? About Upcoming UPS Security Upgrade

["Alvin Strasburger" <alvins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   We have been using HTTPAPI v1.21 since about September of 2007 to
   communicate with some UPS web services.  Ups has announced an upcoming
   Secuirty update as copied below.  Can anyone on the list advise
   whether this is an issue that should concern us?


   Thanks Scott for the great tool and any advice anyone may offer on
   this issue.

   EXCERPT from UPS EMAIL of 3/22:

   UPS OnLine^® Tools Security Update Reminder

   UPS is moving to chained Digital Certificates as part of an industry
   wide initiative to improve security when using the Internet. The
   change requires your system to support Secured Socket Layer (SSL) v3.0
   to be compatible with the new Digital Certificates.
   We are resending this communication to remind you that SSL v2.0 will
   be disabled and Chained Digital Certificates will be implemented on
   UPS servers on May 19, 2009. Action may be required to ensure that
   this change does not interrupt your use of UPS OnLine Tools.
   The majority of customers' systems already support SSL v3.0 and will
   be able to support the new certificates without issue. If you are
   unsure about whether you are prepared for this change, you can
   validate your configuration by connecting to the UPS Customer
   Integration Environment (CIE). You can access the CIE for your tool by
   using the URL provided below followed by the name of your tool.
