TOPIC: Paypal SHA-256 changes

Hello,
I'm a DT Regoister user, version 3.0.9a;
I received an email from Paypal that told me something about SHA-256 changes in Paypal.

Check it at www.paypal-knowledge.com/infocenter/inde...766&viewlocale=en_US

Support SHA-256. PayPal is upgrading SSL certificates on all Live and Sandbox endpoints from SHA-1 to the stronger and more robust SHA-256 algorithm. You will need to update your integration to support certificates using SHA-256.
Discontinue use of the VeriSign G2 Root Certificate. In accordance with industry standards, PayPal will no longer honor secure connections that require the VeriSign G2 Root Certificate for trust validation. Only secure connection requests that are expecting our certificate/trust chain to be signed by the G5 Root Certificate will result in successful secure connections.

So will I need to apply any changes to our installation or not?

Kind regards,
Matt

Hey Matt,

You'll need to upgrade to a later version most likely. DTRegister doesn't patch older versions, they release a newer version which has bug fixes/improvements/ and modifications for situations like the PayPal SHA change.

Yes, you need to have the latest build of DT Register in place, but some of the recent changes we've made address this PayPal change so nothing else is needed.

Hi,
I would like to have confirmation about this fact:

As per your previous reply I need to upgrade to latest version of DT Register and I DON'T need to check nothing more for example on hosting provider.



Is it correct?

Kind regards

That is correct.
