Hello everyone,

I'm trying to config SSL to indexer cluster's replication port. I have followed this link to create my SSL cert. https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/How-do-I-set-up-SSL-forwarding-with-new-self-signed-certifi...

But it wasn't working when I config on my 2 indexers. I'm using Splunk 8.2.4 version and my configuration in file server.conf of indexer 01 same like as:

[general]
serverName = indexer01
pass4SymmKey = $7$HQ2TzhHg23gLrg+/+ScnhxM9sWIunYIUH07h6YVnt48KdK+zxDO75w==

[sslConfig]
sslPassword = $7$ok1uDkFNGR57BNpNpzjg7wMPWc6uAng9lvIQPj3YX5MZwhccbVOZWw==

[replication_port-ssl://8080]
acceptFrom = IP's indexer02
rootCA = /opt/splunk/etc/certs/cacert.pem
serverCert = /opt/splunk/etc/certs/indexer.pem
sslPassword = P@ssw0rd
sslCommonNameToCheck = indexer
requireClientCert = true

So I would like to ask our community to the correct configuration when I want to enable SSL to Replication Port between Indexers Server ? Please help me 

Thanks for your concerns !
