Hi, I have recently added Fleet Server to my stack, but I am having problems with my SSL Certificates (\*Wild Card Certs). I have been able to successfully to integrate new certificates for both Transport and HTTP, but I keep getting this error on my fleet server elastic-agents.

\*\*[elastic\_agent][error] failed to dispatch actions, error: could not parse the configuration from the policy: duplicate key accessing 'ssl.certificate\_authorities'

\*\* **[elastic\_agent][error] Elastic Agent status changed to "error": "component gateway-a757d5f3: failed to dispatch actions, error: could not parse the configuration from the policy: duplicate key accessing 'ssl.certificate\_authorities'"**

For my certificate authority I have concatenated both my intermediate and root certificates to make up my Certificate Authority. Is this why I am receiving this error, has anyone experienced similar issue?

command used  
cat intermediate root \> elasticsearch.ca.crt

Update  
When converting certificates to PKCS12 format I had placed the concatenated certificate authority displayed above. Which is why I thought I was getting that duplicate key error. Since replacing that concatenated file with just the intermediate without the root certificate I am now getting this error.

[elastic\_agent][error] Elastic Agent status changed to "error": "app fleet-server--8.4.1-2a05c43d: Error - x509: certificate signed by unknown authority"

I think this is what led me to concatenate the file in the first place.
