Cause

TLS 1.2 is not correctly configured properly on the CloudLink or Folder Sync server.

Resolution

To correctly enable TLS 1.2 only on the server, the following registry keys should be configured.

Warning: Incorrect use of the Windows registry editor may prevent the operating system from functioning properly. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows registry. Registry modifications should only be carried-out by persons experienced in the use of the registry editor application. It is recommended that a complete backup of the registry and workstation be made prior to making any registry changes.

Issue/Introduction

CloudLink or Folder Sync are unable to communicate to the Arctera Insight Archiving web service on the same TLS algorithm, after TLS 1.2 only is enabled on the server.
