> [@Akarshan](#): > > C:/Users/mi/Documents/open\_searh/ Wild shot: do you have a typo here in the path name? If not, are you sure this is how paths should be written? You can double-check by disabling security and setting data paths. You may need to say something like `c:\\Users\\mi\\Documents...` can you try that? ---

@Akarshan All the certificate/keystore files should be placed in the config folder of the unzipped OpenSearch folder or its subfolder. The default path points to the config folder so you don’t have to use the absolute path. Try copying the files into the config folder and use only file names in the opensearch.yml. i.e. ```auto opensearch.security.ssl.transport.enabled: true opensearch.security.ssl.transport.keystore_filepath: transport-keystore.jks opensearch.security.ssl.transport.truststore_filepath: transport-truststore.jks opensearch.security.ssl.transport.keystore_password: akarshan opensearch.security.ssl.transport.truststore_password: akarshan opensearch.security.ssl.transport.keystore_type: JKS opensearch.security.ssl.transport.truststore_type: JKS opensearch.security.ssl.transport.enforce_hostname_verification: false ``` Also, the format `C:/path/to/config/folder` is correct. ---
