Splunk Phantom certificate store overview

Splunk Phantom has a certificate store used to validate certificates when forming connections to other servers. The certificates in the store are trusted certificate authority (CA) certificates from mkcert.org and are updated periodically. In almost all cases, Splunk Phantom can use its certificate store to validate any certificate issued by a commercial certificate authority (CA).

The default certificate store cannot be used to validate self-signed certificates, or certificates issued by an internal CA. You must add these custom certificates to the Splunk Phantom certificate store.

Important information about the Splunk Phantom certificate store:

• Certificates are stored in <$PHANTOM_HOME>/etc/certs/
• You add certificates to the <$PHANTOM_HOME>/etc/cacerts.pem file using the import_cert.py tool, located in <$PHANTOM_HOME>/bin/. See Add or remove certificates from the Splunk Phantom certificate store.
