Advanced Options SSL Connection

Click to enable SSL Connection:

  • Truststore Location: Location of the certificate on the DB Agent host.
  • Truststore Type: Type of SSL Connection. There are two truststore types:
    • PKCS12(default)

    • SSO: Enables auto-login. If you use SSO, you only need to provide the truststore location and truststore type

  • Truststore Password: Password for SSL Connection.

If you also use client certificate authentication, then click the Enable SSL Client Authentication box.

  • Keystore Location: location of the certificate on the DB Agent host.
  • Keystore Type: type of SSL Connection.
  • Keystore Password: password for SSL Connection.

You can set the context protocol for the SSL environment using the dbagent.cassandra.ssl.context.protocol system variable. If you do not set the context protocol through the system variable, TLSv1.3 is used by default.

These platforms support TLSv1.3:

  • Oracle JDK >= 8u261-b12
  • AdoptOpenJDK >= 8u262-b10
  • Azul Platform Prime >= 20.07.0.0
Note: If a JDK version does not support TLSv1.3 or the specified context protocol, Splunk AppDynamics switches to TLSv1.2.
