And I have another guess what can cause it (if I am not right about that this code does not read from the keystore).

With docker (in my case kubernetes) I keep only data folder as stateful. Also I add the keys into keystore after my ES is already started. So there are two issues:

1. Looking on [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/26589](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/26589) - seems like these settings should be set before you start ES.
2. Because of Docker environments - keystore is stored near elasticsearch.yml file, which means that I do not keep it between restarts.

As a workaround I assume I can use `es.allow_insecure_settings` and use old way, but it does not seems like a documented flag, not sure where I can set it.
