The following SPL-141364 + enhancement ENH-6274 have been logged to standardise the CA params across Windows and Linux and fix documentation in terms of DEPRECATED params.
caCertFile works on Windows not (sslRootCAPath which is used on Linux platforms)
I have provided an working example configuration below.
[sslConfig]
requireClientCert = false
sslCommonNameToCheck = splunk
sslVerifyServerCert = true
serverCert = C:\Users\Administrator\myNewServerCertificate.pem
sslPassword = $##########
sslVersions = tls, -tls1.0
caCertFile = C:\Users\Administrator\myCACertificate.pem
**inputs.conf
[splunktcp-ssl:9997]
sslPassword = $##########
serverCert = C:\Users\Administrator\myNewServerCertificate.pem
sslVersions = tls, -tls1.0
**outputs.conf
[tcpout]
defaultGroup = default-autolb-group
[tcpout-server://10.nn.1.nnn:9997]
[tcpout:default-autolb-group]
disabled = false
server = 10.xx.1.yyy:9997
sslPassword = $##########
sslCommonNameToCheck = splunk
sslVerifyServerCert = true
clientCert = C:\Users\Administrator\myNewServerCertificate.pem
sslVersions = tls, -tls1.0
caCertFile = C:\Users\Administrator\myCACertificate.pem
