Kofax Capture 11.x

Summary

We use Kofax Capture Validation module in several batch classes, which are provided with validation scripts developed in VB.NET and perform data validation and data completion tasks. The scripts communicate with a web service. Due changed security requirements for application servers where now only TLS v1.2 is allowed, no older protocols, our validation scripts cannot communicate with the server with error:

Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority 'webserviceserver:470'

What can we do to ensure that the DLLs containing the validation scripts also use TLS v1.2? The scripts have been compiled to a .NET version that already supports TLS v1.2.

Answer/Solution

Please create a file Index.exe.config with content provided bellow. Please put it then on machine where you run Validation module into KC\bin folder, re-open Validation module.
