This usually happens in non-secure contexts (e.g. if there is no https connection). Can you check that you are have a secure connection? ---

I think that it changed on 7.13 according to the [release notes](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.x/enhancements-and-bug-fixes-v7.13.0.html). This is the [change](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/97968), Copy as Curl now uses the browser Clipboard API which only works on secured sites. From the github tags it was also backported to `7.12.2`, so `7.12.1` should be the last version where you can use copy as curl without https. ---

ohh man. ok. I guess nothing I can do. that was very very useful tool. ---

yes but that means I have to secure all my other traffic and lot more it is not as simple as putting ssl in to kibana. ---

It really depends, if you are using unsecured communications in your cluster and between Elasticsearch and kibana, you can secure the communication between kibana and your browser without changing the other communications, it is a different setting. You can have an unsecured cluster and use Kibana with HTTPS if you want. ---

ohhh I didn't know that. ok I use basic authentication for Elasticsearch, space and stuff. has created p12 certificate. but if I can use only https from kibana then it is prefect. can you point me to some setup document on how do I do it? ---

You can read this part of [the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.15/security-basic-setup-https.html#encrypt-kibana-browser). It explain how to secure communications between Kibana and the browser. ---

ok. I follow that documentation created .key and .csr send that .csr to internal CA for signing. they send me file with .cer here is my config looks like # https setup test server.ssl.enable: true server.ssl.certificate: /etc/kibana/config/certnew.cer server.ssl.key: /etc/kibana/config/houelkdev01.key and here are the erros ```auto [2021-10-19T14:10:31.540-05:00][FATAL][root] Error: [config validation of [server].ssl.enable]: definition for this key is missing at ObjectType.validate (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/@kbn/config-schema/target_node/types/type.js:88:13) at ConfigService.validateAtPath (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/@kbn/config/target_node/config_service.js:232:19) at MapSubscriber.project (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/@kbn/config/target_node/config_service.js:240:169) at MapSubscriber._next (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/internal/operators/map.js:49:35) at MapSubscriber.Subscriber.next (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/internal/Subscriber.js:66:18) at DistinctUntilChangedSubscriber._next (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/internal/operators/distinctUntilChanged.js:69:30) at DistinctUntilChangedSubscriber.Subscriber.next (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/internal/Subscriber.js:66:18) at MapSubscriber._next (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/internal/operators/map.js:55:26) at MapSubscriber.Subscriber.next (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/internal/Subscriber.js:66:18) at ReplaySubject._subscribe (/usr/share/kibana/node_modules/rxjs/internal/ReplaySubject.js:80:28) ``` ---

> [@elasticforme](#): > > `Error: [config validation of [server].ssl.enable]: definition for this key is missing` This is wrong, it is `server.ssl.enabled` not `server.ssl.enable`. ---
