Hi,
is it possible to install establish the trust between search peers and head via the deployment server?

The distsearch.conf can be deployed to the search head via the deployment server, but there is no straightforward way to ship the keys to a peer.

You could probably build a splunk app that distributed them, and then ran a script to install them, though it is probably easier to just make it part of the initial deployment.
