Does anyone know if this will affect AbleCommerce Gold?

Email from FedEx:


Upgrade from TLSv1.x to TLSv1.2 – Web Services Customers
We at FedEx, understand the complexities that COVID-19 pandemic has caused. As such, we are extending the upgrade completion date to May 29, 2021 for transitioning from TLSv1.x to the more secure version – TLSv1.2. or higher Please note, those using a TLS protocol below TLSv1.2 after 01/23/2021 will begin to receive a warning message.
Warning: The standard Transport Layer Security protocol (TLSv1.2 or higher) was not used for the encryption client connection. Please notify your Network Administrator.
Effective May 29, 2021 FedEx will no longer accept a security protocol below TLSv1.2 for any of our production web services gateway servers. After that date, any communication requests submitted to FedEx using a security protocol below TLSv1.2 will fail. These changes will impact the following production servers:
https://gateway.fedex.com/web-services

https://ws.fedex.com/web-services

Hello Charles,

You'd be having a lot more trouble than Fedex if TLS-1.2 wasn't available on your website.

You can check the bottom of this FAQ to confirm your global.asax file, but this was a change 3 years ago and your payment gateway wouldn't be working if you didn't already have the changes in the file.

Thanks for your support

I was more concerned with the FedEx Plugin not working properly. We have been hurt in a similar situation where a 3rd party program that communicated with a website broke when the website moved from 1.x to 1.2. We had to modify the code in the application to make it work properly.

But if you can say 100 percent confidence that the FedEx plugin will work just fine when FedEx turns off 1.x then I will sleep better at night.

Thanks for alleviating any concerns.
