I am trying to configure Enterprise Search with SSL. In the enterprise-search.yml
I modified the forllowing entries:
```auto
ent_search.ssl.enabled: true
ent_search.ssl.keystore.path: server.jks
ent_search.ssl.keystore.password: xxxxx
#ent_search.ssl.keystore.key_password:
#ent_search.ssl.redirect_http_from_port:
```
and
```auto
ent_search.external_url: https://myserver.com:3002
```
The server does not start and no error messages appear in the logs. Am I missing something?
Thanx

OK, I've figured out that it just takes a looooog time for the server to come up. And then apparently I have a problem with my certificate setup.

What was the problem?
I have got an issue with SSL too, could you please have a look
