I have a Docker Swarm cluster which consists of one manager and two virtual machines inside as workers. I have successfully deployed Elasticsearch with basic security and https and connected it with Kibana. However, I was not able to set https between Kibana and browser, I tried to generate the certificates in various ways: by using openssl x509, by explicitly creating elasticsearch-ca.pem and putting it inside the bound volume folder, nothing works. There is no a single error in logs in both elasticsearch and kibana, it says that Kibana was degraded and working on [https://kibana:5601](https://kibana:5601) but obviously it is not. Maybe I am doing something wrong and that is why any help would be appreciated.
