Older versions of Linx5 (v5.13 and below) still used the .Net Framework v 4.5 . With this .Net framework, the default, built-in Security settings do not allow you, for instance, to connect to a site or service that uses the newer TLS1.2 features. This will give warnings like “Could not connect securely…” etc.
There is, however, a relatively quick way to solve this problem. .Net Framework 4+ does support these new security features, but they need to be specifically switched on. To switch on these features, follow these steps:
- Edit your registry by Running “regedit” as administrator
- Find the following (and similar) key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NetFramework\v4.0.30319”
- Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value with Name “SchUseStrongCrypto” and give it a value of 1 ( Hexadecimal base)
- Add the same key-value to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft.NetFramework\v4.0.30319” and similar.
- Reboot the machine.
