Deployment Method: Individual Install, Upgrade, & Uninstall
To install BetterTls (Install), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To upgrade BetterTls (Install), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To uninstall BetterTls (Install), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
Deployment Method:
This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url
(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)
2. Setup Your Environment
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)
choco download bettertls-psmodule --internalize --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
-
For package and dependencies run:
choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
- Automate package internalization
-
Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade bettertls-psmodule -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade bettertls-psmodule -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

Module Information
BetterTls is a PowerShell Module to manage TLS settings for Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod in Windows PowerShell 5.1 and older.
In Windows PowerShell 5.1 and older, only SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 are enabled by default. Many modern APIs, including GitHub, have begun moving to support only TLS 1.2. If you attempt to use those APIs with Invoke-WebRequest and/or Invoke-RestMethod you will received the following error:
> Invoke-RestMethod : The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.
> At line:1 char:1
> + Invoke-RestMethod https://api.github.com/repositories/49609581/issues ...
> + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebException
> + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand
>
> Invoke-WebRequest : The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

> + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-WebRequest], WebException
> + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand
This module provides best practice ways to enable and disable TLS protocols. Many module and script authors are setting these directly without prompting for user consent. That practice is dangerous as it may decrease the user's security or break access to previously working APIs. These settings affect .NET APIs beyond just Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod. Additionally, the settings persist for the duration of the user's PowerShell Session at the AppDomain level. These authors mean well, but may not fully understand all the implications of their actions.
The functions in this module require user consent before making changes to the TLS settings, but only when settings are actually required. If the user's settings already include the code authors desired settings, then the user is not prompted and no changes are made.
The confirmation prompts can be suppressed for automation jobs. However, when working with user facing and interactive code, the prompts should not be suppressed. This allows the user to be made aware of the changes being made to their session.
PowerShell Core 6.0.0 and later do not require this module. Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod are not affected by settings made to System.Net.ServicePointManager in PowerShell Core. TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 are enabled by default in PowerShell Core. For more information on this and other differences please see my blog.
