Hi,  
I am trying to set a cluster with tls tcp transport with no success.(the nodes in the cluster communicate succesfully with tcp transport(I am new to the X509 certificates)  
I found the following link: [Generating X.509 Certificates · SSL Config](https://lightbend.github.io/ssl-config/CertificateGeneration.html#using-keytool)  
but I still cant seem to get it running.  
1)Do i need to follow every step for the certificate Generation?  
2)How can i disable mutual authentication?

I am trying to set it up firstly in localhost (127.0.0.1)  
bellow are the settings of the application for the remote artery part:  
akka.remote.artery {  
transport = tls-tcp

ssl.config-ssl-engine {  
key-store = “mykeystore.jks”  
trust-store = “mytruststore.jks”

```
 key-store-password = 123456
 key-password = 123456
 trust-store-password = 123456

 protocol = "TLSv1.2"

 enabled-algorithms = [TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256]

```

}  
}  
any help is appreciated  
Thanks in advance
