How to setup https for kibana?

Elastic Stack Kibana
3

That does not create a cert that creates a CSR a certificate signing request which you send to a certificate authority like Let's Encrypt create and actual certificate.

The following instructions create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for Kibana. A CSR contains information that a CA uses to generate and sign a security certificate

  1. Send the kibana-server.csr certificate signing request to your internal CA or trusted CA for signing to obtain a signed certificate. The signed file can be in different formats, such as a .crt file like kibana-server.crt .

So that's not going to work.

You need to create a cert with the cert util you need to use the cert mode not csr mode see here

I have an example here If you are putting both elasticsearch and Kibana on the same host.
