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.
