Description

Our BusinessEvents application connects to a secured ActiveSpaces DataGrid. A security vulnerability scan flagged our BusinessEvents application for allowing TLS 1.0 connections on the listen port for the ActiveSpaces DataGrid. How can we enforce a minimum (i.e. earliest) allowed TLS version in this case?
 

Issue/Introduction

Describes how to enforce a minimum-allowed TLS version for secured DataGrid connections.

Environment

All Supported Platforms

Resolution

Upgrade to ActiveSpaces 2.4.1 HF6 (or later) to take advantage of the newer configuration option min_tls_version. Set this in the ActiveSpaces security policy file, for example..
min_tls_version=TLS1.1
The above example will not allow connections using TLSv1.0 and earlier.
