Checking / Updating Outbound TLS 1.2 Support

 

The version of Windows Server, necessary to check for ASP.NET and Classic ASP support, can be ascertained by reviewing the Server Name in the DiscountASP Control Panel, then matching it against the key below.  The Server Type field in the DiscountASP Control Panel will show whether the site is on Windows Server 2008, 2012, or 2016, but the key below will specify whether it's on 2008 R2 or 2012 R2.

 

 

 

 

 

The requirements for TLS 1.2 support when using ASP.NET are Windows Server 2012 R2 or 2016, ASP.NET Framework 4.5 or higher and bootstrapping code to set the TLS version.

If a site is hosted on older version of Windows, for migration assistance to Windows 2012 R2 or Windows 2016, please open a ticket with Support.

If a site is using an ASP.NET Framework older than 4.5 it will need to be updated. Note this is a project update rather than the ASP.NET Framework version set in the DiscountASP Control Panel.

To set the TLS version for an outbound connection, add the following to the script making the connection or the global.asax:

System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12

More information regarding the last update can be found after the link https://stackoverflow.com/q/28286086.  Also note that the bootstrapping code would have to be updated if TLS requirements were to change in the future.
