Hi, I have used X-pack for ES and kibana and using SSL enabling with apache. The configs are as below Apache config: \ ServerName [my-example.com](http://my-example.com) ServerAlias [my-example.com](http://my-example.com) Redirect permanent / [https://my-example.com](https://my-example.com) ProxyRequests Off ProxyVia On \ ServerName [my-example.com](http://my-example.com) ServerAlias [my-example.com](http://my-example.com) Options FollowSymLinks AuthType Basic AuthName "admin" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd Require valid-user ProxyPass [http://127.0.0.1:5601/](http://127.0.0.1:5601/) ProxyPassReverse [http://127.0.0.1:5601/](http://127.0.0.1:5601/) SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile certificate path SSLCertificateKeyFile key path Kibana.yml: server.host: \< IP Address of the instance\> [server.name](http://server.name): "[my-example.com](http://my-example.com)" elasticsearch.url: "[http://ipaddress:9200](http://ipaddress:9200)" server.ssl.cert: certificate path server.ssl.key: key path The issue is when i try to login to [https://my-example.com](https://my-example.com), the kibana page does not open but when i use [https://my-example.com:5601](https://my-example.com:5601) then the kibana page opens. Could you please let me know if iam missing out any configs? ---

I'm not sure how to configure apache, but it seems like you are actually talking to the kibana server when you access [https://my-example.com:5601](https://my-example.com:5601), and not Apache. ---

@spalge I am using apaphe as reverse proxy to connect to Kibana. I want to connect to Kibana only with the DNS name not with DNS:5601. Is there a way to work around this? ---

Do you need the apache proxy? You could also just set Kibana to listen on port 80 with the `server.port` option. Alternatively, I could help more if you were using nginx, but i don't know how apache works 😕 ---

@spalger even if I install ngnix I would still have the issue where I need to address kibana with the DNS:5601 right as this has to be ssl enabled. ---

@spalger could you please let me know how i could browse to kibana without the port no using ngnix? ---
