How to secure Splunk with Multi CA
we are securing the Splunk Platform with ssl, data flow TOP as following,

ufwd(subbranch)--->hfwd(subbranch)---->hfwd(global)--->indexer(global)

The subbranrch and global use different CA,

we have configured "hfwd(subbranch)---->hfwd(global)" and "hfwd(global)--->indexer(global)" with certificate issued by global CA successfully
But the "ufwd(subbranch)--->hfwd(subbranch)" needs to secure with certificate issued by subbranch CA,
we need to configure two CA on hfwd(subbranch), How to configure the CA path on hfwd(subbranch)?
