hello, I have a set up where an app developed via flask places the logs onto a Elasticsearch server the ingests and visualizes the logs . I want to know if i could enable HTTP only between the browser and kibana and not between any of the other components like between kibana and Elasticsearch ? ---

@Shreesh_Narayanan I have not tried only securing kibana and web browser, i tried securing all communications and it worked as expected, it should be pretty straightforward securing the communication between browser and kibana. please refer: [encrypt kibana browser](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/security-basic-setup-https.html#encrypt-kibana-browser). ---

You can use nginx reverse proxy kibana \<-http-\> nginx \<-https-\> browser ---

It's not clear why you would want to do this? ---

currently our singlenode set up is on http . just wanted to know if enabling https is a requirement across stack or if we could have it on components only such as between kibana and browser ---
