Apologies for this has been addressed or released as an update, but I did take a look through the changelog and see no mention of support for tls 1.1 or higher.

We made changes to environment and removed insecure cipher suits including TLS 1.0 and after doing this SolidCP cannot communicate with SmarterMail Server.

If the smartermail server is patched using IIS Crypto with FIPS, Strict, PCI 3.2 Profile, communication from SolidCP fails with the error below

Is there a change that can be made within the web.config of solidcp's files to remove depreciated versions of TLS?
Google suggests adding the following, but I dont see where it should be added to

<code>ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;</code>

Hello,

Normally i would expect to see this when one server isn't configured with the same ciphers as the other.

Can you confirm your SolidCP Portal and Enterprise is also patched identically?.

Regards,

Marco

Hey Marco,

Thanks for the response. I also suspected the same and applied the same patching to the Portal and Enterprise server hoping that it would resolve the issue but unfortunately this did not work.

From what I can tell .net needs to be told not to use tls version 1

@Marco

Where do you suggest that I try changing the web.config, ie which web.config would handle this

I would assume it's best to place it in the Enterprise and most likely portal aswell as they all connect to eachother.

Can you confirm that works?
