April 2017 Request Professional Edition Admin Summary
Last Update: 25 April 2017
Request
Ignore New PNRs with Travel Request IDsWith this release, Concur will ignore PNRs on the Claim Queue or from TBF (Travelport Booking Feed) if they have a Request ID and do not yet exist in Concur.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: This change relieves a pain point for TMCs and clients. Historically, Concur has advised TMCs to not place PNRs on the Claim Queue or allow them to be sent via TBF if they were going to eventually appear on the Offline Approval Queue. That process proved unworkable.
After this release, TMCs will be able to create a PNR with a Request ID and let it flow to Concur normally without worrying about disrupting the approval process. Once the PNR is consumed from the Offline Approval Queue, Concur will accept future updates from the Claim Queue or TBF.

Supported Configurations
Support for TLS v 1.0 Encryption Protocol to End – DATE MOVED FOR THE US DATACENTRE
Please note these dates:
- EU datacentre: Completed on Tuesday, 4 April 2017
- US datacentre: MOVED TO Wednesday, 31 May 2017
Concur announces an End of Support cycle for version 1.0 of the TLS encryption protocol, continuing support for the more secure 1.1 and 1.2 versions of TLS. As background, the TLS protocol allows secure back and forth communications between a phone or computer and a cloud-based service.
Note that, since less than 1% of Concur users are logging in to Concur Solutions using browsers or phones limited to version 1.0, a very small number of users are affected by this support discontinuation.
Please note the new end of support date is May. We have moved the date in order to give our clients ample time to understand and make the required manual changes to their browser's security settings. These changes will be detailed in an upcoming service release.
Business Purpose / Client Benefit: Concur is taking this step after careful consideration of both the client’s security and ease of upgrade to the newer, more secure 1.1 and 1.2 versions of TLS. This end of life plan for TLS v 1.0 ensures our clients are communicating with Concur services in a safe and secure manner using TLS v. 1.1 and newer.
Internet Explorer 10 Deprecation – UI BannerAfter Concur has deprecated TLS 1.0 from concursolutions.com, Internet Explorer 10 will be queued for deprecation in August 2017. Microsoft deprecated Internet Explorer 10 as of 12 January 2016.
A banner will be added in Concur in April 2017 to notify remaining users of Internet Explorer 10 that their browser version will no longer be supported and to upgrade to Internet Explorer 11.
User/Customer Benefit: Upgrading to Internet Explorer 11 will enable companies to use a supported Microsoft browser that – by default – supports TLS 1.2.
**Coming Soon** Microsoft IE v.10 Browser Support Ends 18 August 2017Support for Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) version 10 browsers under Concur products will end on 18 August 2017. Concur strongly advises clients using IE v.10 to update to the latest IE browser version before that date, or to install and work with another supported browser.
