Phase One
The Deprecation Support for Legacy Devices was conducted during Q2 2022, where Appspace had started phasing out support for the TLS 1.0/1.1 (Transport Layer Security) protocols. After Q3 2022 (30th Sept 2022), Appspace no longer supported TLS 1.0/1.1 connections to the platform, with organizations recommended to retire their legacy devices for newer devices that supported the TLS 1.2+ protocol, or use a reverse proxy server.
Phase Two
Phase Two sees the complete termination for support for legacy devices that will take place in Q3 2023 (July 31st 2023), in which the these legacy devices will cease to operate on the Appspace platform, including those that currently remain online and connected as per the transitional configurations options recommended in during the deprecation of support for TLS 1.0/1.1 protocol.
