How will the below affect Event Espresso?

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.

Hi Dorian,

You will need to make sure that your web server supports TLS 1.2 or you will not be able to accept payments using the Authorize.net gateway starting on September 18 2017. You can test with a sandbox account to verify if your server is ready. You can also contact your host and ask them to make sure that your server has the latest version of libcurl. The latest version of libcurl will support TLS 1.2.
