Hi,

I'm new to Elasticsearch. I couldn't find an existing post. I'm trying to setup ssl over http. I have a .p12 file that is trusted over our network. I set:

```auto
xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled: true
xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore.path: myKey.p12

```

I then ran:

```auto

./bin/elasticsearch-keystore add xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore.secure_password

```

When I start Elasticsearch I get the following error:

[2022-01-19T16:37:16,560][WARN][stderr] [node-1] ElasticsearchSecurityException[failed to load SSL configuration [xpack.security.http.ssl]]; nested: ElasticsearchException[failed to initialize SSL TrustManager]; nested: IOException[keystore password was incorrect]; nested: UnrecoverableKeyException[failed to decrypt safe contents entry: javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Given final block not properly padded. Such issues can arise if a bad key is used during decryption.];  
[2022-01-19T16:37:16,560][WARN][stderr] [node-1] Likely root cause: java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: failed to decrypt safe contents entry: javax.crypto.BadPaddingException: Given final block not properly padded. Such issues can arise if a bad key is used during decryption.

Elasticsearch is installed on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Is there anything else I need to set in the yaml file? Can this be an issue with Windows Server 2012 R2? The cert is using AES128 so I though it would be fine on Windows Server 2012 R2.

Thanks in advance.

Jason
