Hi everybody,
I would like to set up kibana to be reachable via https, but I can't figure how
In documentation I only found how to set elastic search to work in https
What about kibana? is it possible? google is not helping this time 🙂
thanks!

Hi Michele, take a look at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/production.html#enabling-ssl](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/production.html#enabling-ssl) and let me know if it helps.
Thanks,
CJ

I found that, but it always talks about https on elastic and kibana calling elastic on https ☹ nothing about kibana itself on https (i.e. `https://my.kibana.url:5601` )

Hi Michele,
Under the "Enabling SSL" section, there are steps for configuring SSL (so you can load Kibana via https):
> To encrypt communications between the browser and the Kibana server, you configure the ssl\_key\_file and ssl\_cert\_file properties in kibana.yml...
This means that you can load Kibana via https in your browser. Have you tried setting this configuration in your kibana.yml file? If you want to test it out, you can try using the dev certs: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/test/dev\_certs](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/test/dev_certs)
Thanks,
CJ

Hi, all!
i got a problem with kibana 5 and https.
i succesfully setup [https://kibana.url:5601](https://kibana.url:5601) but i can't set port 443 for [https://kibana.url](https://kibana.url)
if i setup "server.port:" in kibana.yml to 443 i get error
443 no used by other software
if i setup "server.port:" in kibana.yml to 5602, for example, - all ok
## setcap CAP\_NET\_BIND\_SERVICE=+eip /usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana not help for me
