Hello,

Am following the below doc to install SSL certificates on Splunk web.
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.8/Security/SecureSplunkWebusingasignedcertificate

So, what is the issue for below settings?

when i use the web.conf below settings, the web console is in up.
[settings]
enableSplunkWebSSL = 0

when I use the web.conf below settings, the web console is not in up.
[settings]
startwebserver = 1
enableSplunkWebSSL = true
privKeyPath = D:\Splunk\etc\auth\MyOrg\privatekey.key
serverCert = D:\Splunk\etc\auth\MyOrg\xxxxxxxxx.pem

So, here i have already .pem format cert is available so I just renamed with .key format cert for privatekey.key. So is this right way to get privatekey like this. is this works with installing the SSL certs.
