Hey have you worked through the installation guide of x-pack [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/installing-xpack-es.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/installing-xpack-es.html) especially the part about [setup-passwords](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/setup-passwords.html) --Alex ---

> [@John\_saida](#): > > It placed by default ... elastic-stack-ca.p12 in bin. `certutil` places the file in the current directory, if it placed it in `bin` it's because you ran it from `bin`. The [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/configuring-tls.html#node-certificates) states: > #### Copy the node certificate to the appropriate locations > > Copy the applicable .p12 file into a directory within the Elasticsearch configuration directory on each node. ... > There is no need to copy the CA file to this directory. You need to put the `elastic-certificates.p12` file into your `config/` directory. Elasticsearch will refuse to read files that are outside of the expected directories (this is a security protection). You do not need to put the "elastic-stack-ca.p12" anywhere. You _might_ want to keep it so that you can generate additional node certificates in the future, but elasticsearch does not need a copy of it. > [@](#): > > ```auto > xpacksecurity.transport.ss.verification_mode:certified > > ``` "certified" is incorrect, it must be "certificate". From the docs referenced above: ```auto xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: certificate ``` > [@](#): > > ```auto > No Log4j2 configuration file found. > > ``` This is a problem, but seems to be unrelated. Can you post the exact error message please. > [@](#): > > ```auto > Sytem Expception failed load setting from the elasticsearch.yml > > ``` Please copy-and-paste the exact message you received. ---
