Hello,

could someone explain the purpose of this setting, does it serve tcp-ssl inputs.conf for instance AND/OR securing internal Splunk 8089 port in server.conf?

sslRootCAPath = /etc/ssl/my-certs/RootCA.pem

 

on the other side :

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.4/Security/Securingyourdeploymentserverandclients

sslRootCAPath = <full path to the operating system root CA certificate>

 

Thanks.
