Scheduled
On Tuesday, June 16th at 10 AM Eastern US Time, we will run a 24-hour live test, changing our production environment (www.trackabout.com) to allow the TLS 1.2 encryption protocol only.

During the test period of 24 hours, the TrackAbout application will ONLY ACCEPT TLS 1.2 secure connections, and will reject connections from older systems limited to TLS 1.0 and 1.1.

We STRONGLY URGE all customers to review the full details of this change if you have not already. Those details are available here:
https://meta.trackabout.com/wiki/Critical_Announcement:_TrackAbout_End_of_Life_for_TLS_1.0_and_TLS_1.1

If you have not taken the necessary steps to update your platforms as required, you MAY NOT be able to connect to TrackAbout from older devices or servers.

We are hoping this change does not come as a surprise, as we have been communicating with all customers leading up to this change for several weeks. We have also invited customers to test in our QA and Customer-Facing Test environments.

Again, for complete details, please see https://meta.trackabout.com/wiki/Critical_Announcement:_TrackAbout_End_of_Life_for_TLS_1.0_and_TLS_1.1

Thank you.
