News Updates
NEW: Important Security Update for EAD Portal and Direct Integration Users. Effective Sunday, June 7, 2020, we are making a change to the Electronic Appraisal Delivery Portal (EAD) website security settings to align with industry-wide best practices and our ongoing commitment to maintain the strongest possible security infrastructure. This change will affect your ability to access the EAD Portal if you are not using supported browser settings. What is changing? The TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 security protocols will be disabled as of June 7, 2020, after which time users must use a browser with TLS 1.2 encryption enabled. What do I need to do? All recent web browsers support TLS 1.2 by default. We strongly recommend you use the latest supported version of Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE 11) as the preferred/supported browser for EAD. Other browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Safari may also work but are not fully supported. I also use a platform that has a Direct Integration with EAD; is that affected? TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 will also be disabled for Direct Integrations to EAD on June 7, 2020. Instructions have been sent to all EAD Direct Integration vendors to test and ensure they are connecting with TLS 1.2 and will not be impacted by this change. Please contact your platform vendor if you have additional questions.
