What is this change?  

At Zuora, our customers trust is our #1 value, and we take the protection of our customers' data very seriously. To maintain the highest security standards and promote the protection of your data, we occasionally need to make security improvements and deprecate older SSL and encryption protocols. To maintain alignment with industry standard best practices and comply with PCI DSS requirements, Zuora will disable the use of TLS 1.1 for inbound connections to Zuora as well outbound callouts from Zuora.

Phase 1 - Zuora Billing API Sandbox and all NON production Zuora Billing environments

On Monday October 26, 2020 from 8 AM PST - 1 PM PST, we will begin to enforce TLS 1.2 protocol only and disable TLS 1.1 connections

Phase 2 - Zuora Billing - All Production environments

On Saturday November 14 2020 from 4 PM PST - 9 PM PST, we will begin to enforce TLS 1.2 protocol only and disable TLS 1.1 connections. 

This is a notification that there will be a maintenance to rotate SSL certificates for the following endpoints on Thursday August 20th between 5:00pm and 7:00pm PT
