Hi Ray, re the ciphers, you should be able to safely disable them.

One of the steps I take for new servers, or server rebuilds, is check them on SSLLabs.com. I then go through the process of disabling TLS 1.0, 1.1, and older ciphers on 1.2, until I get at least an A on the server from SSLLabs.

I haven't received any complaints yet from customers, and it keeps the PCI guys happy. :)

Hi Charles,

Thank you very much for your reply. I kind of figured that, my main concern is the cookie settings. Waiting on support to acknowledge, I don't want to switch and mess up the forms in AbleCommerce.

The server is pretty much secure, with a heavy-duty hardware firewall, and then the software firewall by Cloudflare. Just want to make sure I don't miss anything, since I'm now going out on my own for hosting.

Thanks

#1. Is making the setting on the cookie secure as opposed to Lax in any way going to mess up the operation of Ablecommerce?


This is not going to mess up with the Ablecommerce functionalities.

There is also a setting in Admin - Configure - SSLSettings
Enable SSL Redirection
Select Secure all pages
Enable Use Secure Cookies

Thank you.

Furthermore, just want to make sure that AbleCommerce or any of its plug-ins don't rely on the older TLS 1.0 or 1.1 protocols, I am assuming it's safe to disable them?

Thanks

Yes. We’ve not utilized TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 or weak cyphers for many years.

Thanks,
Thanks for your support!
