"Seems you use a node certificate which is also an admin certificate" - Error when running security script

Opensearch Version 2.4.1 / Rocky 8.5

When I run the security script I get the error:
“Seems you use a node certificate which is also an admin certificate”

I understand that this error is being generated because I am using my node certificate as the admin certificate.

But it’s not clear how to resolve this, I am not using self-signed certificates for my node certificates, they are signed by a CA. So I only have the node certificates and nothing else - so what am I supposed to use as an admin certificate?
I thought perhaps I need to create self signed admin certificates, but it doesn’t seem like this would work alongside my node certificates as the documentation states that both types should be signed by the same CA.

Any help or pointers here would be appreciated

@jaboo Take a look at this post.
