How to get TLS certificate to secure communication between forwarder and indexers?

We have to update the certificates for secure communication between UF, HF and indexer.

The way to prepare a combined cert is a bit confusing. I have updated an output.conf file for forwarder with a combined cert in sslCertPath and Root certificate in sslRootCAPath.

[tcpout-server://xxxx]

sslCerthPath = xxx/xxx/combined_cert.pem

sslRootCAPath = xxx/xxx/rootcert.pem

sslPassword = xxxx

 

Is this the right way to do it?

 

the combined cert file consists of server cert, encrypted key and root cert.
