Cause

Cause type:
Configuration
Root Cause: In order to use either TLS 1.1 or 1.2 Java 1.8 must be used.

Resolution

Upgrade to Java 1.8 as TLS versions 1.1 and 1.2 are enabled by default. The https.protocols property has no effect on the Apache HTTP client library which the Agent uses.

Fix Status: No Fix
