The inbound and outbound connections for Government Cloud are different than the standard commercial instance to meet specific security requirements.
For outbound connections from Government Cloud instances, we support Transport Layer Security (TLS) v1.3 and TLS v1.2 using the following encryption options:
When connecting to Government Cloud, some third-party integrations might produce an SSL version error, such as the one below that was produced by Informatica:
'Login failed: Error code: [SOAP-ENV:Client] Reason: [SSL_ERROR_SSL error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD: wrong version number]'
Be sure that the integration is set to use an acceptable instance-specific or MyDomain URL as described here.
The Government Cloud infrastructure also requires TLS v1.2 or greater, depending on the cipher used.
For inbound connections to Government Cloud, we support TLS v1.3 and TLS v1.2 using the following encryption options:
