Is there any way to renew the http.p12 certificate. I find there is a share [Renew auto generated http certificates](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/renew-auto-generated-http-certificates/362929)  
However, I only got http\_ca.crt. No http\_ca.p12. I am running elasticsearch version 8.12.0.  
Any recommendation

Did you follow the standard instructions from the documentation here [Different CA | Elastic Docs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/security/different-ca#node-certs-different-http)?  
That should directly output an p12 file with everything in it you need.

Alternativly you could use the java keytool, that comes with every java, to build that yourself (the following is only an example and may not work exactly):

```auto
keytool -storepass ' ***' -import -alias es-ca -file*** /http_ca.crt -keystore ***/http_ca.p12 -deststoretype PKCS12

```
