have configured ssl certificate on elb along with HTTPS(Secure HTTP) on port 443. I have also configured route 53 as shown in the snap shot. I have assigned elb to A-IPv4 Address. But still its not working for https, whenever I'm trying to hit https://www.mypleaks.com its not working but its its working for http://www.mypleaks.com, www.mypleaks.com, mypleaks.com.
Please find elb screen shots below:-
its showing:-
Check the Security Group assigned to your Elastic Load Balancer. I think you need to open port 443 in the Security Group.

Greetings!!
I am using an EC2 machine and running an application in 3000 port in EC2. We have created an autoscaling group and added an Elastic load balancer to it.
I want to use HTTPS connection. Instead of using SSL certificate, we have added a Cloudfront. Cloudfront provides the HTTPS url. In Security group we have opened PORT 80, 443 and 3000
Please help me, is there any best way to achieve this requirement.

As you already have an ELB, you can use AWS ACM to get free SSL & attach to your ELB. This way you get HTTPS
I deployed my application in AWS ec2 instance and it is working well with instances's IP address. Instead of using IP address I bought a domain from godaddy and connected to my ec2 instance with load balancer and target group. And also generated a SSL certificate for https. Now my domain http://example.com is working fine but while I changed http to https it is working with port number like https://example.com:5005
How can I remove that port number in url? Do I need to add anything in target group or load balancer?? Can someone help me to resolve this.
thanks in advance!
If you don't provide the port number in the URL , the standard port for the protocol is used, which in your case will be 443 for https.
You need to create a standard HTTPS listener on your load balancer, which can forward the traffic recevied on 443 to your instance(s) port 5005 as part of the target group.
I have set up a load Balancer to my elastic beanstalk app. It has provided a DNS / URL which works on http.
I have set up my domain on Route 53. I'm trying to make it work with HTTPS for a subdomain app.example.com
I have set up a wildcard certificate using ACM *.example.com.
I have enable HTTPS and port 443 on the loadBalancer. But I can't access it using the domain name https://app.example.com but works with http://app.example.com
In Route 53, I have created an A record with Alias set to the load Balancer DNS Name.
I have gone through tonnes of answers on stackoverflow but nothing worked for me. No idea what I'm missing.
You do not need to map 443 of the target as the TLS will terminate before sending the request to target.
Map 8080 port of the target to 443 of the load balancer.
Below diagram show SSL/TLS termination work with ALB.
SSL Certificates
To use an HTTPS listener, you must deploy at least one SSL/TLS server
certificate on your load balancer. The load balancer uses a server
certificate to terminate the front-end connection and then decrypt
requests from clients before sending them to the targets.
/application/create-https-listener
This is what worked for me. Changing Instance Protocol to HTTP in first row and changing Instance Port to 80.
I am working with an AWS EC2 instance (amazon Linux, elastic IP) trying to set up SSL through ACM. The certificate is verified and the load balancer is passing the health checks listening on prot 443, forwarding to port 80. Initially, when testing https I received a connection refused. This confused me because I thought the load balancer would catch and forward this to port 80. I enabled port 443 via nginx on the EC2 instance, so now it is listening on 443 (tested via telnet), which got rid of the connection refused error, but now I get a ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. This makes sense if it is missing the load-balancer and hitting the EC2 instance directly.
Is this the problem (missing the load-balancer)? If so, how do I fix this. I don't see a way to assign an an IP address to a load-balancer. Is a CNAME record required for this kind of setup? If so, how do I configure this?
Thanks.
Your load balancer will be the spot where SSL terminates, and then carries on to your insecure servers running on port 80. You should change your EC2 instance back to port 80.
Yes, you should point a CNAME at your load balancer from the domain the certificate was created for. You do not get an IP for ELB's, as there may actually be many load balancers behind the scenes, which you don't see, all hiding behind the AWS CNAME.
Summary:
Change your EC2 to serve traffic on port 80 again
Make ELB accept connections on port 443, and send to 80 on the instance
Assign a valid domain to your ELB that the certificate is valid for
Profit.

I have 2 services running on AWS.
Lets say my domain is example.com
I run both of them through Elasticbeanstalk.
One is a single EC2 instance with a elastic IP setup and running on the apex - example.com and www.example.com which works correctly and i can access it.
The other one is a service that has a load balancer in front and i want it to be accessible through sockets.example.com which i cannot get to work.
I have the route 53 nameservers setup in namecheap.com from where i bought the domain.
Here is my whole setup:
EDIT:
I can get the URl from the alias target and open it in a browser for example or ping it. That works.
I have the loadbalancer setup to forward the traffic from 80 to 8080 where my sockets are because of the root access rights for attaching them with sockets i was unable to set them up on the lower ports such as 80. But i don't think thats the issue since i am running a node.js app and i can open a sample page if i go straight on the Alias target URL.
Did you set your ELB up as public or internal?
