HTTPS issue with WordPress behind Application Load Balancer on AWS
-
I am attempting to set up a wordpress site behind an application load balancer on AWS in which the certificate is installed on the ALB itself and not on the backing EC2 host. In effect, I am offloading the HTTPS traffic on the ALB and redirecting HTTPS traffic (443) to HTTP traffic (80) at the host.
As you can see by visiting https://test.rainwalk.net and http://test.rainwalk.net my wordpress configuration does not like this redirection.
Can anyone help me debug my config such that HTTPS to HTTP works?
The reason why I am doing it this way is that AWS offers free certificates through their Certificate Authority that secure their load balancers in a management-free way. I do not want to purchase and manage my own certificate to secure the Apache servers on the EC2 back-ends.
