DSDL App - Cannot establish test connection due to Python exception.

[berrybob]

As title says, I'm having trouble to establish a connection with my Openshift namespace. Whenever I enter the details and hit Save and Test, an error pops up:

Setup Failed

An exception was thrown while dispatching the python script handler. .

I've been searching the python logs and it seems to be related to OpenSSL:

grep -B 5 -A 5 "mltk" .../var/log/splunk/python.log

->

ERROR You are linking against OpenSSL 1.0.2, which is no longer supported by the OpenSSL project. To use this version of cryptography you need to upgrade to a newer version of OpenSSL. For this version only you can also set the environment variable CRYPTOGRAPHY_ALLOW_OPENSSL_102 to allow OpenSSL 1.0.2.

As the error suggests, I tried to set a variable via command line, as well as through /splunk/etc/splunk-launch.conf but without success. Has anyone had this error before and knows how to solve?

We had the same issue after an update, but the solution resolved it. Thank you!

Hi @berrybob 

Just to confirm - you did CRYPTOGRAPHY_ALLOW_OPENSSL_102=1 in your /opt/splunk/etc/splunk-launch.conf? Did you then restart Splunk?

Once this is done this should allow OpenSSL 1.0.2. 

After this do you still get the exact same error - or is it different?
