Splunk on Ubuntu: Ingestion Endpoint Authentication

Team,

we have set up a splunk cluster using the following template:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/splunk-on-ubuntu

But we were into issues when trying to authenticate the ingestion endpoint. On setting up SSL, the error that we are getting: Connect to **.**.**.** failed. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

May we know if we can use the 9997 for secured TCP (SSL) receiver traffic?

Start with the Splunk on Ubuntu template linked in the issue and inspect its SSL and ingestion receiver configuration, focusing on port 9997. Reproduce the connection refusal and determine whether secured TCP receiver traffic is supported there; done means the supported configuration or required correction is clearly documented.
