Authorize.Net plans to disable TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1

This is the email I received from authorize.net. How does this affect my PowerStore? How do I check? What do I need to do?

Email from Authorize.net

As you may be aware, new PCI DSS requirements state that all payment systems must disable early TLS by 2018.

In preparation for this requirement, Authorize.Net plans to disable TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 on the following dates:

Sandbox: April 30, 2017
Production: September 18, 2017

We are disabling the sandbox in advance of production to allow you and your merchants time to test your solutions and ensure you are no longer using TLS 1.0 or 1.1.

Please check the code for your solutions and systems to confirm that they can default to TLS 1.2 for your API connections.

You can review our API Best Practices for details about TLS 1.2 platform support and other integration suggestions.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for being an Authorize.Net partner.

Sincerely,
Authorize.Net

Our code uses CURL to communicate with authorize.net. CURL will automatically detect and use the latest version of TLS installed. Any major hosting provider will have updated their openssl and TLS version, so you shouldn't haven any problems.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...
