Hi,

Now what I have done is generated the cert with the same password as the forwarder and now it is working fine.

Are the forwarders and indexers using the same certificate?

Hi,

Both seem to use the same certificate. Forwarders having different password and indexers having different password

If the passwords are different then the certificates probably are different, too. The certificates need to be the same on each end.
