i have installed ES 4.7 and it took long time to get installed (left it running last evening and this morning ES was up and running). pending restart. i restarted splunk but after that splunk web is not accessible.

same was happening when i tried installing ES 5(known issue) yesterday but then i removed that and fell back on more stable (IMO) ES4.7 version. Now my splunk web is not accessing on https any idea how to fix this

$INSTALL/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log says -

04-19-2018 10:08:03.390 +0400 WARN  HttpListener - Socket error from 10.1.23.202 while idling: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

There are rw permissions to splunk (user) on /opt/splunk/etc/myinstall/splunkd.xml .

The intermediate WAF was the culprit.

@burakcinar, The splunk version is splunk Enterprise 7.0.2 and ES version is 4.7
I have added your shared configs in my /system/local/server.conf and restarted splunk but that didnt bring the web accessible. Could you suggest something else.
