We just received a new email from Paypal:
As we have previously communicated to you, PayPal is upgrading the certificate for www.paypal.com to SHA-256. This endpoint is also used by merchants using the Instant Payment Notification (IPN) product.
This upgrade is scheduled for 9/30/2015; however, we may need to change this date on short notice to you to align to the industry security standard.
You’re receiving this notification because you’ve been identified as a merchant who has used IPN endpoints within the past year. If you have not made the necessary changes, we urge you to do so right away to avoid a disruption of your service!
Because these changes are technical in nature, we advise that you consult with your individuals responsible for your PayPal integration. They will be able to identify what, if any, changes are needed. Please share this email and the hyperlinks below with your technical contact for evaluation.
Testing in the Sandbox is one of the best ways to make sure your integration works. Sandbox endpoints have been upgraded to accept secure connections by the SHA-256 Certificates.
-----------------------------------------------------------
We are running V12 r2.2
Do we need to upgrade SS or will all this pass with no big hiccups? We use Paypal Express and I assume that is why we are getting this email.
I am assuming this is all part of the same Cert upgrade they are doing, and SS should be fine with the new certs, but please let me know if I should not be assuming this
.Thanks for the help, or pointer to where this information is.
