Hi, I have a three-node cluster version 716.2 and I want to upgrade it to 7.17.7. in my current cluster, TLS setting is activated by following:

```auto
xpack.security.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: certificate 
xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: elastic-certificates.p12 
xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path: elastic-certificates.p12
xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled: true
xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore.path: http.p12

```

in the case of upgrading in this [link] ([Rolling upgrades | Elasticsearch Guide [7.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/rolling-upgrades.html)), it is said that we should copy old config folder data to the new elasticsearch config file. it means we should also copy lastic-certificates.p12 , http.p12 ,role\_mapping, role.yml, users, users\_roles , ... files. Is it true?  
Also, when we were installing elasticsearch 7.16.2, we use below commands to set keystore password, Is it needed to do them again in the new version?

> elasticsearch-keystore add xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.secure\_password  
> elasticsearch-keystore add xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.secure\_password  
> elasticsearch-keystore add xpack.security.http.ssl.keystore.secure\_password

I will be so appreciated of your helpful guide  
Regards

Hi  
first I installed elasticsearch 7.16.2 in three windows servers and config the elasticsearch.yml to create the desired cluster as below

> cluster.name  
> node.name  
> network.host  
> discovery.seed\_hosts  
> cluster.initial\_master\_nodes

then I started the nodes and cluster state was green.  
at the next step I created the certificate base on [link](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.16/security-basic-setup.html) and then I start the cluster and every thing was ok.  
at the next step I did the steps of [link](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.16/security-basic-setup-https.html) to setup https.

Ok you used the zip.

In that case;

Yes you need to do that.
