Avalara Inc. intends to deprecate TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 in December of 2022, which will break the connection to Avalara's AvaTax service for ERP 10.0.X.X through ERP 10.2.300.X customers and for those who use the older offerings of ERP 9 and Vantage / Vista 8. ( Reference article https://help.avalara.com/Frequently_Asked_Questions/Avalara_-_Knowledge_Base/ACTION_NEEDED%3A_Update_Transport_Layer_Security_to_TLS_1.2?origin=deflection ) The article mentions 1/15/2022 but, according to Epicor Support, Avalara have decided to delay End of Life for TLS 1.0 and for TLS 1.1 until December 2022.
Epicor policy-wise, Epicor ERP 9 and Vantage have been in sustaining support (as opposed to active support) for many years and therefore are not eligible for any type of development work or creation of an Epicor ERP patch to resolve the issue.
Can anyone think of a work around solution for implementing TLS 1.2 for E9? Perhaps using a proxy service or some intermediary measure?
