I am trying to configure TLS in Kibana to try out the Alerts beta feature. By following the official documentation, the bin/elasticsearch-certutil csr tool will generate a cert in PEM format, but in the same article (step 2.b) it looks like I could (somehow) generate the cert in PKCS#12 format. Also in the same article you can find the following in the 3rd paragraph:
Kibana supports certificates and private keys in PEM or PKCS#12 format
In this other thread is explained that Kibana does not supports PKCS#12 format, so I am confused now.
Does Kibana supports (or not) certs in PKCS#12 format?
If YES, please show me how to make my config simpler.
If NOT, please update official documentation and remove step 2.b or parts stating that Kibana supports PKCS#12 format, to avoid confusion.
If your certificate is not password protected, make sure to also add an empty string "" to the kibana-keystore. When prompt for a password, just leave in blank.
