The access to the last group (Apply with LinkedIn) now requires a special permission from LinkedIn.

Without the explicit permission from LinkedIn you can no longer retrieve data like for example a user’s job skills, certifications, patents and other information.

Requesting these details from LinkedIn without having the permission to do so will display an error to your users and prevent them from logging in. For this reason we have now disabled the corresponding options in the LinkedIn settings of our customers.

If your website or mobile application relies on that data, then you must request the permission to use it from LinkedIn and then re-enable the corresponding options in your OneAll LinkedIn Settings.

LinkedIn has also removed the possibility to retrieve the user’s contacts and to use direct messaging. These features are no longer functional will be removed from the LinkedIn settings: Send messages/invitations, Read Connections.

These changes do not require you to modify your OneAll site. OneAll takes take of the technical implementation and we have already adapted our system to the new LinkedIn API.

However, if your website or mobile app currently relies on LinkedIn contact or direct messaging features, you must double-check your setup to make sure that it still works as intended.

Several months ago we already added the possibility to switch to the newer Google+ protocol simply by setting up Google in your OneAll account. This setup was optional but has now become a requirement as Google has shutdown OpenID.

More about these changes here:
https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OpenID2Migration

OpenID can no longer be used to login with Google accounts. OpenID 2.0 support was shut down in order to focus on the newer open standard OpenID Connect, which provides greater security for your account.

Due to this change you now have to setup Google in your OneAll account if you want to use or continue using the Google+ login on your website. Besides the one-time setup you don’t need to take any other action, we take care of the technical background.

If you see any errors while using OneAll to login with Google then please login to your OneAll account and follow the Google setup guide.

By linking services together, you can automate tasks – such as adding users to a MailChimp subscriber list after they have logged in with Social Login. These triggers are called automatically without you having to remember to do them each time.

It’s a really efficient way of using the social network profile data that Social Login provides. More information is available in our Zapier Integration Guide.

It’s called POODLE (Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption) and exploits a vulnerability in one of the Internet’s security protocols (SSL or more commonly known as https in your browser) and could potentially give an attacker access to sensitive information.

In order to protect our users from the POODLE vulnerability in SSL, we have disabled support for SSLv3 across our entire platform.

You don’t need to take any action regarding our site or services. This change will prevent attackers from exploiting the vulnerability and keep SSL sessions secure.

The downside to this is that very old systems, starting with Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows XP, do not support any version of TLS. These browsers will not be able to make an HTTPS connection through our servers.

This is an extremely small portion of Internet users (less than 0.1% of all users) and these users should consider installing an modern browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.

Both browsers support newer SSL standards and are not impacted by this change.

The following is a snippet from heartbleed.com on the Heartbleed bug.

The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet. SSL/TLS provides communication security and privacy over the Internet for applications such as web, email, instant messaging (IM) and some virtual private networks (VPNs).

The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop on communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users.

OneAll is not affected

We are happy to confirm that the SSL version used by the OneAll platform is not affected by this bug. You don’t need to take any action regarding our site or services.
