I have the reverse proxy load balancer and its working fine. now want to run this with ssl so how to managed the SSL certs on the backend servers ??
Means what could be the ssl entry/ssl certs for the backedn servers??

I am using google domains with gcloud static bucket and a https load balancer. A while ago the load balancer was set up to serve google-managed GTS ssl certs. This has now been revised to a self-managed third party ssl cert. The settings on the balancer do refer to the new cert; and gcloud does list the new cert as available.
Yet, the load balancer actually serves the 'old' GTS ssl cert no matter what. I've even removed the GTS cert via the console but that did not help.
How can I force the load balancer to serve the new cert?
I have the following infrastructure for my artifactory web server
Artifactory Server - myMainartifactory.myCompany.com
load balancer - myLoadbalancer01.myCompany.com
load balancer - myLoadBlancer02.myCompany.com
The SSL certificate is purchased for the domain myMainArtifactory.myCompany.com that both load balancers serve.From some posts including this one, I was under the impression that I could use the same private key and certificate for the load balancers.
But when I try to ping the docker registry it says that the certificate is for myMainArtifactory.mycompany.com domain.How does this work?
I have a problem to add https to my EC2 instance and maybe you guys can have the answer to make it work.
I have a load balancer that is forwarding the connection to my EC2 instance, I've add the SSL certificate to the load balancer and everything went fine, I've add a listener to the port 443 that will forward to the port 443 of my instance and I've configured Apache to listen on both port 443 and 80, now here the screenshot of my load balancer:
The SSL certificate is valid and on port 80 (HTTP) everything is fine, but if I try the with https the request does not got through.
Any idea?
Cheers
Elastic Load Balancer can not forward your HTTPS requests to the server. This is why SSL is there : to prevent a man in the middle attack (amongst others)
The way you can get this working is the following :
configure your ELB to accept 443 TCP connection and install an SSL certificate through IAM (just like you did)
relay traffic on TCP 80 to your fleet of web servers
configure your web server to accept traffic on TCP 80 (having SSL between the load balancer and the web servers is also supported, but not required most of the time)
configure your web servers Security Group to only accept traffic from the load balancer.
(optional) be sure your Web Servers are running in a private subnet, i.e. with only private IP addressed and no route to the Internet Gateway
If you really need to have an end-to-end SSL tunnel between your client and you backend servers (for example, to perform client side SSL authentication), then you'll have to configure your load balancer in TCP mode, not in HTTP mode (see Support for two-way TLS/HTTPS with ELB for more details)

Do you have an HTTPS listener on your EC2 instance? If not, your instance port should be 80 for both load balancer listeners.
I have an EC2 instance with Apache and Tomcat servers. And I want to add SSL certificates for https access. Since I am new to server technologies, can anybody help me on this? Where do I configure SSL certificates?
Setup a Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) in front of your EC2 instance you can upload ssl certs to these

I'm looking for information on how to configure an HTTP load balancer or proxy server (squid, nginx, HAProxy, etc.) to handle the SSL for my domain as an alternative to adding Heroku's SSL Endpoint add-on for $20/month.
The load balancer or proxy server would terminate the SSL connection and the last leg to the heroku server would be over http.
SSL is now included on all paid dynos. Thus, you pay only the certificate price.

A new add-on was added a few short months ago called Expedited SSL. This add-on provides you with both the registration of an SSL certificate along with the endpoint for serving it, whereas SSL Endpoint is only the endpoint used to serve the SSL certificate you've already purchased from an SSL provider.
