By default this is the case, but the setting can be deactivated via group policies or registry keys. Please check whether TLS 1.0 is enabled or set to “Not configured” in your group policies under the following category: Network/SSL Configuration Settings/Protocols/Weak Protocols From vistrax version 2.6.2 it is possible to use the newer Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server (MSOLEDBSQL), that supports TLS 1.0 and newer, as well as self-signed certificates. This database driver must be installed separately. Only then it can be selected in the Microsoft SQL Server Connection Settings.
