I am looking for help getting HTTPS working on my AWS EBS wepapp. I have loaded the cert into AWS however I still cannot connect to my site via HTTPS.

  • My application uses Spring 4.1 and Spring security 3.2.
  • All the non HTTPS content on my app works fine.
  • MY AWS EBS environment uses 64bit Amazon Linux 2014.09 v1.0.0 running Tomcat 8 Java 8.
  • I followed the lengthy process to get a signed certificate from StartSSL.
  • I uploaded my signed cert, key and chain to AWS via IAM successfully.
  • In my EBS environment on AWS I enabled HTTPS, set the port to 443 and selected my newly uploaded certificate.
  • re-deployed with the new settings.

Now when I try to connect via https it times out - nothing is evident in the logs...

I am very green on AWS so i could be overlooking something. My intuition is pointing me towards something not configured correctly in the load balancer.?

The load balancer shows

Port Configuration
Port 80 (HTTP) forwarding to 80 (HTTP) Stickiness: Disabled(Edit)
port 443 (HTTPS, Certificate: mycert) forwarding to 80 (HTTP) Stickiness: Disabled(Edit)

There are several options for the cipher that are over my head too. help!

  • Use openssl s_client or similar to connect, observe, and help isolate the problem. Dec 19, 2014 at 22:34

Turns out I needed create a new security group with HTTPS enabled, then add that to my instance. I can provide more details if anyone is interested.

    I'm interested. Please edit your answer to include the details. There's no harm in "officially" answering your own question :)
