Does splunk support 2048 bit certification for SplunkWeb SSL use?

Hi there,

I have asked to use SplunkWeb with 2048bit SSL certificate.

Access to SplunkWeb with default certification worked, but it did not work with 2048bit certification.

Does splunk support 2048 bit certification for SplunkWeb SSL use? If so, should I take the certification concatenation step shown in the following splunk answer?

Thanks!

Given that the underlying SSL implementation for Splunk is OpenSSL, there's no reason why it should not support a 2048 bit RSA key within a certificate.

For installing the intermediate certificates, this answer may be helpful as well: http://answers.splunk.com/questions/5470/how-do-i-define-an-intermediate-certificate-authority-for-s...

You can always edit your question to provide additional details, such as what you have configured where, and what errors/messages you get with it.

Splunk supports all key sizes and cert sizes that OpenSSL supports.
