           Severity

High

           Affected Element

System property

## Rule ID

**SN-0181**

## Impact

When active, outbound connections from an instance are forced to use TLS instead of SSL. Setting this property forces the MID Server to use TLS when making outbound connections, such as REST and SOAP requests.

## Remediation

It is recommended to set this property “glide.outbound.sslv3.disabled” to true to enforce the use if TLS during all outbound connections from ServiceNow instance.

### Time to fix

15 min
