Hi,

The problem is

IllegalArgumentException[none of the ciphers [TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WI
TH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA] are supported by this JVM];

It looks almost as though Elasticsearch uses another JVM on that server. Can you please share the first lines of the log output when Elasticsearch starts ?

Hi,

Thank you a lot, you were right, it was pointing to the JVM that it was used to install Websphere and not the "1.8.0_152", and so I point it to it.

Thanks again.
