I followed the instructions and deployed a new app with some stanzas to a test windows workstation server class, via deploymentclient.conf to conform to this:</P><P>[deployment-client]<BR />sslVerifyServerCert=true</P><P>caCertFile=$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/&lt;this apps name&gt;/auth/ca.pem</P><P>sslCommonNameToCheck = &lt;common name in DS cert&gt;</P><P><BR />My question is how can I confirm it is connecting securely? Most of the documentation I find describes securing the indexers to forwarders, but not the deployment server to client/forwarder connection.</P> Thu, 11 Aug 2022 19:40:00 GMT ravida 2022-08-11T19:40:00Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/How-to-verify-a-secure-connection-between-the-deployment-server/m-p/609212#M16279 <P>Hi folks,</P><P>I have recently been testing out how to ensure the connection between my deployment server and the universal forwarders is secure.
