@maissam_asgari Thank you for such as detailed response and looks like you are doing pretty much everything right.... except for 1 last thing, you are so close.

**It Turns out once you set / create / manually configure security... you can no longer use the token enrollment process to enroll Kibana ....** I wrote this up [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elasticsearch-create-enrollment-token-is-not-possible-without-a-keystore-aka-with-pem-certificates/336136/2).

Ugggh yes sorry about that ☹

So all you need to do is manually configure kibana with the following

```auto
elasticsearch.hosts: ["https://<elastic_ip_or_host>:9200"]
elasticsearch.username: "kibana_system"
elasticsearch.password: "pass"

# The CA you created the elasticsearch HTTP cert with, copy to where you want and reference it
elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities: /etc/kibana/elasticsearch-ca.pem

```

I think the basic directions are [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.14/security-basic-setup-https.html#encrypt-kibana-elasticsearch)

If you did not setup the `kibana_system` user account you can set it up with the command [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-passwords.html)

Let us know if it works...
