In #84340 we adjusted the docs to show instructions on how to
retrieve TLS keystores passwords from the elasticsearch keystore
but the security-files-reference.asciidoc was not referenced in
all places where the instructions should be used. This commit
changes that and also removes references for beta versions.
In 8.0.0. we introduce TLS autoconfiguration. We store the key and
certificate materials in password protected PKCS#12 keystores and
we store these passwords in the elasticsearch keystore.
This commit adds instructions on how to get hold of the passwords
for users to inspect or alter the PKCS#12 keystores.
We (mostly I) were initially advocating for the auto-generated files to
use unique names (the name containing a timestamp particle), in order to
avoid that subsequent invocations of the config step conflict with
itself. Moreover, I was wishing that these files will not have to be
handled directly by admins (that the enrollment process was to be used).
However, experience proved us otherwise, admins have to manipulate these
files, and unique configuration names are hard to deal with in scripts
and docs, so this PR is all about using a fixed name for all the
generated files. _Labeling as a bug fix because the feedback is that it
very negatively impacts usabilty._ Closes
