Configure X-Pack.Security on ELK V6.2.4

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
3

It's hard to give you specific advice without understanding your configuration, but the general cause of the problem is this:

  • You have configured a truststore (or perhaps keystore, but from the error message, I think it's more likely to be a truststore) somewhere in your elasticsearch.yml
  • You pust the password for that truststore into the elasticsearch keystore with the elasticsearch-keystore tool

In the version you are running (6.2), the setup-passwords tool is unable to read SSL passwords from the elasticsearch keystore. It needs them to be in the elasticsearch.yml file.
