Question

How do I configure Drone2Map for ArcGIS to use TLS 1.2?

Answer

Esri is committed to building and providing strong security for the ArcGIS Platform and helping our customers by using the latest security protocols. We strive to implement the highest industry standards, including TLS for data integrity and network security.  

To meet these standards, Esri is making software updates across the ArcGIS Platform to support TLS 1.2. As part of improving ArcGIS Online security, Esri is requiring TLS 1.2 connections for ArcGIS Online services. Action is required to ensure continued access to these services. 

Note:
See the Product Life Cycle pages on the Esri Support site for the support status of each released version of Drone2Map for ArcGIS.

Drone2Map version 1.3.2:
Drone2Map version 1.3.2 is ready – no action is necessary to use TLS 1.2. Esri recommends upgrading to this release. To do so, log in to My Esri , and download the appropriate version of Drone2Map..

Drone2Map versions 1.3.1 and earlier:
There are two options to enable TLS 1.2 for older versions of Drone2Map for ArcGIS:

• Option 1 (Recommended): Upgrade to the latest version of Drone2Map for ArcGIS.
• Option 2: Configure the Windows operating system to use TLS 1.2. This enables all applications on the system that depend on the Microsoft .NET Framework to use TLS 1.2.
  The steps to configure the Windows operating system to use TLS 1.2 are described in: How To: Configure Windows to use TLS 1.2 for applications that use the .NET4 Framework.

Note:
Consider your situation when deciding which approach to use–Esri has certified that setting the .NET environment to enable TLS 1.2 will not cause problems with ArcGIS; however, this may impact other .NET applications by changing their default TLS behavior. Consult a qualified computer systems professional, if necessary.
