Hello, I was installing elasticsearch the following is the error i get when i start elasticsearch While i was running these below commands. I did not set any password. I just hit enter and did not specify anything regarding `xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.secure_password` or `xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.secure_password` My config for xpack looks like this. `xpack.security.enabled: true` `xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true` `xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: full` `xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: certs/master.p12` `xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path: certs/master.p12` Error i get when i start elasticsearch is below `````auto ./bin/elasticsearch-keystore add x-pack.security.http.ssl.truststore.secure_password``` ````g, -Xmx1g, -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC, -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75, -XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly,

Hi @kishorerv93, Could you please paste your full config file i.e. elasticsearch.yml file here? This error usually occur when you have mentioned **x-pack** instead of **xpack** in your config file. > [@](#): > > unknown secure setting [x-pack Br, Harsh Bajaj ---
