Terminate SSL on Application Load Balancer in front of Elastic Beanstalk

Question

I'm getting my Amazon generated SSL terminated on ALB that is put in front of my application that runs on Elastic Beanstalk. Ans the file content is as below:

option_settings:

    aws:elbv2:listener:443:

        DefaultProcess: https

        ListenerEnabled: 'true'

        Protocol: HTTPS

        SSLCertificateArns: arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:#############:certificate/####################################

    aws:elasticbeanstalk:environment:process:https:

        Port: '443'

        Protocol: HTTPS

Now when I try to access my application I get a "502 Bad Gateway" page instead of my web application.

Can anyone suggest to me where I'm missing out?

Answer 1

You need to specify ALB to interact with the EC2 over HTTP on port 80, so in your code change the last two line with the below:

Port: '80'

Protocol: HTTP
