Hi Everyone, We're in the process of updating the SSL certificates on our Splunk servers. However, when attempting the upgrade, we encounter the following error: "Cannot decrypt private key in "/opt/splunk/etc/apps/*/local/Splunk.key" without a password. Network communication with splunkweb may fail or hang. Consider using an unencrypted private key for Splunkweb's SSL certificate." Could anyone provide assistance with this issue? Below are the steps we followed while generating the certificate. Please let us know if you spot any mistakes. We're running Splunk 9.0.0. ## Go to /root/certs/ cd /root/certs/ ## Create new directory for the certs mdkir certs_2024 ## Create Server Key openssl genrsa -des3 -out splunk.key 2048 password123###### password123###### ## Create a No Pass Key openssl rsa -in splunk.key -out splunk.nopass.key enter passphrase - <<<password>>> ## Generate the csr file openssl req -new -sha256 -key splunk.nopass.key -out splunk.csr  once we get the certificate, we are running the below steps.  vi end_entity_cert <<paste the end_entity_cert value for the hostname and save>> vi intermediate_cert <<paste the intermediate_cert value for the hostname and save>> cp splunk.nopass.key /opt/splunk/etc/apps/App_hostname_ssl/local Go to certificates folder - cd /home/Splunk/certs_renewal/ Copy the rootCA.pem into /opt/splunk/etc/apps/App_hostname_ssl/local ## Create Certificate Chain cat end_entity_cert splunk.key intermediate_cert rootCA.pem >>full.pem ## Verify Certificate Validity openssl x509 -enddate -noout -in full.pem ./splunk restart
