we use '[http://10.0.0.1:9200](http://10.0.0.1:9200)' to access es without certification in the earlier versions, but in es 6.1.1， I secure es with certification(truststore/keystore), then how to access es form another client host with certification？（this client host is not an es node）

must I acess ES via programming language? in fact I want to access the es node with certification via a webbrowser like chrome on windows. In earlier versions without certification, I could type '[http://10.0.0.1:9200/\_cat/health](http://10.0.0.1:9200/_cat/health)' in chrome to access ES, but with a secured es node, how should I access it? thanks

Thanks for reply. I secure it with X-Pack (SSL certification + password) on Redhat Linux, can I access it with browser like before?
