Does Splunk support 3rd party certificates without passwords?

[responsys_cm]

I have a customer with an internal CA. The private key generated for each host does not have a password. Does Splunk support this? If I leave sslPassword blank, it'll pickup the value from /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/server.conf (which is "password").

Can I just use "sslPassword =" in my server.conf? Will Splunk come up with some kind of encrypted value for a null password?

Thx.

From our Splunk SE: no. The server certs require a password on the private key.
