Configuring Servers to Support TLS 1.x with EmpowerID
In order to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) with EmpowerID, you must apply Microsoft patches to the SQL server and client machines, and add registry settings to the EmpowerID server and client machines.
Prerequisites
The .NET Framework version 4.5 or higher must be installed on the EmpowerID server.
To configure the EmpowerID server machine
From the Start menu, open the Registry Editor (regedit).
Expand the Computer node and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319
Right-click the v4.0.30317 key and select New, then DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Set the Name to SchUseStrongCrypto and the Value data to 1.
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319
Again, right-click the v4.0.30317 key and select New, then DWORD (32-bit) Value, and add the same subkey:
Value name: SchUseStrongCrypto
Value data: 1
