 When {security-features} are enabled, you can optionally use TLS to ensure that
 communication between HTTP clients and the cluster is encrypted.
 
 NOTE: Enabling TLS on the HTTP layer is strongly recommended but is not required.
 If you enable TLS on the HTTP layer in {es}, then you might need to make
