Why does VA scan identify that Splunk uses default...

Security

Hello folks,

Our Nessus scanner detects that Splunk servers are using default certificate on port 8089. Basically it tells the SSL certificate for this service is for a different host.

I have tried to update server.conf file with proper SSL certificate, but it still the same.

Have anyone come across this and have a workaround available for this issue?
