@Cylindric, as @thomasneirynck wrote, I have tryed to use nginx as reverse proxy.  
This is what I wrote in configuration file:  
server {  
listen 443;  
server\_name localhost;

```
	#root html;
	#index index.html index.htm;

	ssl on;
	ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.key;

	ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:1m;
	ssl_session_timeout 5m;

	#ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
	#ssl_ciphers "HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5 or HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!3DES";
	ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
	ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

	location / {
         proxy_set_header Host $host;
         proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
         proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
         proxy_set_header Authorization "Basic XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
         proxy_pass https://XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.eu-west-1.aws.found.io/app/kibana;
     }
}
```
