Report a new misconfiguration Found a mistake?

Description

Encryption should be set with the latest version of TLS where possible. Versions prior to TLS 1.2 are deprecated and usage may pose security risks.

How to fix?

Set the origin.custom_origin_config.origin_ssl_protocols attribute to include only TLSv1.2 or later.

Invalid values:

  • SSLv2
  • SSLv3
  • TLSv1
  • TLSv1.1
