Notes from the field: Be Proactive! Apple ATS is coming

For those who are not aware Apple has an upcoming change regarding App Transport Security (ATS)
https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=12212016b
The date it should be in effect was originally January 2017… but was pushed back for migration purposes, and the new date is yet a mystery.

It will have impact! Be proactive and check your XenMobile / NetScaler environments:

– NetScaler 11.1 will be the preferred build for TLS1.2 and the ECDHE cipher suites
– XenMobile 10.4 RP4 and XenMobile 10.5 have the TLS1.2 and ECDHE cipher suites (plus ATS hotfix)

Once ATS is enforced, Apple will require at least one cipher suite enabled from a specific list of cipher suites. Apple supported ATS cipher suites are:
· TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
· TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
· TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384
· TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
· TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
· TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
· TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
· TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
· TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384
· TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
· TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA

If SSL-Offloading is used in combination with XenMobile, remember that 11.1 is the preferred build.
