Kibana throws error while connecting to elastic nodes after enabling SSL/https on elastic nodes

The only difference I see is that the documentation mentions providing the certificate in pem format for the parameter "elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities" but the certutil tool creates the cert in P12 format which is what we have provided in our configurations.

This is the cause of you problem. That kibana setting requires a PEM formatted certificte. You cannot use a PKCS#12 certificate.
