===Discontinuing Support for TLS1.0===
 +
In order to maintain the security posture of your server we will be discontinuing support for the TLS1.0 SSL protocol. We previously discontinued support for SSLv3 and introduced TLS1.0, TLS1.1, and TLS1.2 and are now discontinuing TLS1.0. This change will be transparent and not affect anyone keeping their computer up to date with the latest component and security patches available, which should be all our customers and community. SSL is the communication methodology employed between your web browser and server to communicate securely and privately. For more information on whether you will be affected by this change you can visit the following site to check whether your current web browser is compatible with TLS1.1 or TLS1.2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:TLS/SSL_support_history_of_web_browsers
