Yes this is the problem SQL Server 2005 / 2008 (RTM) -> only support SSL 3.0 / TLS 1.0 and SQL Server 2008 R2 -> still limited to TLS 1.0, and Windows 11 clients -> only allow TLS 1.2/1.3 ciphers (AES?GCM, AES?CBC with SHA256/384). Legacy 3DES is blocked (TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA is disable).
So my approach was wrong, i aneed a Stunnel TLS proxy on server (stunnel listens on 1433, terminates TLS 1.2/1.3, and forwards to SQL Server’s legacy port)...
