Download Globus Connect Personal 3 for Improved TLS Support
Globus Connect Personal comes in two flavors, version 2 and version 3. You probably already have version 2 installed right now! Before today, it was the default version that is downloaded when you set up a new Globus Connect Personal endpoint.
But Globus also has version 3, which brings an important feature: Globus Connect Personal version 3 requires TLS 1.2 or later. This mirrors the changes that are being made for web browsers and servers. Even more specialized users, like for credit-card processing and Stanford’s own MaIS services, now require at least TLS 1.1 or later.
