AWS Elastic Beanstalk Load Balancer SSL/HTTPS not working

Question

I can't switch on SSL for my load balancer in AWS Elastic beanstalk.

I add these to my configuration as well as the certificate in the drop down below them. When I hit add, I get this warning. The warning seems okay as it is ignoring a deprecated value. The environment goes through it's update, but when complete the fields above are set back to off.

What's wrong here? Am I doing something incorrectly? Is there an issue with aws elastic beanstalk interface?

what is the output when you run ```curl -vv https://the-balancer/``` — Titi Wangsa bin Damhore, Sep 07 '16 at 03:01

The docs for the AWS EC2 Classic Load Balancer say that the protocol is HTTPS, not SSL: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/classic/elb-create-https-ssl-load-balancer.html

Yes, I know that HTTPS is HTTP over SSL, but perhaps AWS GUI does not understand that.

Note that the link also tells how to configure the Class Load Balancer view the AWS CLI, which would give you another way to approach the Elastic Beanstalk Load Balancer and see if you get different results. There are also more detailed error messages out of the CLI, at least on average there are.

Looks like the AWS Elastic beanstalk UI now works to set SSL as the protocol.

I have a same problem, I solved just make some changing

 Load Balancer Protocol : SSL
 Load Balancer Port : 443

And important is :

**Instance Protocol : TCP**
Instance Port : "port number"

And Cipher select the Predefined Security Policy and set the ssl
