After enabling HTTPS on a Sitecore website that is hosted on the AWS cloud, we are unable to access the Sitecore login page. https://www.[domainname].com/sitecore which returns 403 - Forbidden:Access is denied error. Some of the other pages do not load their contents as well. How can I resolved the access issue to the Sitecore Login page on Sitecore client?

The reason that I couldn't get access to the Sitecore Login page was that setting up HTTPS through Amazon load balancer placed the CMS behind the load balancer gate as well. I didn't add the IP of the load balancer's gate to the white listed IPs, and I wouldn't do such a thing as it would expose the login page to everyone. Ultimately I scrapped this approach and used a purchased certificate to enable the HTTPS.
httpinstead ofhttpsin your configurations in IIS, that may have caused the issue. Please share the log or any reference causing that issue and which Sitecore version you are using. P.S I can not comment yet, so replying as answer.
