Hi,

I'm running Kibana on AWS while using Elasticloud for Elasticsearch. I got nginx set up with let's encrypt while running Kibana on localhost.

This is working fine but results in a insecure cookies warning in the logs. According to the documentation this is fixed by enabling SSL. I generated a .key and .crt and configured kibana.yml but now I'm getting 502 Bad gateway errors.

Config

```
server.port: 5601
server.host: "localhost"
#server.basePath: "/kibana"
kibana.defaultAppId: "dashboards"
elasticsearch.username: "user"
elasticsearch.password: "pass"
xpack.security.enabled: true
elasticsearch.hosts: ["https://elasticcloudip"]
server.ssl.enabled: true
server.ssl.key: /path/server.key
server.ssl.certificate: /path/server.crt
server.ssl.keyPassphrase: somethingsomething
```

Hello,

If you're running on a Linux with selinux you could try running this command:

```auto
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on

```
