Apply SSL to Amazon EC2 Instance

Hello Experts,

I have a java based web application running on EC2 instance. I have pointed our own domain name and can access the URL using the domain name.

I want to apply an SSL certificate to the web application. I have tried creating a certificate from ACM and configuring a classic load balancer (This is what Amazon recommends) However, I have lost access to my application when everything was done. I had to revert to the original settings. I still want to apply an SSL certificate.

Your help would be highly appreciated. Do I need to change something in my web servers configuration? I use Tomcat.

Thanks in advance.

Please provide any error messages that you get when you enabled SSL. Also did you purchase a certificate from a third party or self-signed it?

Thanks, Dmitri, for your response. I was able to solve the issue. What I needed to do was to point my domain name to the load balancer endpoint. It worked when I did that.

Yes you need to edit your web server configuration to apply the ssl certificate.
