Re: ? About Upcoming UPS Security Upgrade

[Michael Ryan <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

   Best advice is give it a try. Change the URL to the CIE environment
   and give it a test. You probably won't have any problems, but that's
   the way to find out for sure.

       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.
