Having trouble with using certificates

[Charlython]

Hi there! 

I've been using Splunk for a while and now i want  to use certificates to making it more secure.

The problem comes when, afteer following the documentation, splunk web doesn't  starts.

My pem certificate has 2 certificates inside and a private key, and I also tried using the private key in a .key file and the certificates together in the pem and it neither works.

Any advice or solution?

Thank you!

Make sure your Splunk user has the proper permissions to read the certs.

web.conf

enableSplunkWebSSL = 1

privKeyPath = /opt/splunk/etc/auth/mycert.key

serverCert = /opt/splunk/etc/auth/mycert.pem

Depending on the method you used, you must combine the server certificate, the private key, and the public certificate, in that order, into a single file. The combined file must be in privacy-enhanced mail (PEM) format.

cat <server certificate file> <server private key file> <certificate authority certificate file> > <combined server certificate file>
