I was able to run Kibana properly. But I went a step ahead and tried making it a HTTPS. I followed the steps mentioned in below link.  
[https://www.ulyaoth.net/resources/tutorial-install-logstash-and-kibana-on-a-windows-server.34/](https://www.ulyaoth.net/resources/tutorial-install-logstash-and-kibana-on-a-windows-server.34/)

So, now Kibana is loaded under IIS and I am able to load it on the browser. But nothing is displayed under the tabs. It BLANK.

Kibana is now setup on 5602 port.

Error on running the command line -

The error your getting on the command line means that something else is running on that port.

The tutorial you referenced has ISS running on port 80 with a reverse proxy to Kibana on it's default port of 5601. What is supposed to be running on port 5602? Kibana or the proxy?

As per the link, i started setting http on 80 port. That worked fine. Since i had to make my kibana link secured, https i added a new binding with 5602 port as 5601 is the default one which kibana already uses.

Since you previously had it working on port 80, what about having Kibana provide the SSL? There are details here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/production.html#enabling-ssl](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/production.html#enabling-ssl)

I have created a PFX certificate protected with a password.

I have placed it under C:\kibana-4.4.1-windows\kibana-4.4.1-windows\certs path.

# SSL for outgoing requests from the Kibana Server (PEM formatted)

server.ssl.key: /path/to/your/server.key ???  
server.ssl.cert: /path/to/your/server.crt

What should be the value for the key here ?

I created a KEY and CRT file using OpenSSL. Now, I moved ahead and got another issue.

Is there a way to skip or provide the PEM password ?
