Hey team
I wanted to use MTLS authentication to connect to Splunk API endpoint via Java SDK but can't seem to find a way to send in cacerts and other certs in authentication request. Any leads on whether it is supported or not?

See the requireClientCert setting in the sslConfig stanza in server.conf. This will require connections to the management port to present a client certificate from a CA trusted by the Splunk instance.
