Hi @haythem.

> i've tried following these steps but nothing happened

1. This is odd. Could you share the commands you use (scrub any confidential data) and the results of these commands?

2. After running the commands, do you see any errors in the Elasticsearch logs?

Thank you.

Hi @haytem - We recommend that you share configuration, logs, etc. in a preformatted text format - not pictures:

If your proxy uses HTTPS, you should use the following Java settings:

- `-Dhttps.proxyHost=host_name`
- `-Dhttps.proxyPort=https_port_number`

You should also ensure that the certificate used by the proxy is trusted by Java.

a) Import the certificate into the Java trust store, e.g: `keytool -import -alias $ALIAS -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts -file $PATH_TO_PEM_FILE`

b) In addition to the HTTPS proxy Java settings, add these two Java settings:

- `-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacert`
- `-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit`

Let us know if that solves the problem.
