Hello,  
I want to use my own CA certificate in enrolling elastic nodes in the same cluster.  
What are the steps to follow?  
Thanks.

you create your own CA using command

/usr/share/Elasticsearch/bin/Elasticsearch-certutil cert cert --ca elastic-stack-ca.p12 --days \<#days\>

mkdir /etc/ealsticsearch/config  
move newly created certificate to that location  
cp /usr/share/Elasticsearch/elastic-stack-ca.p12 /etc/Elasticsearch/config/

make sure that certificate is own by user Elasticsearch.

add these three line in Elasticsearch.conf

```auto
xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: certificate
xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: /etc/elasticsearch/config/elastic-stack-ca.p12
xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path: /etc/elasticsearch/config/elastic-stack-ca.p12

```

and you done.  
also add same file in to all nodes you have
