Hi  
I have enabled https using the following parameters on the .yml file:

xpack.security.enabled: true  
xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled: true  
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true  
xpack.security.http.ssl.certificate\_authorities: "certs/ca.crt"  
xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore.path: "certs/pfxFile.pfx"  
xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore.password: "\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*"

so these have worked properly and I have enabled https but its privilege is a 'read-only' for some reason, anyone who could tell me why this is happening ? and how can I provide write access to the index?  
Also when it was http, things were completely fine.  
Could someone please help? I am new to all this. Thanks

Have a look at [Web Portocols and Ports used by Elasticsearch](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/web-portocols-and-ports-used-by-elasticsearch/220055/14)

Hello  
I have created built-in user passwords, problem now is to create a role with write access, none of the roles are working and all of them are unauthorized.  
I am also unable to integrate kibana with my elasticsearch,  
I have given the following configurations:

server.ssl.enabled:true  
server.ssl.keystore.path:certs/pfxFile.pfx  
ssserver.ssl.keystore.password:\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

elasticsearch.host:["[https://DomainName:9200](https://DomainName:9200)"]  
elasticsearch.username:kibana  
elasticsearch.password:  
elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities:[certs/ca.crt]

the only response I get on kibana is -\>  
log [05:49:14.802] [warning][admin][elasticsearch] Unable to revive connection: [http://localhost:9200/](http://localhost:9200/)  
log [05:49:14.804] [warning][admin][elasticsearch] No living connections
