Title: Does the Authorize.net AIM plugin meet 2016 AN Requirements?
Post by: mronayne on April 19, 2016, 20:11:33 PM
I've been receiving notices from Authorize.net about upcoming changes to their APIs and security cipher.
I am running version 3.0.6.4 of the Authorize.net AIM plugin now - does it meet the most current requirements of Authorize.net?

Here is the part about the RC4 Cipher:

RC4 Cipher Disablement
In an effort to ensure that all server-to-server communications with the Authorize.Net platform (both transactional and otherwise) maintain the highest levels of security, we will be disabling the RC4 cipher suite in the sandbox on April 29, 2016, and in the production environment on May 31, 2016.

If you have a solution that relies on RC4 to communicate with our servers, please update it to a current, high-security cipher as soon as possible. Please review our API best practices blog post for more information.

This is important to know...

Thanks, that is really helpful.

For what it is worth, the site runs 2.0.22a but the plugin reports 2.0.12f, and the client has to want to upgrade. Nothing comes for free.

Hi Neo,
GJC Web Design want to inform you, that in all case your shop is obsolete and if some changes are done in the code, this is certainly not vm 2.0.12 compatible(or you are lucky).
This was a little Joke, but a more standard answer is.
"Please update to VM 3.0.14 and Joomla 3.5, you release is not maintained anymore since End 2015 and have vulnerabilities"

I am commissioned to fix at least 1-2 hacked  sites a week..  believe me.. it costs much more in time and downtime and lost sales than an upgrade to the latest stable/secure...
Even in your case to bring it to the last J2.5 with patch and VM2.6.22 would IMHO be enough...

But leaving it on 2.0.x is just ... well.. u know my opinion
