Implementing SSL elastic 6.1.1 / X-PACK

[JCLHN]

Hi everybody,

I am trying to implement the SSL transport layer between the nodes, but I can't start elastic after modifying the elastic.yml. Does anyone already try to implement that ?

FYI, I don't use certutil tool, the certificates are provided from my company.

Error Message:

The error does not seem related to your certs, rather for trying to load the x-pack plugin.

thanks for the feedback.

The problem comes from an incompatibility between my certificates and X-pack.

I try an another method using a "JKS" and it works fine now
