  1. Phasing out X500-based security?


    Hi.As many of you will know, everything based on X500-series is built on weirdly formatted flat text files. Those files use different numbers of spaces and carriage returns, among other things, as field delimiters. The schema is just weird, such that rather than having key=value pairs, it has things like "key=value1, value2, value3..." example: the CN field in any given such text file has multiple values. The data is not at all normalised, and frankly it's just a mess. I believe this is because those RFC folks were from the Dark Ages, when people used codepages and flat text files for ev

    That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.

    SonicWall is a good security product, so Mindweaver's suggestion sounds like a good one and should make for a rather bigger baby step. Let's hope they take it.

    Microsoft Edge TLS Security

    After trying everything (not a lot of steps) listed in the Microsoft Edge support site, I did a wider search and found this very simple youtube video that fixed it immediately:

    For those who prefer not to click links the steps are simple:

    1. Click in the Cortana search bar next to the Win 10 Start button

    2. Type internet options

    3. Select internet options (control panel) from the list

    4. Click on the advanced tab

    5. Scroll down to the security section

    6. Make sure the following are all clicked:
    Use SSL 3.0
    Use TLS 1.0
    Use TLS 1.1
    Use TLS 1.2

    7. Click apply

    8. Refresh the page that was giving the error and it should now connect.

    Hope this helps, it was a 30 second fix after hours of pounding my head against the error with the Support site suggestions.
