Enable HTTPS

You can edit web.conf and server.conf to enable HTTPS.


Please note: Your Splunk server can listen on either HTTP or HTTPS. It cannot listen on both.


You can also enable SSL through separate configurations.


Important: If you are using Firefox 3, enabling SSL for a Splunk deployment may result in an "invalid security exception" being displayed in the browser. Refer to this workaround documentation for more information.


configuration

In order to enable HTTPS you will need to modify your $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/bundles/local/web.conf to 


[settings]
httpport = <port number>

Set the port number to your HTTPS port.


You will also need to modify your $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/bundles/local/server.conf to 


[sslConfig]
enableSplunkSearchSSL = true

Set this key to true to enable SSL for SplunkSearch.


Once you have made the changes to web.conf and server.conf restart your Splunk server to read the new changes in.
