@Badger @ptambam  
I managed to create an authorization with @badger's different answer  
[here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-pass-basic-authentication-details-in-http-filter-plugin/201246/6)

My config is now

> output  
> {  
> http  
> {  
> format=\>"json"  
> http\_method=\>"post"  
> url=\>"[https://zenossprod.lsk12.com/zport/dmd/evconsole\_router](https://zenossprod.lsk12.com/zport/dmd/evconsole_router)"  
> cacert =\> "/opt/cert/cert.crt"  
> headers =\> {  
> "Authorization" =\> "Basic RUxLOldlbGNvbWUxMjMgaHR0cHMbWQvZXZjb25zb2xlX3JvdXRlcg=="  
> }  
> }  
> stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
> }

But I'm still getting the certificate error,  
message=\>"PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target",

I also tried with pem and cer type certificates. None of it works,

Please help me resolve it.
