.NET and TLSv1.2 Help
The guide details the options for .NET frameworks and those who wish to enable TLSv1.2.
Introduction
The information and instructions on this page apply to version 3.X of TeamConnect Office Suite.
TeamConnect Office integrates into Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
TeamConnect Outlook integrates with Microsoft Outlook.
You must install each add-in separately, for a guide on how to install the 3.X add-in, please click here.
The .NET framework used for the add-in in conjunction with Windows 7 does not enable TLSv1.2 support out of the box, to mitigate this, you may try one of the following options below.
TLSv1.2 Options
Option 1
Create a registry configuration file that will enable the TLSv1.2 in .NET 4.0/4.5 on Windows 7
- One positive of this option is that it should be relatively easy to implement, does not require a code change, minimal re-testing is required.

Option 2
Update the version of .NET required by the plugin.
- The positive of this option is that it is easy to implement.
Option 3
Enable TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 ciphers programmatically within the plugin
- While this should be relatively easy to implement, it may require actual code changes and some re-testing around REST.
- Add the following code to the RestClient implementation:
System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls;
