Hi team,

I have a question re the CBSubs compatibility with the forthcoming IPN (Instant Payment Notification) changes by PayPal. Having used both CBSubs and PayPal for many years, I received the following message from PayPal

I'd like to ask if CBSubs will continue to just work fine or if I need to make any changes to my configuration of CBSubs so that it copes with the new PayPal system?

Thank you very much!

PS The message from PayPal is below:


PayPal service upgrades.

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!

.......

Full technical details can be found in our < www.paypal-knowledge.com/resources/sites/PAYPAL/content/live/FAQ/1000/FAQ1766/en_US/2015%20Merchant%20Security%20System%20Upgrade%20Guide%20%28U.S.%20English%29.pdf ​>Merchant Security System Upgrade Guide. In addition, our < www.paypal-knowledge.com/infocenter/index?page=content&id=FAQ1766&expand=true&locale=en_US >2015-2016 SSL Certificate Change microsite contains a schedule of our service upgrade plan.
