In Splunk 6.4, I noticed server.conf.spec has reference to Common Criteria mode. Does Splunk support that yet?

Splunk Enterprise 6.4 release shows some .conf.spec files (eg. server.conf, authentication.conf ...) that has references to Common Criteria mode for some of the attributes.

Is Splunk 6.4 NIAP certified yet and supported?

Splunk has submitted Splunk Enterprise 6.4.0 for Common Criteria evaluation.

Until we are common criteria certified we do not recommend nor support configuring Splunk Enterprise in common criteria mode.

This can also be referenced in the Splunk documentation: About securing Splunk Enterprise

When we are officially accepted by NIAP to start the CC certification evaluation, it will be posted to the NIAP website: https://www.niap-ccevs.org/Product/PINE.cfm

How CC certification evaluation goes? Has Splunk Enterprise 6.4.0 got the certification?
It's gone away from NIAP website
