Add certificates to the certificate list
You can add certificates to the certificate list for your listener using the
following procedure. When you first create an HTTPS listener, the certificate list
is empty. You can add one or more certificates. You can optionally add the default
certificate to ensure that this certificate is used with the SNI protocol even if it
is replaced as the default certificate. For more information, see SSL certificates.

Update the security policy
When you create an HTTPS listener, you can select the security policy that meets
your needs. When a new security policy is added, you can update your HTTPS listener
to use the new security policy. Application Load Balancers do not support custom security policies. For
more information, see Security policies.
Using FIPS policies on your Application Load Balancer:
All secure listeners attached to an Application Load Balancer must use either FIPS security
policies or non-FIPS security policies; they cannot be mixed. If an existing
Application Load Balancer has two or more listeners using non-FIPS policies and you want the listeners
to use FIPS security policies instead, remove all listeners until there is only one.
Change the security policy of the listener to FIPS and then create additional listeners
using FIPS security policies. Alternatively, you can create a new Application Load Balancer with new
listeners using only FIPS security policies.
