SSL between forwarder and receiver

Hello

I want to configure SSL between forwarder and receiver .I'm following the steps given in below wiki.If you see,in step3 we are copying the server certificate to the forwarders where we need to configure SSL but the password for the certificate is given as 'sslPassword = default'

http://wiki.splunk.com/Community:Splunk2Splunk_SSL_3rdPartyCA

Does anyone know which password is this? Is it the same password that we used to create the private key earlier in step 2 or is there something called as 'default' password for forwarders?
I'm confused because in step2 it is given as "password = server_privkey_password " and step3 as default

sslPassword = <password>
 * The password associated with the CAcert.
 * The default Splunk CAcert uses the password "password".
 * There is no default value.
