Which TLS version does Azure IoT SDK v1.4.3 support?

Camilla Lie 26

We are using Azure IoT SDK version 1.4.3 and are wondering how we can find documentation on which TLS version this SDK supports?

From this link: https://build5nines.com/azure-iot-hub-and-dps-to-only-support-tls-1-2-on-july-1-2020/ , it appears that after July 1st 2020, IoT Hub no longer supports TLS version lower than 1.2, meaning we need to make sure our SDK also supports this version.

Thank you!

Hi,

You'll find the supported TLS versions here:

TLS support in IoT Hub
https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/iot-hub-tls-support

Microsoft is deprecating TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 in IoT Hub, however they will continue to support it still until further notice.

Thank you for the links, I have already seen through them. It appears that to set a minimum TLS version, this has to be done when the IoT hub is created. So there is no way of doing this to an existing IoT Hub?

Also, do you know where we can find which TLS versions each version of the IoT SDK supports?

Most SDKs support both TLS 1.0 and 1.1, the Python SDK does not support TLS 1.1 connections due to security concerns.
If you're using the versions mentioned in the list in the link below or newer version you will also gain support for TLS 1.2.

When using the Azure IoT SDK in your application, you can control which version of TLS is being used, however I'm not sure how it's done with Python.
Every SDK page, except for Python has a guide on how to configure the TLS.
