How to set multiple certificates for AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener

Hi I have problem setting multiple certificates for ALB listener. Here is fragment of my CF template:

  DiscoveryListenerHTTPS:
    Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener
    DependsOn:
      - DiscoveryLoadBalancer
      - DiscoveryLoadBalancerTargetGroup
    Properties:
      Certificates:
       - CertificateArn: !Ref CertificateArn1
       - CertificateArn: !Ref CertificateArn2

and response is: Up to '1' certificate ARNs can be specified, but '2' were specified (Service: AmazonElasticLoadBalancingV2; Status Code: 400; Error Code: TooManyCertificates; Request ID: XXXXXXXXX)

EDIT : improved answer thanks to @chris-pollard and @adamkgray answers

This works for me, you can specify multiple SSL certificates for an HTTPS listener.

For HTTPS, you are not allowed to specify directly multiple certificates on the AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener resource. Instead you have to create a AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::ListenerCertificate resource in your template for additional certificates.

Here is an example of a listener by 443 port using a default certificate and then a certificate list with at least one certificate and associated to the listener that was previously created:

Listener443:
    DependsOn:
    - LoadBalancer
    Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::Listener
    Properties:
      Certificates:
        - CertificateArn: !Ref CertificateARN
      LoadBalancerArn: !Ref LoadBalancer
      DefaultActions:
        - Type: fixed-response
          FixedResponseConfig:        
            ContentType: text/plain
            MessageBody: "Not Found"
            StatusCode: 404
      Port: 443
      Protocol: HTTPS

  CertificatesList:
    Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::ListenerCertificate
    Properties: 
      Certificates: 
        - CertificateArn: !Ref CertificateARN2
      ListenerArn: !Ref Listener443

Came here looking for the same answer. Found that the answer was not clearly laid out in the comments/answers, so I'm gonna do that. Although you can specify multiple SSL certificates for an HTTPS listener, you are not allowed to specify multiple certificates on the HTTPS listener resource directly in the CFN template. You have to create another resource in your template for additional certificates like this:

AdditionalListenerCertificates:
        Type: AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2::ListenerCertificate
        Properties:
            Certificates:
              - CertificateArn: !Join
                - ":"
                - - "arn:aws:acm"
                  - !Ref AWS::Region
                  - !Ref AWS::AccountId
                  - !Join ["/", ["certificate", "<you-certificate-id>"]]
            ListenerArn: !Ref HTTPSListener

It's a little clunky; the CF template for creating the listener only sets the default cert.

You should be able to add additional certs to the listener with this object: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-elasticloadbalancingv2-listenercertificate.html
