How to Resolve Manually
This AWS Config Rule will check if your Application Load Balancer (ALB) or Network Load Balancer (NLB) have SSL listeners that are configured to use certificates from AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)
To resolve this manually, you will need to ensure that you are using a certificate from AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) to certify an SSL or HTTPS listener which exists on your Load Balancer in question. Whilst you do have the option to upload a certificate to IAM and choose one from there, it is recommended to use one from ACM as you can offload the certificate renewal to ACM.
When constructing Listeners for your ALB or NLB, you have the option to configure the above in any HTTPS Listener. We add the Certificate from ACM as the Default SSL cert to the particular Load Balancer Listener.
Please see above for an example on how to choose the correct configuration, providing you have a certificate ready to go.
