Has anyone tried uploading self-signed tls certs on ECE deployments? We are trying to use self signed certificates on our internal deployment.

Continuing the discussion from [ECE 2.0.1 Unable to upload Letsencrypt TLS certificate](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/ece-2-0-1-unable-to-upload-letsencrypt-tls-certificate/158802):

I believe all our testing for the cert uploads was performed using self-signed certs so it should work. We also definitely have some customers with deployments that are TLS-protected and not connected to the internet. The linked LetsEncrypt thread essentially describes how to do it, since the CA cert at the top of that chain is self-signed.

Thanks Alex,

Can you please confirm the files need to concat? Just want to make sure I am not doing anything wrong.

I don't have any insight that isn't documented in the [ECE docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current/ece-manage-certificates.html) or [ECE 2.0.1 Unable to upload Letsencrypt TLS certificate](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/ece-2-0-1-unable-to-upload-letsencrypt-tls-certificate/158802)

If you run into issues then you can post them here or potentially open a support ticket (if I can't answer I can loop in people with more expertise at debugging these!)
