Hello there. After updating from 9.3.1 to 9.4.1 my KVstore stoped working. During quick investigation I found the following errors:

2025-03-19T14:35:15.556Z I  NETWORK  [listener] connection accepted from 127.0.0.1:41888 #1188 (1 connection now open)
 2025-03-19T14:35:15.566Z E  NETWORK  [conn1188] SSL peer certificate validation failed: unable to get issuer certificate
 2025-03-19T14:35:15.566Z I  NETWORK  [conn1188] Error receiving request from client: SSLHandshakeFailed: SSL peer certificate validation failed: unable to get issuer certificate. Ending connection from 127.0.0.1:41888 (connection id: 1188)

openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:8191 -showcerts 
gives me valid certificate info. Any idea why I receive this errors? Thx

I think the easiest way is to use default certificates for KV store.
