Deployment Architecture

Why is the server.conf when trying to secure 8089 port, is broken from connecting to the Deployment server?

Configured web.conf and server.conf in order to secure port 8089, which was successful but upon checking the connections to a Deployment server, it got broken. Heavy Forwarder is not connecting to the Deployment server.

web.conf:

[settings]
#Updated Splunkd Connection Timeout from 30 to 120
splunkdConnectionTimeout = 30
enableSplunkWebSSL = true
privKeyPath = etc/auth/splunk-qa/private.key.pem
caCertPath = etc/auth/splunk-qa/splunkhost.com.pem

server.conf

[sslConfig]
sslPassword = abcdefghi
enableSplunkdSSL = true
serverCert = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/auth/splunk-qa/splunkhost.com.pem
privKeyPath = $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/auth/splunk-qa/private.key.pem
sslVersions = *,-ssl2
sslVersionsForClient = *,-ssl2
cipherSuite = TLSv1+HIGH:TLSv1.2+HIGH:@STRENGTH

Please let me know if I need to make any changes. Help will be appreciated.

Some error messages from splunkd.log would be helpful.

Does splunkhost.com.pem include the certificate chain (certificate, intermediate certificate, root certificate)?

yes, it has the certificate chain

Does it also include the private key? The splunkd certificate file has a slightly different requirement from the web certificate file, in that it must also include the key.
