Hi Team, when I try to start Elasticsearch service after enabling TLS I am getting below error:  
[2023-06-30T07:01:11,903][ERROR][o.e.b.Elasticsearch] [ip-10-0-8-194] fatal exception while booting Elasticsearch  
org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchSecurityException: failed to load SSL configuration [xpack.security.transport.ssl] - cannot read configured [PKCS12] keystore (as a truststore) [/home/ubuntu/base-applications/elasticsearch-8.7.1/config/certs/transport.p12] - this is usually caused by an incorrect password; (a keystore password was provided)

Hi @Nupur_Srivastava1,

Welcome to the community! It looks like Elasticsearch cannot access the keystore you have specified in your configuration. Can you check your store configuration, including the password to ensure they are correct?
