Specify the TLS cipher suites to disable

Computer and userIntune-readyTLSCipherSuiteDenyList

Supported on Microsoft Edge version 85, Windows 7 or later

155.0.4283.62

What it does

Configure the list of cipher suites that are disabled for TLS connections. If you configure this policy, the list of configured cipher suites won't be used when establishing TLS connections. If you don't configure this policy, the browser chooses which TLS cipher suites to use. Cipher suite values to be disabled are specified as 16-bit hexadecimal values. The values are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) registry. The TLS 1.3 cipher suite TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 (0x1301) is required for TLS 1.3 and can't be disabled by this policy. This policy does not affect QUIC-based connections. QUIC can be turned off via the 'QuicAllowed' (Allow QUIC protocol) policy. Example value: 0x1303 0xcca8 0xcca9

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
The generated payload is incomplete because one or more ADMX element values were not supplied: TLSCipherSuiteDenyListDesc
