How to Resolve Manually

This config rule checks if an SSL/HTTPS listener is using a custom policy with the already defined cipher. The rule will be marked as non-compliant id the cipher/protocol doesn't match with one from the list. Note: Here you can find a list for valid SSL Protocols and Ciphers for this config rule to evaluate.


To resolve this, go to EC2 service and then head to Load Balancers page from within the left menu. From the  resources list, locate the non compliant load balancer and click on its name. 

Locate the Listeners card and click on Manage listeners button. Check if the configuration of the SSL/HTTPS matches the expected defined parameters and finally click on Save Changes button. Check the following screenshot as reference:
