The TLS connection request has failed.
We are in the process of configuring a new SharePoint 2016 on-premises Farm using Azure VMs.
The App and WFE run on Windows 2019 R2. The SQL DB is Windows 2022 running in CM 110. All DataCenter editions
The farm is not completely configured and is not having traffic yet.
I am seeing the following event (id 36874) in our Event Viewer
An TLS 1.2 connection request was received from a remote client application, but none of the cipher suites supported by the client application are supported by the server. The TLS connection request has failed.
The servers were setup by another team so I'm not sure on what all they did to prepare them and I am not a Sysadmin by training or experience, but I can try and answer questions you may have.
Could there be something missing in the setup of these servers that will prepare them for TLS communication?
Is this an issue with having different ciphers available to each server due to different OS and not being able to agree on one?
I verified that there are ciphers available on the DB that are in common with the ones on our SP Servers, which are in the same order on each server and should be usable.
This is why I'm wondering if TLS has to be eabled or tuned on in some way when newly installing these or perhaps I'm missing something? THese are normal messages?
Thank you!
