Login failed due to client tls version being less than minimal tls version allowed by the server

Maven5 — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 16:46:27 GMT

I am getting this error "Login failed due to client tls version being less than minimal tls version allowed by the server " when editing the connection. From the splunk community, I have already added some solutions to my configuration,

using db connect setup page to set tls version with the parameter:

-Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2

Also, Adding sslVersions = tls1.2 under [sslconfig]

None of the above worked! Kindly suggest me is there anything i need to check from my end or give any solution for this error.

#tlsversion

What type of DB are you trying to connect to?

Can you share your connection string and other configuration (redacted as appropriate) please?

Depending on your deployment, it might be worth considering switching to the Microsoft JDBC driver which is suggested in Splunk's documentation.

However JTDS might still work. By default, JTDS does not use SSL for the connection which is causing this error. Append the following to the JDBC URL in the connection configuration page:

;ssl=require;

Feel free to share your connection string, redacted as appropriate.
