Which of the following statements accurately describes using SSL to secure the feed from a forwarder?
Using SSL to secure the feed from a forwarder automatically compresses the feed by default. Enabling SSL provides both encryption and compression, which can result in increased CPU utilization. This is a built-in feature of SSL and does not require additional configuration for compression in Splunk.
B. SSL automatically compresses the feed by default. Data Admin PDF Page 67 - Encrypts the feed - Automatically compresses the feed - Increase CPU Utilization
Agreed B. Quoting the Splunk Reference URL https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.5/Security/AboutsecuringyourSplunkconfigurationwithSSL "You can turn on SSL encryption using the default certificate to provide encryption and compression. However, communication using the default certificate does not provide secure authentication, as the certificate password is supplied with every installation of Splunk software. The default certificates are set to expire threee years after initial startup, and forwarder to indexer communications will fail at this point."
B is correct, turning on SSL automatically compresses the feed
Only B is right. Once ssl is enabled, compress is enabled by default.
Isn't the answer B?
Yup. It definelty encrypts the password. Right after a restart if I'm not mistaken
