</span>Here. ladies and gentleman, is a nerd that has never encountered the<br>
insanity and conflicting information that is PCI. Be quiet, we don't<br>
want to scare it.<br>
<br>
In all seriousness, yes, they will fail you if you have anything<br>
listening on a machine that accepts TLS1.0 connections. Or maybe they<br>
won't. You don't know until you pay the $5k for the audit. And if they<br>
DO fail you, you have to fix it. So I'm guessing that is where Bradley<br>
is now. His PCI auditors have said 'No TLS1.0 on this server', and<br>
that's the end of the discussion.<br>
<br>
You don't get to reason with these people. They are accountants that<br>
run scripts and have a checklist. Common sense does not enter into<br>
the equation.<br>
