if i try to connect with > curl -u kibana:password [https://10.0.10.70:9200/\_xpack?pretty](https://10.0.10.70:9200/_xpack?pretty) -verbose Then I get > curl: (51) SSL: certificate subject name (\*.domain.com) does not match target host name '10.0.10.70' I have the Certificate CA stored in /etc/ssl/certs on my Ubuntu server So yeah same kind of error, so maybe the problem is originating from the Elastic nodes, I have some other problems with them also, so I have another post with my elasticsearch.yml in here > [@Trial license not basic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/trial-license-not-basic/204206): > > Hi there, Been setting up HTTPS security on a cluster (version 6.8.0) and I have this in my eleasticsearch.yml xpack.license.self\_generated.type: basic But I see this when I check the logs [2019-10-18T12:36:14,091][WARN][o.e.l.LicenseService] [ESTEST] License [will expire] on [Friday, November 08, 2019]. If you have a new license, please update it. Otherwise, please reach out to your support contact. Any one have a clue as to why? I have only added features under the basic license … Think that the issue originates there, as I can see from my "\_nodes/\_all/settings?pretty" that is says > "transport\_address" : "10.0.10.70:9300", > "host" : "10.0.10.70", those should be the FQDN. Now I just need to figure out why and get it changed. Best regards Thomas --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-connecting-to-ips-not-fqdn/204205)._
