Important Change Information for Westpac iLink SFTP Customers

Scheduled for Nov 26, 11:00 - 12:00 AEDT

Scheduled

As has been previously communicated, the deprecated ciphers that are currently supported for sftp connections to ssiw-alt.qvalent.com will be disabled during the maintenance window of 11:00am to 12:00pm AEST on Tuesday 26th November. Westpac will no longer support SHA1 hashing and CBC ciphers for customer SFTP incoming connections in Production.

This change was already applied to the production server ssiw.qvalent.com on the 17th September 2024 - customers currently connecting to ssiw.qvalent.com will not be affected by the upcoming configuration change.

NOTE: This is a configuration change relating purely to deprecated ciphers, NOT a system outage
