Hi Anil,

Greetings to you!

It is possible to get this upgrade to TLS 1.2 "indirectly" by upgrading your browser to the latest version. You will automatically be using it if you are using updated browsers. Also, you update your JDK to the latest version.

To check if your browser can handle TLS v1.1 and v1.2, select https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html to open the SSL/TLS Capabilities of Your Browser web page.

Once the page completes the test, scroll down to the Protocol Features section.
  • If Yes is displayed next to TLS 1.1 and/or TLS 1.2, your browser will continue to work as it is currently does with Talent Suite applications.

However, Salesforce is requiring an upgrade to TLS 1.2 by September, 2019, in order to align with industry best practices for security and data integrity. Around this date, Salesforce will begin disabling the TLS 1.1 encryption protocol. 

A new Critical Update Console (CRUC) setting: "Require TLS 1.2 or higher for HTTPS connections" will be made available in the upcoming weeks. You can check the critical updates from Setup -> Search Critical Updates in Quick Find Box -> Select Critical Updates.

Please refer to the below link which might help you further with the above requirement.

Thanks and Regards,
Khan Anas

Hi Anil,

It will be available in the upcoming weeks. However, Salesforce automatically activates critical updates on the date indicated.
Yes, you can activate it. If an update has an Activate link, you can click it to test the update in your sandbox or production environment before Salesforce automatically activates it.
