The "Configure Splunk forwarding to use signed certificates" documentation states you should configure:</P> <P>sslPassword = The password for the CAcert </P> <P>Obviously your not going to put the CA's secret password on a forwarder. I assume the intention is to say you would put the forwarder's certificate password here as entered by the CA when creating the cert. I believe this is poor verbiage. </P> <P>In a related note - should you set a challenge password for this cert?</P> <P><A href="https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.5/Security/ConfigureSplunkforwardingtousesignedcertificates">https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.5/Security/ConfigureSplunkforwardingtousesignedcertificates</A></P> Fri, 19 Apr 2019 17:30:03 GMT liquidclay23 2019-04-19T17:30:03Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Configuring-Splunk-SSL-for-forwarder-indexer-communication/m-p/411975#M9844 <P>Hey Splunkers,</P> <P>This maybe less of a question and more of a comment.

That comment goes to the Splunk Documentation management team directly, so I would suggest you post your feedback there (as well).</P> Fri, 19 Apr 2019 20:30:38 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Configuring-Splunk-SSL-for-forwarder-indexer-communication/m-p/411976#M9845 somesoni2 2019-04-19T20:30:38Z
