I have an EC2 instance on Amazon (AWS). The instance is behind a ELB (Elastic Load Balancer). I want to allow HTTPS connections to reach the EC2 instance.
Is it necessary to have the load balancer configured for HTTPS, ie, to check the certificates etc, or can this just be done traditionally within the EC2 instance and virtual host SSL configuration ?
The reason I'm asking is because I have allowed traffic via ELB -> EC2 for port 80 and 443, but only port 80 reaches the instance.
