• W3C is kind enough to mention that the 303-header is incompatible with 'many pre-HTTP/1.1 user agents,' which would amount to no browser in current use. So, the 302 is a relic, which shouldn't be used.
• Since not all 404s need redirection, there is a need to ensure that the pages that serve the necessary 404 messages are presentable. For example, it is good to give the user options. You can let them know that there are similar pages on your site that have the same content that they are.

Vote up 1 I have a client that is wanting me to issue a 404 on her links that are no longer valid to a custom 404, pause for 10 seconds, then rediirect to the root page (or whatever other redirect logic she wants).to me it seems trying to game googlebot this way is a 'bad idea'.

Executive Summary

This document presents the latest guidance on rapidly identifying and removing Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol version 1.0 dependencies in software built on top of Microsoft operating systems, following up with details on product changes and new features delivered by Microsoft to protect your own customers and online services. It is intended to be used as a starting point for building a migration plan to a TLS 1.2+ network environment. While the solutions discussed here may carry over and help with removing TLS 1.0 usage in non-Microsoft operating systems or crypto libraries, they are not a focus of this document.

TLS 1.0 is a security protocol first defined in 1999 for establishing encryption channels over computer networks. Amazing 2 9 14 niv. Microsoft has supported this protocol since Windows XP/Server 2003. While no longer the default security protocol in use by modern OSes, TLS 1.0 is still supported for backwards compatibility. Evolving regulatory requirements as well as new security vulnerabilities in TLS 1.0 provide corporations with the incentive to disable TLS 1.0 entirely.

Microsoft recommends customers get ahead of this issue by removing TLS 1.0 dependencies in their environments and disabling TLS 1.0 at the operating system level where possible. Given the length of time TLS 1.0 has been supported by the software industry, it is highly recommended that any TLS 1.0 deprecation plan include the following:

• Code analysis to find/fix hardcoded instances of TLS 1.0 or older security protocols.

• Network endpoint scanning and traffic analysis to identify operatingsystems using TLS 1.0 or older protocols.

• Full regression testing through your entire application stack withTLS 1.0 disabled.

• Migration of legacy operating systems and development libraries/frameworks to versions capable of negotiating TLS 1.2 by default.

• Compatibility testing across operating systems used by your businessto identify any TLS 1.2 support issues.

• Coordination with your own business partners and customers to notifythem of your move to deprecate TLS 1.0.

• Understanding which clients may no longer be able to connect to your servers once TLS 1.0 is disabled.

The goal of this document is to provide recommendations which can help remove technical blockers to disabling TLS 1.0 while at the same time increasing visibility into the impact of this change to your own customers. Completing such investigations can help reduce the business impact of the next security vulnerability in TLS 1.0. For the purposes of this document, references to the deprecation of TLS 1.0 also include TLS 1.1.

Enterprise software developers have a strategic need to adopt more future-safe and agile solutions (otherwise known as Crypto Agility) to deal with future security protocol compromises. While this document proposes agile solutions to the elimination of TLS hardcoding, broader Crypto Agility solutions are beyond the scope of this document.

The Current State of Microsoft's TLS 1.0 implementation

Microsoft's TLS 1.0implementation is freeof known security vulnerabilities. Due to the potential for futureprotocol downgradeattacks and other TLS 1.0vulnerabilities not specific to Microsoft's implementation, it isrecommended that dependencies on all security protocols older than TLS1.2 be removed where possible (TLS 1.1/1.0/ SSLv3/SSLv2).

In planning for this migration to TLS 1.2+, developers and systemadministrators should be aware of the potential for protocol versionhardcoding in applications developed by their employees andpartners. Hardcoding here means that the TLS version is fixed to a version that is outdated and less secure than newer versions. TLS versions newer than the hardcoded version cannot be used without modifying the program in question. This class of problem cannot be addressed without source code changes and software update deployment. Protocol version hardcoding was commonplace in the past fortesting and supportability purposes as many different browsers andoperating systems had varying levels of TLS support.

Ensuring support for TLS 1.2 across deployed operating systems

Many operating systems have outdated TLS version defaults or supportceilings that need to be accounted for. Usage of Windows 8/Server 2012or later means that TLS 1.2 will be the default security protocolversion:

Figure 1: Security Protocol Support by OS Version

*TLS 1.1/1.2 can be enabled on Windows Server 2008 via this optional Windows Update package.

For more information on TLS 1.0/1.1 deprecation in IE/Edge, see Modernizing TLS connections in Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11, Site compatibility-impacting changes coming to Microsoft Edge and Disabling TLS/1.0 and TLS/1.1 in the new Edge Browser

A quick way to determine what TLS version will be requested by variousclients when connecting to your online services is by referring to theHandshake Simulation at Qualys SSL Labs.This simulation covers client OS/browser combinations acrossmanufacturers. See AppendixAat the end of this document for a detailed example showing the TLSprotocol versions negotiated by various simulated client OS/browsercombinations when connecting towww.microsoft.com.

If not already complete, it is highly recommended to conduct aninventory of operating systems used by your enterprise, customers andpartners (the latter two via outreach/communication or at least HTTPUser-Agent string collection). This inventory can be furthersupplemented by traffic analysis at your enterprise network edge. Insuch a situation, traffic analysis will yield the TLS versionssuccessfully negotiated by customers/partners connecting to yourservices, but the traffic itself will remain encrypted.

Microsoft's Engineering Improvements to eliminate TLS 1.0 dependencies

Since the v1 release of this document, Microsoft has shipped a number of software updates and new features in support of TLS 1.0 deprecation. These include:

• IIS custom logging to correlate client IP/user agent string, service URI, TLS protocol version and cipher suite.

  • With this logging, admins can finally quantify their customers' exposure to weak TLS.

• SecureScore - To help Office 365 tenant admins identify their own weak TLS usage, the SecureScore portal has been built to share this information as TLS 1.0 exited support in Office 365 in October 2018.

  • This portal provides Office 365 tenant admins with the valuable information they need to reach out to their own customers who may be unaware of their own TLS 1.0 dependencies.

  • Please visit https://securescore.microsoft.com/ for more information.

• .Net Framework updates to eliminate app-level hardcoding and prevent framework-inherited TLS 1.0 dependencies.

• Developer Guidance and software updates have been released to help customers identify and eliminate .Net dependencies on weak TLS: Transport Layer Security (TLS) best practices with the .NET Framework

  • FYI: All apps targeting .NET 4.5 or below are likely going to have to be modified in order to support TLS 1.2.

• TLS 1.2 has been backported to Windows Server 2008 SP2 and XP POSReady 2009 to help customers with legacy obligations.

• More announcements will be made in early 2019 and communicated in subsequent updates of this document.

Finding and fixing TLS 1.0 dependencies in code

For products using the Windows OS-provided cryptography libraries andsecurity protocols, the following steps should help identify anyhardcoded TLS 1.0 usage in your applications:

1. Identify all instances ofAcquireCredentialsHandle().This helps reviewers get closer proximity to code blocks where TLSmay be hardcoded.

2. Review any instances of theSecPkgContext_SupportedProtocolsandSecPkgContext_ConnectionInfostructures for hardcoded TLS.

3. In native code, set any non-zero assignments ofgrbitEnabledProtocolsto zero. This allows the operating system to use its default TLSversion.

4. Disable FIPSModeif it is enabled due to the potential for conflict with settingsrequired for explicitly disabling TLS 1.0/1.1 in this document. SeeAppendixB formore information.

5. Update and recompile any applications using WinHTTP hosted on Server2012 or older.

   1. Managed apps – rebuild and retarget against the latest .NET Framework version

   2. Applications must add code to support TLS 1.2 viaWinHttpSetOption

6. To cover all the bases, scan source code and online serviceconfiguration files for the patterns below corresponding toenumerated type values commonly used in TLS hardcoding:

   1. SecurityProtocolType

   2. SSLv2, SSLv23, SSLv3, TLS1, TLS 10, TLS11

   3. WINHTTP_FLAG_SECURE_PROTOCOL_

   4. SP_PROT_

   5. NSStreamSocketSecurityLevel

   6. PROTOCOL_SSL or PROTOCOL_TLS

The recommended solution in all cases above is to remove the hardcoded protocol version selection and defer to the operating system default. If you are using DevSkim, click here to see rules covering the above checks which you can use with your own code.

Update Windows PowerShell scripts or related registry settings

Windows PowerShell uses .NET Framework 4.5, which does not include TLS 1.2 as an available protocol. To work around this, two solutions are available:

Solutions (1) and (2) are mutually-exclusive, meaning they need not be implemented together. Smartday 3 2.

Rebuild/retarget managed applications using the latest .Net Framework version

Applications using .NET framework versions prior to 4.7 may have limitations effectively capping support to TLS 1.0 regardless of the underlying OS defaults. Refer to the below diagram and https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/network-programming/tls for more information.

SystemDefaultTLSVersion takes precedence over app-level targeting of TLS versions. The recommended best practice is to always defer to the OS default TLS version. It is also the only crypto-agile solution that lets your apps take advantage of future TLS 1.3 support.

If you are targeting older versions of .NET Framework such as 4.5.2 or 3.5, then by default your application will use the older and not recommended protocols such as SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade to newer versions of .NET Framework such as .NET Framework 4.6 or set the appropriate registry keys for 'UseStrongCrypto'.

Testing with TLS 1.2+

Following the fixes recommended in the section above, products should beregression-tested for protocol negotiation errors and compatibility withother operating systems in your enterprise.

• The most common issue in this regression testing will be a TLSnegotiation failure due to a client connection attempt from anoperating system or browser that does not support TLS 1.2.

  • For example, a Vista client will fail to negotiate TLS with aserver configured for TLS 1.2+ as Vista's maximum supported TLSversion is 1.0. That client should be either upgraded ordecommissioned in a TLS 1.2+ environment.

• Products using certificate-based Mutual TLS authentication mayrequire additional regression testing as the certificate-selectioncode associated with TLS 1.0 was less expressive than that for TLS1.2.

  • If a product negotiates MTLS with a certificate from anon-standard location (outside of the standard named certificatestores in Windows), then that code may need updating to ensurethe certificate is acquired correctly.

• Service interdependencies should be reviewed for trouble spots.

  • Any services which interoperate with 3^rd-partyservices should conduct additional interop testing with those3^rd parties.

  • Any non-Windows applications or server operating systems in userequire investigation / confirmation that they can support TLS1.2. Scanning is the easiest way to determine this.

A simple blueprint for testing these changes in an online serviceconsists of the following:

1. Conduct a scan of production environment systems to identifyoperating systems which do not support TLS 1.2.

2. Scan source code and online service configuration files forhardcoded TLS as described in 'Finding and fixing TLS 1.0dependencies incode'

3. Update/recompile applications as required:

   1. Managed apps

      1. Rebuild against the latest .NET Framework version.

      2. Verify any usage of theSSLProtocolsenumeration is set to SSLProtocols.None in order to use OSdefault settings.

   2. WinHTTP apps – rebuild withWinHttpSetOptionto support TLS 1.2

4. Start testing in a pre-production or staging environment with allsecurity protocols older than TLS 1.2 disabled viaregistry.

5. Fix any remaining instances of TLS hardcoding as they areencountered in testing. Redeploy the software and perform a newregression test run.

Notifying partners of your TLS 1.0 deprecation plans

After TLS hardcoding is addressed and operating system/developmentframework updates are completed, should you opt to deprecate TLS 1.0 itwill be necessary to coordinate with customers and partners:

• Early partner/customer outreach is essential to a successful TLS 1.0deprecation rollout. At a minimum this should consist of blogpostings, whitepapers or other web content.

• Pompeii slot machine download. Partners each need to evaluate their own TLS 1.2 readiness throughthe operating system/code scanning/regression testing initiativesdescribed in above sections.

Conclusion

Removing TLS 1.0 dependencies is a complicated issue to drive end toend. Microsoft and industry partners are taking action on this today toensure our entire product stack is more secure by default, from our OScomponents and development frameworks up to the applications/servicesbuilt on top of them. Following the recommendations made in thisdocument will help your enterprise chart the right course and know whatchallenges to expect. It will also help your own customers become moreprepared for thetransition.

Appendix B: Deprecating TLS 1.0/1.1 while retaining FIPS Mode

Follow the steps below if your network requires FIPS Mode but you alsowant to deprecate TLS 1.0/1.1:

1. Configure TLS versions via theregistry,by setting 'Enabled' to zero for the unwanted TLS versions.

2. Disable Curve 25519 (Server 2016 only) via Group Policy.

3. Disable any cipher suites using algorithms that aren't allowed bythe relevant FIPS publication. For Server 2016 (assuming the defaultsettings are in effect) this is means disabling RC4, PSK and NULLciphers.
