I was setting up the Indexer Discovery feature over SSL and according to the Splunk documentation, I am supposed to put the below info to Splunk Configuration files.
For Indexer
[SSL]
serverCert = path to server certificate
password = certificate password
rootCA = path to certificate authority list
Does anyone know what the "password" option referring to? Is this the passphrase that we used for creating the certificate??
For Forwarder
sslCertPath = path to client certificate
sslPassword = CAcert password
sslRootCAPath = path to root certificate authority file
Regarding this, what is the option "sslPassword" referring to? Is it the passphrase used to create the CA certificate? I couldn't find any proper answers in Splunk documentation. Can someone please help me?
Thanks

Hi jspvkey,
Yes it's certificate password.
You insert it in clear, at the first restart you'll find it encrypted.
Bye.
