Hello, I am getting below error while starting ES service after enabling the TLS. I have performed below steps: 1. created a CA certificate. `bin/elasticsearch-certutil ca/` 2. Added the certificate password into keystore. `bin/elasticsearch-keystore add xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.secure_password` ```auto bin/elasticsearch-keystore add xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.secure_password` ``` Here is the elasticsearch.yml file: ```auto xpack.security.enabled: true 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 ``` Error log : ```auto Caused by: java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: /etc/elasticsearch/elastic-certificates.p12 at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.translateToIOException(UnixException.java:86) ~[?:?] at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.rethrowAsIOException(UnixException.java:102) ~[?:?] at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.rethrowAsIOException(UnixException.java:107) ~[?:?] at sun.nio.fs.UnixFileSystemProvider.newByteChannel(UnixFileSystemProvider.java:214) ~[?:?] at java.nio.file.Files.newByteChannel(Files.java:361) ~[?:1.8.0_252] at java.nio.file.Files.newByteChannel(Files.java:407) ~[?:1.8.0_252] at java.nio.file.spi.FileSystemProvider.newInputStream(FileSystemProvider.java:384) ~[?:1.8.0_252] at java.nio.file.Files.newInputStream(Files.java:152) ~[?:1.8.0_252] at org.elasticsearch.xpack.core.ssl.TrustConfig.getStore(TrustConfig.java:95) ~[?:?] at org.elasticsearch.xpack.core.ssl.StoreTrustConfig.createTrustManager(StoreTrustConfig.java:65) ~[?:?] at org.elasticsearch.xpack.core.ssl.SSLService.createSslContext(SSLService.java:427) ~[?:?] at java.util.HashMap.computeIfAbsent(HashMap.java:1127) ~[?:1.8.0_252] at org.elasticsearch.xpack.core.ssl.SSLService.loadConfiguration(SSLService.java:521) ~[?:?] at org.elasticsearch.xpack.core.ssl.SSLService.loadSSLConfigurations(SSLService.java:501) ~[?:?] at org.elasticsearch.xpack.core.ssl.SSLService.(SSLService.java:142) ~[?:?] at org.elasticsearch.xpack.core.ssl.SSLService.(SSLService.java:130) ~[?:?] at org.elasticsearch.xpack.core.XPackPlugin.createComponents(XPackPlugin.java:260) ~[?:?] at org.elasticsearch.node.Node.lambda$new$11(Node.java:478) ~[elasticsearch-7.7.0.jar:7.7.0] at java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline$7$1.accept(ReferencePipeline.java:269) ~[?:1.8.0_252] at java.util.ArrayList$ArrayListSpliterator.forEachRemaining(ArrayList.java:1382) ~[?:1.8.0_252] at java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.copyInto(AbstractPipeline.java:482) ~[?:1.8.0_252] at java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.wrapAndCopyInto(AbstractPipeline.java:472) ~[?:1.8.0_252] at java.util.stream.ReduceOps$ReduceOp.evaluateSequential(ReduceOps.java:708) ~[?:1.8.0_252] at java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.evaluate(AbstractPipeline.java:234) ~[?:1.8.0_252] at java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline.collect(ReferencePipeline.java:566) ~[?:1.8.0_252] at org.elasticsearch.node.Node.(Node.java:481) ~[elasticsearch-7.7.0.jar:7.7.0] at org.elasticsearch.node.Node.(Node.java:264) ~[elasticsearch-7.7.0.jar:7.7.0] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap$5.(Bootstrap.java:227) ~[elasticsearch-7.7.0.jar:7.7.0] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap.setup(Bootstrap.java:227) ~[elasticsearch-7.7.0.jar:7.7.0] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Bootstrap.init(Bootstrap.java:393) ~[elasticsearch-7.7.0.jar:7.7.0] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch.init(Elasticsearch.java:170) ~[elasticsearch-7.7.0.jar:7.7.0] ... 6 more ``` Certificate file is into the conf directory (/etc/elasticsearch/) Any help would be highly appreciated.
