@Hesham Eldeeb Thank you for reaching out.

Please do not share sensitive information like subscription ID or password as this is a public forum.Azure has announced that support for older TLS versions (TLS 1.0, and 1.1) ends October 31, 2024. For more information, see TLS 1.0 and 1.1 deprecation.

Starting November 2024, you will no longer be able to set the minimal TLS version for Azure SQL Database and Azure Synapse Analytics client connections below TLS 1.2.

1. Go to the Azure portal and go to the logical server in Azure.
2. Under Security, select the Networking page.
3. Choose the Connectivity tab. Select the Minimum TLS Version desired for all databases associated with the server, and select Save.

Configure minimum TLS version
