SAP Concur has published release notes for the Quick Expense v3, Budget v4, and Request APIs in the November 2019 release notes. More details can be found on the Release Notes page.
SAP Concur is announcing an end-of-support cycle for version 1.1 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption protocol, while continuing support for the more secure version 1.2 of TLS. As background, the TLS protocol allows secure back and forth communications between a phone or computer and a cloud-based service.
This change is currently planned for the first quarter of 2020.
SAP Concur is taking this step after careful consideration of our customers’ security and ease of upgrade to the newer, more secure version 1.2 of TLS. This end-of support plan for TLS v1.1 ensures our clients are communicating with SAP Concur solutions in a safer and more secure manner using TLS v1.2.
If the customer or user ensures they are using a TLS v1.2-compliant browser, there will be no change in the way users interact with SAP Concur. If the browser is not compliant, users may not be able to sign in to SAP Concur.
In general, the use of less-secure TLS connections can lead to exposed data, resulting in compromised sessions across any TLS channel of communication (for example, SAP Concur services). For this reason, SAP Concur is alerting the client now to ensure they may anticipate this change and begin assessment in order to comply with this change at their companies.
In general, browsers using TLS to establish inbound / outbound communication channels with SAP Concur services are affected, for example connections across:
The ability of a browser to comply by upgrade to TLS v1.2 will depend on the company’s support for the specific browser, for example Microsoft (Edge), Google (Chrome), and others.
A banner will display when a user attempts to log in using a browser that does not support TLS v1.2 and later and thus cannot negotiate a connection. The intent is to alert the user to this upcoming change using an informational-only message.
Transitioning to support for TLS v1.2 and later may simply require updating security settings of your browser. In most instances, the company already has the support in place and need only identify non-compliant browsers and upgrade these user’s browsers to newer versions.
Please check with the department in your company that is responsible for browser compliance and ensure they are aware of this upcoming change.
