Turn on HTTPS encryption for Splunk Web with Splunk Web
You can use Splunk Web to enable HTTPS encryption for browser to Splunk Web communication. Splunk Web can use HTTPS or HTTP for communication with your browser, but not both.
You can turn on default encryption in Splunk Web using the default certificates that come with the installation, but this does not represent a high level of security, since every installation provides those certificates. To properly secure communications, use your own certificates and configure authentication. See Configure Splunk Web to use TLS certificates for information about replacing the default certificates with your own.
- In Splunk Web, select Settings > System > Server settings, and then click General Settings.
- Under Splunk Web, for Enable SSL (HTTPS) in Splunk Web?, select the Yes radio button.
- Restart Splunk Web. See Restart Splunk Enterprise from Splunk Web for the procedure.
- After Splunk Web restarts, to access Splunk Web on that instance, use "https://<your site name>:<port>" for the URL.
