SSL_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION KB ID 0001856 Problem I get it, older versions of TLS and SSL are insecure and we should not be using them.

Firefox Error: SSL_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_VERSION Microsoft Edge, Chrome, and Opera Error: ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH Microsoft Internet Explorer Error: This might be because the site uses...

Can you Use ‘Let’s Encrypt’ on Hybrid Exchange?

KB ID 0001770 Problem A few months ago I wrote an article about getting free exchange certificates with Lets ‘Encrypt’. And that still works peachy, I implemented it on my test Exchange 2019 server (in Hybrid mode) and all appeared well.  Some time later, (remember this is my test network so it’s not in production.) I noticed that mail was not getting forwarded from O365 to the on premises Exchange server. I’ve...

The problem with version 3 was, (again) that was also ‘bobbins’....

Citrix NetScaler – SSL Offloading

KB ID 0001192  Problem What is SSL Offloading? If you run https services (Note: I say services, this does not have to be a website), the actual security is handled by SSL/TLS, one of the things this does is encrypt the traffic between the client and server. (This is why your online banking and shopping is done over https and not http.) Thats great, but encrypting and decrypting all that traffic takes a lot of processing cycles, if you...
