I've finally got Elastic cluster and Kibana working on Traefik + Let's Encrypt SSL.  
But now I need to setup passwords for Elastic and Kibana.

Before I decided to use Traefik, I was able to successfully setup passwords with the `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` tool.  
Now, I'm not able to setup passwords without enabling `xpack.security` and thus `xpack.security.transport.ssl.certificate_authorities`

Shouldn't Traefik handle all the SSL stuff now?  
How do I set passwords and let Traefik handle the SSL?

Should I try to point `xpack.security.transport.ssl.certificate_authorities` to Traefik's cert storage? or Should Elasticsearch have it's own internal self signed cert? Or is there better alternative?
