@ -26,6 +26,17 @@ user, the bootstrap password is no longer active and you cannot use this command
Instead, you can change passwords by using the *Management > Users* UI in {kib}
or the <<security-api-change-password,Change Password API>>.
This command uses an HTTP connection to connect to the cluster and run the user
management requests. If your cluster uses TLS/SSL on the HTTP layer, the command
automatically attempts to establish the connection by using the HTTPS protocol.
It configures the connection by using the `xpack.security.http.ssl` settings in
the `elasticsearch.yml` file. If you do not use the default config directory
location, ensure that the *ES_PATH_CONF* environment variable returns the
correct path before you run the `setup-passwords` command. You can override
settings in your `elasticsearch.yml` file by using the `-E` command option.
For more information about debugging connection failures, see
{xpack-ref}/trb-security-setup.html[Setup-passwords command fails due to connection failure].
