This page describes how to secure communication between the Java Agent and these Splunk AppDynamics components using SSL:

• Splunk AppDynamics Controller: Before you configure the agent to communicate with the Controller through SSL, you must either use a SaaS Controller or configure the on-premises Controller to use SSL. See Gather SSL Configuration Details.
• Splunk AppDynamics Analytics Agent: Before you configure the agent to communicate with the Analytics Agent through SSL, you must Enable SSL for the Analytics Agent.

The Java Agent supports extending and enforcing the SSL trust chain when in SSL mode.
