On 2 December 2014 08:00 SAST (06:00 UTC) all servers in the Registry will be updated with the latest SSLv3 “POODLE” vulnerability patches.
This means that any connections made using SSLv3 will be rejected. Only connections using TLSv1 will be accepted (TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 coming soon, Legacy SSLv2Hello commands will still be accepted). The updates are live on all the OT&E servers for testing purposes.
