@JasonStoltz @orhantoy finally I was able resolve this issue.

The reason for the issue was nginx reverse proxy, I moved the both elasticsearch and app search to same machine and connected app-search to elasticsearch directly, `https://localhost:9200`

This configuration worked:

```auto
elasticsearch.host: " https://127.0.0.1:9200"
elasticsearch.ssl.enabled: true
elasticsearch.ssl.certificate_authority: "{{ ssl_certs_dir_path }}/ca.crt"
elasticsearch.ssl.verify: true

```

I think the bug here is, when using `elasticsearch.ssl.verfiy= false` , app search was still verifying server public certificate using default trust store of java. I made `elasticsearch.ssl.verfiy= true` pointing to the CA and it worked; I described the issue here: [App search not able to connect to elasticsearch directly over https](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/app-search-not-able-to-connect-to-elasticsearch-directly-over-https/224070).

I spent lot of time on this, @orhantoy @JasonStoltz thanks for your help.
