Forcing an old .NET application to support TLS 1.2 without recompiling it
Read OriginalThis technical article addresses a common problem where legacy .NET Framework 4.0/4.5 applications fail to connect to modern servers requiring TLS 1.2. It explains why simply installing a newer .NET runtime is insufficient and provides a practical, step-by-step solution to force TLS 1.2 support by modifying the application's .exe.config file, referencing Microsoft's best practices. It also includes a note for Windows 7 systems requiring a registry tweak.
