MSConnection utilizes TLS 1.0/1.1 over TLS 1.2, unless they are disabled

Post by parisa » Tue 05 May 2020 21:27

Hello there,

We use SDAC 9.1.3 in D2007.

Our application uses following settings to establish an encrypted transmission:

MSConnection.Options.Encrypt = true;
MSConnection.Option.TrustServerCertificate=true;
MSConnection.Options.Provider = prAuto;

We noticed that TLS 1.2 is only utilized if TLS 1.0/1.1 are manually disabled on the machine running the application. Is there a way to configure component to prioritize using newer version of protocol (1.2) to the older versions and eliminate manual process of disabling older versions?

Thanks in advance,
Parisa

To use TLS 1.2 in SDAC, you don't have to configure anything on the client side. When you connect to SQL Server, a list of supported protocols, including "TLS 1.2" is sent to the server.
The server itself decides which protocol to use for data encryption.
