I'm trying to install Elasticsearch, but the script is failing. I'm using Windows 11 Enterprise. - Downloaded the installer (elasticsearch-8.17.1-windows-x86\_64.zip) from [Download Elasticsearch | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch) - Unzip the zip file - I did not change anything in "elasticsearch.yml" - Run .\bin\elasticsearch.bat in non-admin command prompt - I get the error below. I'm expecting to see password, certificate fingerprint, and enrollment token without an error. Any idea why the script is not working? ```auto C:\Users\a000112>cd c:/dev/elasticsearch c:\dev\elasticsearch>.\bin\elasticsearch.bat CompileCommand: dontinline

Welcome! Elasticsearch is up and running but I think you are trying to connect using http instead of https. ---

Thank you so much for your reply! This instruction ([Install Elasticsearch with .zip on Windows | Elasticsearch Guide [8.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/zip-windows.html)) says " The password for the `elastic` user and the enrollment token for Kibana are output to your terminal.". I'm not seeing any password or enrollment token on the terminal. How am I supposed to get the password, fingerprint, and enrollment token if they are not displayed on the terminal? Also, I'm not trying to connect to Elasticsearch. All I did was to run the "elasticsearch.bat" script. Do you think something is trying to connect to Elasticsearch using http without me knowing? Is there a way to find out what is trying to connect? ---

> [@ktotsuka](#): > > " The password for the `elastic` user and the enrollment token for Kibana are output to your terminal.". What I would suggest is clean up the whole directory... unzip again ... run again... be patient it can take a while... (perhaps stopped it prematurely last time / first time) ---

I got it to work! Here is the summary. - When running "elasticsearch.bat", no password or enrollment token is displayed. Below is how I regenerated them. - When you see this error below, the Elasticsearch is probably running fine, and something is trying to connect to Elasticsearch using incorrect connection setting ```auto caught exception while handling client http traffic, closing connection Netty4HttpChannel{localAddress=/127.0.0.1:9200, remoteAddress=/127.0.0.1:53413}io.netty.handler.codec.DecoderException: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: (unknown_ca) Received fatal alert: unknown_ca ``` By regenerating the password and enrollment token, I was able to set up Elasticsearch along with Kibana. It turned out that there was a software (my software of course) that was trying to talk to Elasticsearch with incorrect connection setting. After updating the connection setting, my software can now talk to Elasticsearch and see the log in Kibana. Thank you so much for your help! ---
