HeroDevs wrote that they will not be updating the Commerce UPS module to use the OAuth protocol in their never ending support.
What are the possibilities for this version of the module to move forward? I see the D8+ version has code to review for OAuth compatibility. Can some of that cross over?
I met with HeroDevs a few days ago to learn more about their Never Ending Support for Drupal 7 since it is to be EOL in January, 2024. I was told there has been interest expressed to them by multiple prospective clients about support for this module among the other modules they plan to support, but I haven't received an answer yet as to how/whether a rewrite of this module before then would be facilitated.
I have received three replies from rszrama for Centarro, with a nearly two week wait after I followed up additionally for each one excepting the first. Without having heard a precise figure yet, I can at least relate that updating the module would require compensating them for potentially weeks of work.
Thank you. I have written them and will post again after I receive a reply.
We are still interested in supporting this module being updated. EOL for D7 has been pushed several times now and it's reasonable to expect there could be more than seven months for continued use of this module.
What can we do to help get this issue resolved? We will soon be short on time.
Re: #7 - How much funding may be required and how shall it be raised? We are using this module and would like to see it updated.
Yes, UPS just sent this out:
UPS has implemented an OAuth 2.0 security model for all APIs to enhance the overall security for our customers to reduce fraud and provide enhanced API capabilities. This change impacts your current API integration and requires you to make updates to your existing application interface.
How will this impact my API integration?
• Beginning June 5, 2023, UPS will no longer issue API access keys
• On June 3, 2024, access keys will no longer be supported for authentication to UPS APIs
• You will need to obtain OAuth API credentials from the new UPS Developer Portal and update your security protocols to OAuth 2.0 prior to June 3, 2024 to continue transacting with UPS APIs
• Any legacy UPS API integrations using XML, SOAP, or legacy JSON payloads will also be required to convert to the RESTful APIs
We have created an API access key migration guide to assist with your migration from access keys to OAuth 2.0. If you obtained an access key to provide to a 3rd party please notify them of these changes immediately.
