I am going to create a new distribution at CloudFront. Already I have uploaded my SSL certificate at AWS IAM using AWS CLI. That certificate appears in the Custom SSL Certificate dropdown on new distribution page but it is DISABLED.

Can someone tell me why is it so ? How to select my custom SSL certificate for this distribution ?

It took a whole day to AWS to propagate the new certificate to all of its nodes. Next day when I logged in to my AWS console, the certificate appeared in the dropdown and was enabled as well and I could configure distribution successfully.

Also, be sure to select us-east-1 (N. Virginia) when you make the certificate request; it's the only region that supports it at this time (even if your bucket / asset is in another region)
