Transport Layer Security (TLS), like the well known Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), is a protocol for secured data transfer.

For old versions of SourceAnywhere, only version 1.0 and 1.1 of TLS protocols are supported. From version 6.3 of SourceAnywhere, we now also support TLS version 1.2.

For customers who require high level security on the server side, some of them choose to disable TLS 1.0/1.1 and keep only TLS 1.2 available. For such case, please make sure you follow the steps below. Otherwise, the connection between SourceAnywhere Server and SQL Server would fail.

1. Make sure you install version 6.3 or high version of SourceAnywhere Server and Client.
2. Pplease navigate to the installation folder of SourceAnywhere Server and open the sawsconfigure.ini file
3. Find [Server Info] in the sawsconfigure.ini file and add the value to "Provide=" as shown below in red.
Provider=sqlncli11

4. Open SourceAnywhere Service Configurator program, then stop and restart the service.
