Does Splunk forwarder 6.0.3 support TLSv1.2

[amanteja]

Does Splunk forwarder 6.0.3 support TLSv1.2 or does it only support SSL v3?

[yannK]

splunk version 9.0.3 does not exists yet. Are you from the future ?

[amanteja]

version = 6.0.3

[yannK]

6.0.3 is quite old, they were many security improvements since.

It look like this depends of the version of openssl shipped with the splunk version
see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0.3/Security/Determineyourciphersuite

 $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl ciphers -v "TLSv1.2"

I do not see a 6.0.3 on the download page, so I tried on a 6.0.4

./splunk cmd openssl ciphers -v "TLSv1.2"
