Briefly, this error occurs when the Elasticsearch PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) Realm is configured to use Certificate Authorities (CAs) that are not recognized or accepted by the system. This could be due to incorrect configuration or the use of self-signed certificates. To resolve this issue, you can either update the PKI Realm configuration to use a recognized CA, or if you’re using self-signed certificates, ensure they are properly imported and trusted by the system.
