Splunk TA-tenable SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE

We stopped receiving data from tenable a few days ago. When I went to investigate I could find nothing that changed. But now we cannot add/edit our tenable accounts without getting "No Tenable.sc Instance at <fqdn:443>".

Things I was able to do:

Log into tenable with the credentials just fine.

Perform a test-netconnection <FQDN> -Port 443

nslookup was good

able to ping

Things I tried but failed:

Use the FQDN and IP address.

The app is installed on our Heavy Forwarder which has the Search Head and KVStore roles. Splunk Enterprise versions is 8.2.2.1, Windows server 2019.

We were running TA-tenable version 5.0.1 and it wasnt working. I upgraded to TA-tenable 5.2.1 and got the same error.

From our logs:

 I've been troubleshooting this the last few days and any help would be appreciated.

The issue was resolved when we discovered RedSeal was unable to communicate with tenable as well . On our ACAS box SELinux was misconfigured and not allowing communication. Once we adjusted SELinux, connections were all restored.

As you can see, you're getting an SSL handshake error which means that either the negotiation of session parameters fails (have you upgraded either splunk, the app or the tenable server?) or the server's certificate is not accepted by the client (or vice-versa if you're using mutual authentication). Hasn't your tenable server's certificate just expired? Or haven't you reissued a cert for the server from another CA?

I brought up the certs to our ACAS admin, and they confirmed they did update the tenable certs.  They gave me the certs, but I'm not sure where to put them to get it to work.
