Has SPL-37637 been resolved?

I would like to require that our forwarders use SSL. I've seen references to a bug in 4.2.4 that will break when that setting in exists in inputs.conf. Has in been resolved in 4.2.5? I've searched the site for release notes that detail the bugs fixed in the release, but couldn't find anything.

Thx.

This bug does not prevent the use of SSL. Detailed steps to do so are here, though the standard docs are also correct. This bug prevents validation of certificates on the client, i.e., forwarder by the indexer. This is not common.

However, the bug is not fixed in 4.2.5, but should be fixed in 4.3, which is due out imminently.

Support has told me that the bug indeed has been fixed in 4.3

We've got some pretty stringent security requirements and don't want a malicious client to interject bad data into the system.

Thx.
