Hello!

In my org currently, we have open SSL certs so we are going to self-signed certs or trusted certs going to install.

So now I can take this forward?

1. What are the formats(.cert/ .pem/ another) of certs required to get install on windows os?
2. What are the prerequisites?
3. How to install? where to install? need complete information.

As suggested above, Splunk docs links above are the best place for updated information for exact version you are on. But the below is very useful for SSL setup across all Splunk components, although some configurations are deprecated now and you will need to use the new config as suggested in Splunk docs for those.
