RE: V7R1 is not supported anymore (at least for SSL ciphers)

Hi Rob,

One of our drivers is that Apple was supposedly requiring all new or updated iOS applications that use HTTP / HTTPS to use HTTPS TLS 1.2 or later, starting January 2017. However, they may now be backing away from this requirement.

Either drop support and make it well known or make the updates. SSL of all things we KNOW is going through huge changes and this past quarter was a deadline for most to update and get current.

Question: Do we have notification letters, etc from trading partners which state such things as:
"DoWe, Cheatem, and Howe will only accept the following ciphers after YYYY-MM-DD"?
I can understand such a notification getting lost in the shuffle but it would be nice to know if they've made a good faith effort.
I think we got dinged by an important customer we do sftp with on a related issue.
