Splunk Enterprise

FIPS Enabling on existing Splunk deployment with SSL enabled

Hi,

We have an existing Splunk deployment that uses SSL certs for security.

A new STIG has a requirement to use FIPS.

If I read through all of the previous FIPS related questions it seems that I need to reinstall the same version, or upgrade the version of Splunk enterprise/ Splunk Universal Forwarder.

I hit a snag with the reinstall the same version, and maybe someone can give a suggestion. When I try to reinstall over the current installation, the installer is too smart. It notices the same version is installed and exits instead of asking if the user wishes to continue. Does anyone know of a way to get the installer to reinstall over itself?

this is a Windows installation.

Any help will be useful.

thx,

Ken
