Unsecure Splunk Browser

Hi Splunkers,

I am new to handling certificates but it seems to be the resolution that I need to resolve the unsecure browser issue when accessing my Splunk UI.

We have been given a certificate in .cer generated from a csr in which we listed the DNS of our Splunk instance.

Now I understand that we can generate a .pem out of this .cer but I am unclear as to the private key to use based on the parameters that we need to set in web.conf

[settings]
enableSplunkWebSSL = true
privKeyPath = <.key here>
serverCert = /home/user/certs/mycacert.pem

Reference: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.5/Admin/Webconf

Would anyone be able to provide direction on this please?

Thanks a lot.

Cheers!

And what is the question?

As you generated CSR, you should have already generated a key for which you were creating the CSR so you must have it somewhere. Otherwise the cert you got is useless because it is paired to your private key.
