Hi. Trying to get Kibana accessible via HTTPS but it's not working. I have a Platinum license.
I have certs configured on my ES nodes and they are communicating via SSL.
When I try to enable the HTTPS config in Kibana my /var/log/messages file gets filled up with these error messages:
```

```
Then it just goes into a loop...
Extract of my /etc/kibana/kibana.yml with the x-pack part:
> xpack.security.encryptionKey: "1234563872093741209384876237890123"
> xpack.security.sessionTimeout: 600000
> xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled: true
> xpack.security.http.ssl.key: /etc/kibana/kibana1.key
> xpack.security.http.ssl.certificate: /etc/kibana/kibana1.pem
> xpack.security.http.ssl.certificate\_authorities: ["/etc/kibana/elastic\_ca.pem"]

Please reach the support team. That might be the best way to move forward.

It looks like you are trying to use Elasticsearch settings in your Kibana config.
`xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled` is part of X-Pack for Elasticsearch, not Kibana.
The instructions for enabling SSL in Kibana are here

Ahh yes.
Fixed and now it's working!
I can login with https:/kibana1:5601.
This is an extract of my kibana.yml file:
elasticsearch.username: "kibana"
elasticsearch.password: "blah\_+blah"
server.ssl.enabled: true
server.ssl.key: /etc/kibana/kibana1.key
server.ssl.certificate: /etc/kibana/kibana1.pem
