Hello

I am new to elastic, and trying to use ansible playbook to install set it up  
I was able to setup a test cluster without any issue, and now I want to secure using X-Pack security SSL/TLS setup as identified [ansible-elasticsearch/ssl-tls-setup.md at main · elastic/ansible-elasticsearch · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/ansible-elasticsearch/blob/main/docs/ssl-tls-setup.md)

So I updated roles/ansible-elasticseach/defaults/main.yml and updated  
es\_ssl\_keystore=es\_ssl\_truststore=files/certs/mykey.p12  
es\_ssl\_truststore\_password=es\_ssl\_keystore\_password=  
my p12 has key and cert signed by my CA.  
i set  
es\_enable\_auto\_ssl\_confoguration to false  
es\_enable\_http\_ssl true  
es\_enable\_transport\_ssl true  
Then i added my mykey.p12 file to  
roles/ansible-Elasticsearch/files/certs/mykey.p12  
files/certs/mykey.p12

however when I run update-es.sh to run Elasticsearch.yml playbook, everything works but i don't see the necessary configuration in Elasticsearch.yml on the node.

What I am missing?

Thanks
