This is a heads up for everybody using java 6 o 7, (unless you have an extended support contract with Oracle), to integrate with BBLearn in SaaS using the REST API. You'll get a handshake exception since 10-9-18 in the test servers, (mine last a little more until a full systems restart in our side, 3 days more), and this is expected to happen in production environments from the next 24-9-18.
We should have reviewed the bulletins in order to be aware about this issue, but you know... a lot of projects and emails at the same time...
So unless you're able to upgrade your jvm to 6u111 or 7u131 you'll need to migrate your integration to Java 8.
For what it's worth, this may also impact SIS Framework as well. Be sure that whatever process you're using to upload to the SIS Framework endpoints is TLS 1.2 (we had to update our PowerShell scripts to force them to use it).
