    Hi, just got this email from Authorize.net. I am not sure if it applies to your plugin, but just in case it does, here you go:

    Important TLS Disablement Notice

    Dear Authorize.Net Merchant:
    As you may be aware, new PCI DSS requirements state that all payment systems must disable early TLS by 2018. Transport Layer Security (TLS), is a technology used to encrypt sensitive information sent via the Internet. TLS is the replacement for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

    In preparation for this requirement, Authorize.Net plans to disable TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 on the following dates:

    Sandbox: COMPLETE
    Production: September 18, 2017

    We have disabled the sandbox in advance of production to allow you and your developer time to test your website or payment solution and ensure you are no longer using TLS 1.0 or 1.1 prior to September 18th.

    Please contact your web developer or payment solution provider, as well as your web hosting company, to confirm that they can support TLS 1.2 for your API connections.

    In addition, we plan to retire the 3DES cipher (a data encryption standard) in production soon. However, the date has not yet been finalized. We will notify you once it has.

    Please refer your developer or solution provider to our API Best Practices for cipher recommendations, details about TLS 1.2 platform support, and other integration suggestions.

    Note: If you are not using the current version of your web browser, please take a few moments to upgrade it now. Browsers released prior to 2014 may not support TLS 1.2. You can check your browser’s TLS support by visiting https://www.howsmyssl.com/.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter and for being an Authorize.Net merchant.

    Sincerely,
    Authorize.Net

  • I came here with the same question, just wanting to verify this plugin is fully ready for the TLS 1.2 switch in September. Thanks!

    In this Regard i tested and my transaction went fine in sandbox without any issues but it said Transaction Type: Authorized and held for review

    It did not do authorize and capture so i need to check that part

    nazrulhassanmca – I have a client with “authorize and capture” so I’d be curious if this works for you so we too don’t have to worry about this. Please follow up here with what you find.

    Thanks.

    Howdy,

    Checking in. Will there be an official release with this handled? I use this with several clients and want to make sure I know when this is all good!

    Thanks
