Hello Everyone,

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.1/Security/Getthird-partycertificatesforSplunkWeb

I have followed above link to created SSL certificate. but when i executed splunk restart command got following error.

Starting splunkweb...  Generating certs for splunkweb server
Loading 'screen' into random state - done

D:\Program Files\Splunk\D:/Program files/Splunk/etc/auth/splunkweb/Splunkcert.pem: Invalid argument
Command failed (ret=1), exiting.

my web.conf file contain

[settings]
enableSplunkWebSSL = true
privKeyPath= etc/\auth/\splunkweb/\mySplunkWebPrivateKey.key
caCertPath= etc/\auth/\splunkweb/\Splunkcert.pem

Please help me on this.

Thanks in advance

The path listed as invalid looks like a mess with slashes and backslashes muddled together. Do try using Windows-style paths for your certificate files.

Check what's going wrong in your browser. Connection refused, host unknown, timeout, wrong protocol, ...?
Also check for anything suspicious in Splunk's logs.
