'Connection to Podio API failed: [35] Unknown

Question

Using simple podio api things, but overnight I have this message:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PodioConnectionError' with message 'Connection to Podio API failed: [35] Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to api.podio.com:443

No SSL have changed from my part, and as long as I know, podio api is the same since 2015...

Thanks!

Answer 1

Podio have disabled TLS 1.0 - the last bit was done yesterday. TLS 1.0 was deprecated a while ago, and it's end of life was set to June 2018.

Details are here: https://help.podio.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360003048772-API-Security-Update

Podio will also disable TLS 1.1 some day, so if you are upgrading - move to latest TLS 1.2.

It is very likely that you are using some old TLS stack with no support for TLS 1.2 or that you've explicitly setup your system to use TLS 1.0 only. From Podio Help Centre:

What you need to do by 27 June 2018
Ensure you are using TLS 1.1 as a minimum, though we recommend upgrading to TLS 1.2. This applies to private, public and partner applications connecting to the Podio API.
