How can I enable Logstash to accept SSL traffic from Filebeat?  
In my case, I am running Logstash with IBM JRE 8. I know it works fine over Oracle JDK/ Open JDK.  
But I have a requirement to use IBM JDK, hence the ask.

Has anybody been able to achieve this?  
I did go through older posts, but the topics are closed and the suggested solutions didnt work for me. Hence posted this newly.

I can't give a complete answer, but I know that several of the dependencies are not bundled in the IBM JDK. From what I understand, IBM is aware of these (and other Elasticsearch/Lucene-related) shortcomings and has been making some headway on it.

That said, you're specifically diving into SSL things, which is very platform and library dependent.

Perhaps if you could provide the _exact_ error message you're seeing, we could be of more assistance.
