Note: When using certain IBM Java 8 runtimes (earlier than SR6 FP25), the Java agent might default to using TLSv1.0 for outbound communication to the Controller. To ensure that the agent utilizes TLSv1.2, set the following additional JVM argument in the generic arguments for the WebSphere JVM.
-Dappdynamics.agent.ssl.protocol=TLSv1.2
For more information, see Splunk AppDynamics Agent SSL Protocol.
