    3. Select Add certificate.
    4. Enter the following information:

      • Certificate name: Enter a friendly name for the certificate bundle. It must be unique within the load balancer, and it can't be changed in the Console. (It can be changed using the API.)

      • Choose SSL Certificate file: Drag the certificate file, in PEM format, into the SSL certificate field.

        You can also select the Paste SSL certificate option to paste a certificate directly into this field.

      • Specify private key: (Required for SSL termination.) Select to provide a private key for the certificate.

        • Choose private key file: Drag the private key, in PEM format, into the Private key field.

          You can also select the Paste private key option to paste a private key directly into this field.
