How to disable insecure encryption protocols: Notes on TLS 1.0/1.1

PROCALL ENTERPRISE SECURITY ENCRYPTION CONFIGURATION FUNCTIONS

Since estos products are based on the Microsoft platform, they are "affected" by the settings made there and can therefore only use the approved encryption methods.

We have put together some information for you in our new article on how to disable older encryption protocols to make sure that the latest protocol version is used and how to prevent connections with insecure protocols for ProCall Enterprise on the server and on the client.
Please note that changing the configuration may lead to compatibility problems with other software if it does not support the latest TLS protocol version..
