Elasticbeanstalk controlling access

I have recently started development using Amazon web services. I built a sample application using the examples which worked well. I had assumed (wrongly) that was the only user that could navigate to the URL's since, I was logged in with my amazon credentials.

Apparently anyone can access the site without logging in to amazon - not something I want.

I have started looking at AWS Userguide Security

which is a start, I am looking for articles/web sites which will guide me through implementation of a secure web site hosted on amazon.

Amazon credentials have nothing to do with the Web Application you have crafted. Here are 2 options for you:

  1. Introduce Authentication concept to your application: anything from simple http basic authentication (using standard Apachee / IIS modules. see Apachee docs) to full blown users management, secured password storage, cookies, password change/reset flows etc...

  2. Alternatively, you can use Dome9 to block your web application at the network level and then grant yourself (or other users) 'Access Leases' using Dome9 portal.
