Cause

Druva has ended support for SSLv3 and TLS 1.0. SSLv3 and TLS 1.0 are now obsolete and known to have several security vulnerabilities. IETF, as well as several government agencies and global compliance regulations have mandated that SSLv3 and TLS 1.0 must not be used. In line with the best security practices, inSync now uses TLS 1.1 or higher for secure connection.

Resolution

On Windows Devices:

  • Auto upgrade to inSync Client 5.9.5 from the inSync Management Console. Or, manually upgrade to inSync Client 5.9.5.

 On Mac devices:

  • Manually upgrade devices that are lower than 5.4.2 to inSync Client 5.9.5.
