Help! How to disable SSL v3 on a shared server?


Recommended Posts

Many of you who use Authorize.net may have received a message from them saying that transactions will no longer be processed if the website/store uses allows SSL v3 (due to vulnerability to POODLE attacks). Does anyone know how to disable SSL v3 on a shared server? I have been exchanging emails with my hosting company for 2 days but they refuse to do anything and keep saying that it's my (non-existent) programmer or developer who needs to fix this.

The hosting company also said this:

"When your developer wrote the code to send transactions to Authorize.net they had to create connections to Authorize.net. There are multiple ways of doing this, the most common is through a PHP module called PHP cURL. When using cURL one of the options you can set is the SSL version to use."

 

Where is this PHP cURL module?

Thank you in advance!

This is the code I found in the module:

curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);

 

Does it need to be changed?

Thank you.

 

Oh, it is a paid module. I contacted the module developer and he said that it's the hosting company that needs to change settings.
