ArcPad

SHA-1 certificate no longer supported

Secured feature services and ArcPad Packages hosted in ArcGIS Online will continue to be available to users on devices that support SHA-2 certificates. This security type is available on Windows (XP, 7, 8.1, 10) and Windows Embedded HandHeld 6.5 devices that have been patched by the manufacturer. Devices with operating systems older than Windows Embedded HandHeld 6.5 cannot be patched. Devices that only support SHA-1 certificates, can not use secured feature services and ArcPad Packages hosted in ArcGIS Online.

This is an industry wide action to improve internet security. The following article describes Microsoft's position. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2986556. Esri has made contact with many hardware manufacturers who already provide, or are working on SHA-2 patches for Windows Embedded HandHeld 6.5 models. If you have questions about the availability of the SHA-2 patch for your Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 device we encourage you to contact the manufacturer.
