Secure Communication between CriblCloud Leader node and Hybrid Worker/ Edge nodes !!!

Question

Hi,I would like to  secure the communication between the Cribl managed Leader  node and the Hybrid Workers and edge nodes currently located on Prem . I understand that the communication between the Leader node and Hybrid Workers / Edge nodes is already encrypted ( port 443 ) . How are those entities being currently authenticated ? I can also  see that the recommendation is to implement mutual authentication  but not sure about the best way to go about it ?Any advice would be be very much appreciated .Thank You

There is a token in the command you use to join an Edge node to the leader.

No, mTLS is not best practice currently for worker→leader comms. In fact, I don't think mTLS is supported for Cribl Cloud Leaders at this point.
