In the past, I've seen a number of people ask how to enable a recurring feed from a hosting server that is using SSL/TLS, particularly when attempting to add a recurring feed hosted on the NetWitness Node0 server itself. The issue presents itself as a "Failed to access file" error message, which can be especially frustrating when you know your CSV file is there on the server, and you've double- and triple-checked that you have the correct URL:
There are a number of blogs and KBs that cover this topic in varying degrees of detail:
Since all the steps required to enable a recurring feed from a SSL/TLS-protected server are done via CLI (apart from the Feed Wizard in the UI), I figured it would be a good idea to put together a script that would just do everything - minus a couple requests for user input and (y/N) prompts - automatically.

Success!
