Hi all,

I am using elasticsearch, kibana, logstash and xpack of 5.1.1 version. I enabled ssl following below two links  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/kibana.html#configure-kibana-ssl](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/kibana.html#configure-kibana-ssl)  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/ssl-tls.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/ssl-tls.html)

We are able to login in elasticsearch but kibana windows is not loading. It says "This site cant provide a secure connection and sent an invalid response.".

I generated cert files using certgen tool and changed following parameters in the kibana.yml  
elasticsearch.url: "[https://ip:9200](https://ip:9200)"  
server.ssl.cert: /etc/elasticsearch/x-pack/mmlctl1/mmlctl1.crt  
server.ssl.key: /etc/elasticsearch/x-pack/mmlctl1/mmlctl1.key  
[elasticsearch.ssl.ca](http://elasticsearch.ssl.ca): ["/etc/elasticsearch/x-pack/ca/ca.crt"]  
Then i restarted kibana and ran [https://ip:5601](https://ip:5601). It is failing with above error message  
Please let me know what else should i need to change.

Are there any errors shown in the Kibana logs? Also, you should have different certificates for Kibana and Elasticsearch.

There are no errors shown in kibana logs. Different certificates for kibana and elasticsearch means do we need to generate twice for the same machine using certgen
