I'm trying to connect to my elasticsearch server over SSL and tried lots of different things but couldn't fix the problem so I've tried to establish the connection using found shield example.
Currently I'm using elasticsearch 2.3.3 and jdk1.7.0\_79 and trying to connect to elastic using found-shield but when I run the example that should work it outputs the following:
```

I'm new to elasticsearch so if something misses please ask me that I'll try to provide you with it quickly.
Thanks, Emanuel

Hey,
can you provide more code, how you start/initialize the connection? There is also some docs about it, but I guess you already read it... [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/shield.html#shield-transport](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/shield.html#shield-transport)

Sry for taking so long, I'm just using the example on [https://github.com/elastic/found-shield-example](https://github.com/elastic/found-shield-example) and to initialize I just use the command given:
```
mvn compile exec:java -Dhost=YOUR_CLUSTER_ID.REGION.aws.found.io -Dshield.user="username:password"
```

Hey,
did you update the Elasticsearch/Shield plugin versions in the pom.xml?
