Prevent error messages when your system fails to use TLS 1.1 or earlier protocols
With Tivoli® Storage Manager Version 7.1.4, you can prevent error messages about failures to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.1 or earlier protocols for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) ports. To prevent the error messages, specify a value of YES for the new SSLHIDELEGACYTLS server option.
When you specify a value of YES, servers and storage agents preclude the use of TLS 1.1 and earlier protocols for SSL ports. The option is useful in situations such as the following one:
- To enhance security, you restrict communications to TLS 1.2 by specifying a value of YES for the SSLDISABLELEGACYTLS option.
- To ensure that failures to use earlier protocols are not logged as errors, you specify a value of YES for the SSLHIDELEGACYTLS option.
