One of our SSRS reports loads images from external sources and one of these sources has been locked down to tls 1.2 (which is fair and we're expecting more of our clients to be doing this in the future)
The tls 1.2 update has been applied to the server holding the ReportServer database and the two Reporting Services endpoints held on seperate machines.
All three machines have been tested locally and can all load the secured image in their browsers but when a report is ran using SSRS it fails
I've set up a report for testing which has no database connection, it is simply a non secured image link and a tls 1.2 secured image link,
The error I get is: Warning [rsInvalidImageReference] The ImageData for the image ‘Image2’ is invalid. Details: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.
This leaves the image as src(unknown)
in the actual report
So I feel like I've missed something in the installation of the tls 1.2 patch
Anyone have any ideas what might be going on?

I ran into this issue when attempting to run images from IIS Server which was locked down to TLS1.1 and TLS1.2
The issue was two fold
I had to update the Registry to add the following keys
per this article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3154519/support-for-tls-system-default-versions-included-in-the--net-framework
I also had to use the following Entry in the configuration file for Reporting Services
After all of this all I had to do is restart the reporting service and it was fine
Note that i do have tls 1.1 and 1.2 locked down my SSRS and SQL Server (not sure if this is also a requirement for this fix)
My System Sql Server 2016 and Windows Server 2012 R2
