TLS 1.2 Requirements *Not required for Vertical Booking
TLS 1.2 requirements work both ways - outgoing and incoming. Customers with 2 Way Push OTA / HTNG Reservation Interface (Travelclick and Synxis) are running IIS on one of their computers. TLS 1.2 will soon be required for incoming connections from your CRS vendor on this computer. You must check with the appropriate vendor to determine the TLS cutoff date for reservation delivery to your server. If you are a Cloud Hosted customer there is nothing you need to do because we take care of this. This is different than the TLS 1.2 requirements for credit card processing because those requirements only affect outgoing connections. The requirements discussed here are for incoming connections into your computer that's running IIS. Meeting this requirement is simple but may require your IT professional's assistance.
SSL Certificate Requirements
*Not required for Vertical Booking All CRS companies that we work with require a valid SSL certificate to be installed on your server for PUSH delivery of reservations. PUSH delivery means that they connect to your server and deliver the reservations. Please ask your CRS vendor which type of interface you have with them. It's your responsibility to obtain, install and maintain this SSL certificate into the SSL site created for the interface. Make yourself a reminder of the date that this certificate expires so that you can renew it before this date and avoid any issues with reservation delivery from the CRS. If you're not familiar with how to obtain an SSL certificate, your IT professional should be able to help you. You can also contact the company that your domain is registered though and they may be able to sell you a certificate.
The company you purchase the SSL from should provide instructions on installing the SSL certificate in IIS. Google also has many resources and here are a couple links that Google provides. http://https//docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/how-to-set-up-ssl-on-iis

Checked if you want to use the specified rate code with the interface. YOU MUST USE AT LEAST 1 RATE. The interface will only update a single RatePlanCode for each PMS Rate Code. For example, PMS Rate Code 2 can update the CRS RatePlanCode "RACK" but not both "RACK" and "AARP". Ask your CRS vendor about linked rates. These linked rates might be 10% lower or $5.00 less than the master rate that the PMS updates. By using linked rates, the PMS can update the CRS RatePlanCode "RACK" with PMS rate code 2, which will cause all of the CRS RatePlanCodes that are linked to "RACK" to be updated as well. *In all cases, regardless of the rate or rate code, we will post the dollar amount provided by the CRS. This ensures that the guest will always be charged the rate they agreed to when booking even if there is a miss-match in the PMS.
