Ok this might be a rookie question but here's my scenario.
- I have a loadbalancer managing a single EC2 instance at the moment.
- I have an application running on that EC2 instance.
What I like to achieve: 1. A complete HTTPS only connection to my application on EC2 that presently binds to 8080.
Whats the right way to achieve it? 1. Should I just upload a SSL certificate to the loadbalancer and force an SSL connection between just the client and the load balancer? Should I let the traffic between load balancer & EC2 be protected by security group?
OR--
- Do I need to configure my tomcat web app server with another certificate and configure its 443 https connector with keystore path and redirect HTTP connections to 443 port?
OR--
Is there something that I am missing Thanks,
