Hello,

Following this instruction:

> **[Set up basic security for the Elastic Stack plus secured HTTPS traffic |...](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/security-basic-setup-https.html)**

I should be able to run command /bin/Elasticsearch-certutil **http** but it says, that only 3 commands are available:

```auto
adam@ubuntu1:/etc/elasticsearch$ sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-certutil http
Simplifies certificate creation for use with the Elastic Stack

Commands
--------
csr - generate certificate signing requests
cert - generate X.509 certificates and keys
ca - generate a new local certificate authority

Non-option arguments:
command

Option Description
------ -----------
-h, --help show help
-s, --silent show minimal output
-v, --verbose show verbose output
ERROR: Unknown command [http]

```

The same in [elasticsearch-certutil | Elasticsearch Guide [7.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/certutil.html)

Anyone knows which command must I run to achieve the goal from instruction from above link (encryption of http connection)?

Ok I see I'm using old version 6.8 Elasticsearch and there is no command for Elasticsearch-certutil http. I made mistake, beacuse before I was using docker image 7.17 and now I moved to server-based one and I assumed i downloaded the same version but not 😃 . Sorry for that
