Advance Notice - Action Required

As part of ongoing security updates, we will remove weak and deprecated SSH cipher suites from the next release of Reporting and Analytics (20.1.15) and Inventory Management (9.1.37). The cipher suites are used to securely establish sFTP server connections and to encrypt the data transfer through sFTP.

These changes could affect your:

  • Custom exports

  • Legacy standard exports

  • Self-service exports

  • Gift and Loyalty segmentation exports

  • sFTP connections within Business-to-Business (B2B) or Closed Financial Periods in Inventory Management.

Note:

If you use your own sFTP server or a third-party sFTP server, you must check its compliancy to avoid business interruption. Your exports might fail if you do not follow the corrective actions to the sFTP servers described below.

If you use an Oracle Food and Beverage-provided sFTP account, you do not need to make any changes. Oracle Food and Beverage-provided sFTP services are already configured with the appropriate SSH cipher suites.

Corrective Actions

As the receiver of exports, you must contact the owner(s) or administrator(s) of the sFTP servers you are using and refer them to Secure Protocols in the Oracle MICROS Enterprise Back Office Security Guide. This page lists the supported ciphers, the ciphers we are removing, and the ciphers we are adding.

The sFTP servers used to receive files sent from Oracle MIRCROS Reporting and Analytics and Inventory Management must be configured to negotiate SSH connections using a collection of supported key exchange, host key, encryption, and MAC algorithms compatible with current releases of Reporting and Analytics and Inventory Management and upcoming releases (that is, 20.1.15 and 9.1.37).

If weak or deprecated ciphers are enabled on the server, you must disable them once Reporting and Analytics is upgraded to 20.1.15 and Inventory Management is upgraded to 9.1.37.

It is strongly recommended that you follow these corrective actions as soon as possible to avoid interruptions in your business processes and integrations.
