We are running Windows Server 2008 R2. TLS 1.0 has been non-PCI compliant for some time now, and disabling it via the windows registry is easy. In the past, though, disabling TLS 1.0 has caused 2 problems for us:
Problem #1 was fixed with MS patch KB3080079, but our websites still crash as soon as TLS 1.0 gets disabled. What do I need to do to keep ASP.NET happy, and the sites online, when disabling TLS 1.0?
Here is the error message, which only occurs when TLS 1.0 is disabled in the registry and after the server is rebooted:
Server Error in '/' Application.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.34280
Note: TLS 1.1 and 1.2 were manually enabled in the registry.
We had to configure .NET to use stronger protocols before disabling TLS 1.0 to avoid System.InvalidOperationException in IIS.
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727" /v SchUseStrongCrypto /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319" /v SchUseStrongCrypto /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727" /v SchUseStrongCrypto /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319" /v SchUseStrongCrypto /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
I think I have discovered that SQL Server is actually the cause of the problem, when TLS 1.0 gets disabled. (Which crashes all our websites.) There's a fix for this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3135244
