Creating certificates for elasticSearch install via docker-compose. Gets an error 'Mac verify error: Invalid Password?' while running the command: sudo docker-compose -f create-certs.yml run --rm create\_certs

I'm creating the certificates again as faced an issue during initial setup. **Is this error of any concern for the setup?** [![Below error snapshot](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/6/16511c693043d06f1fd929afaaf9cc68093712c0.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/9jtAQ.png)

Also, when i run `openssl pkcs12 -info -in /home/elastic/es11/es11/es11.p12` and enters the password. get below error :

Enter Import Password:

MAC Iteration 10000

Please don't post pictures of text, logs or code. They are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂
