Elasticsearch user creation fails

[nandatibco (Nandakishor)]

Hello team,
When I try to create user with below command getting below error in ES version:7.17.0, please help....

./elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive -u "https://test.com:9085"

But following settings are in elasticsearch.yml

xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: certificate
xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: elastic-certificates.p12
xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path: elastic-certificates.p12

xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled: true
xpack.security.http.ssl.verification_mode: certificate
xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore.path: elastic-certificates.p12
xpack.security.http.ssl.truststore.path: elastic-certificates.p12
xpack.security.http.ssl.client_authentication: optional

Error:

15:57:19.799 [main] CRITICAL org.elasticsearch.deprecation.xpack.core.ssl.SSLService - invalid configuration for xpack.security.transport.ssl - [xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled] is not set, but the following settings have been configured in elasticsearch.yml : [xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.secure_password,xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.secure_password]

@nandatibco

setup

Seems like you have not set https SSL certificate in config. check that

I have also faced similar issue on during installation of new instance with SSL on first startup(for http endpoint 9200).
I have removed SSL and then able to set passwords. Once done, enabled SSL.

Hi Chandrakanth,
Thanks for the reply...
Tired with changing:
xpack.security.enabled:false
and
xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled:false
Now I'm facing different error:
./Elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive -u " http://test.com:9085"

Any clue, why I'm getting this error?
Thanks in advance...
