Why are we getting an error routing data from heavy forwarders to indexers after enabling SSL?

Hey Happy New Year Splunkers'

We want to forward data from Universal Forwarder --> Heavy Forwarder --> Indexers --> Search Head using SSL b\w HF and Indexers.
We have enabled SSL and we have an error appear "Most likely cause is the scheme or the port number is wrong".
I am not sure that do I have to put stanza of certificate path and port number in config files. And can some tell me what do I need to show up in UF configs and HF configs.

Here are the inputs and outputs config files from HF.

inputs.conf
[default]
host = xxxx

outputs.conf
[tcpout]
defaultGroup = default-autolb-group

[tcpout-server://xxx.xx.xx.x:9997]

[tcpout-server://xxx.xx.xx.x:9997]

[tcpout:default-autolb-group]
disabled = false
server = xxx.xx.xx.x,.xxx.xx.xx.x

[tcpout-server://xxx.xx.xx.x:9997]

Please suggest me if I need to change anything in these configs.

Your outputs.conf probably needs to look like this instead:

[tcpout]
defaultGroup = default-autolb-group

[tcpout:default-autolb-group]
disabled = false
server = xxx.xx.xx.x:9997,.xxx.xx.xx.x:9997

From the docs, [tcpout-server:] is for single server configuration, not for multiple like you're trying. And the server configuration in your [tcpout:<group>] needs to have :<port>, as I included in my example.
