If the OData Service is running on the Cloud, then in order to fetch the OData service’s metadata, TLS 1.2 related settings must be configured. To do this make sure that your .NET framework is configured to support TLS 1.2.
.NET 4.0 does not enable TLS 1.2 by default. To enable TLS 1.2 by default perform the following steps:
In the following two registry keys, set the SchUseStrongCrypto DWORD value to 1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319.
