Hello I am trying to use shield with elastic 2.2.0 I installed shield/license plugins setup new user and I was able to search elastic, I wanted to setup SSL/TLS I followed instruction provided here : [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/2.2/ssl-tls.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/2.2/ssl-tls.html) I created self signed certificate [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/2.2/certificate-authority.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/2.2/certificate-authority.html) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/5/525d3931ec6cc0eb6b240108c6fd28287d7d4b5d.png) added options to elasticsearch.yaml ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/5/507bf4a1b5db3317f4316c83155f3769e35890cb.png) after restarting elasticsearach I see errors in log file [2016-06-02 08:52:58,733][ERROR][shield.transport.netty] [Tremolo] SSL/TLS handshake failed, closing channel: General SSLEngine problem ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/7/76e3cbfce41fc2e708a54a09a70fcd2da8457aea.png) passwords are correct I tried to do keytool list and password was correct Not sure what I am missing, is it generating certificate or elasticsearch.yml configuration ---

I got it work in the end my problem was elasticsearch.yml configuration haven't set up network config properly elastic was publishing localhost address and in my cert I provided local ip of my virtual machine (192.168.21.108) I added to config/elastsicsearch.yml network.bind\_host: 192.168.21.108 network.publish\_host: 192.168.21.108 ---
