Opensearch certificate

Versions (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):

Describe the issue:

Hello community, I am trying to configure OpenSearch with LDAPS. I have exported the certificate from the Active Directory and then converted it to PEM using the command openssl x509 -inform DER -in ldaps_cert.cer -out ldaps_cert.pem . Afterwards, I added it to the opensearch.yml file as shown in the configuration below:

Configuration:

ash-4.2# cat opensearch.yml

cluster.name: docker-cluster

Bind to all interfaces because we don’t know what IP address Docker will assign to us.

network.host: 0.0.0.0

# minimum_master_nodes need to be explicitly set when bound on a public IP

# set to 1 to allow single node clusters

discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 1

Setting network.host to a non-loopback address enables the annoying bootstrap checks. “Single-node” mode disables them again.

discovery.type: single-node
