What is the minimum TLS version to support? ›

Minimum TLS Version only allows HTTPS connections from visitors that support the selected TLS protocol version or newer. For example, if TLS 1.1 is selected, visitors attempting to connect with TLS 1.0 will be rejected. Visitors attempting to connect using TLS 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 (if enabled) will be allowed to connect.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an online security protocol that provides a secure connection by encrypting all data between servers and email clients. Due to increased attacks and security vulnerabilities in previous years, we will no longer support TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1.

Effective April 2, 2024 Calabrio will deprecate Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.1 and weak Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and TLS 1.2 ciphers. This communication provides you with comprehensive information about these changes, their impact, and the necessary steps you need to take.

However, the newest servers are 2022, which support TLS 1.3. For security purposes, we try to manage those items we can via GPO, so we do not have to do a lot of every-server type of configuration. However, TLS 1.3 ciphers are not, by default, included in 2016.
