# SSLMethod

Specifies which SSL protocol is used. The options are:

- `TLSV1.3`
- `TLSV1.2`
- `TLSV1`
- `SSLV3`
- `Negotiate` - negotiate, and use the highest protocol supported by both client and server. In earlier versions of Answer Server, this method is known as `SSLV23`.

Micro Focus recommends that you use `TLSV1.3`, unless interoperability with older systems requires use of less secure protocols.
