SSL "obsolete key" warning in chrome browser

Has anyone been able to get Splunk Web settings that do not trigger these browser reports?

web.conf

[settings]
enableSplunkWebSSL = 1
cipherSuite = TLSv1.2:!eNULL:!aNULL:!SHA1
supportSSLV3Only = False
sslVersions = tls1.2

I still get this

Obsolete Connection Settings
The connection to this site uses a strong protocol (TLS 1.2), an obsolete key exchange (RSA), and a strong cipher (AES_128_GCM).

Solved. No splunk settings were changed from the above to make this work.

This warning can be removed by using ellipitcal curve cert keys.

The down side is that your CA needs to be signing EC certs. If they aren't then you can't use ec keys.
