NEW: Important Security Update for Portal and Direct Integration Users of UCDP
Effective Sunday, January 12, 2020, we have updated the Uniform Collateral Data Portal® (UCDP®) website security settings to align with industry-wide best practices, and support our ongoing commitment to maintain the strongest possible security infrastructure. This change will affect your ability to access UCDP if you are not using supported browser settings.
What has changed?The TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 security protocols have been disabled as of January 12, 2020. Users must use a browser that is TLS 1.2 encryption enabled.
How can I ensure that my browser will be fully supported?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 UCDP. Other browsers (e.g., Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Safari) may still work but are not fully supported.
Will platforms with a Direct Integration with UCDP be affected?TLS 1.0 and 1.1 have been disabled for Direct Integrations to UCDP on January 12, 2020. Instructions have been sent to all UCDP Direct Integration vendors to test their connection with TLS 1.2 and ensure they will not be impacted by this change. Please contact your platform vendor if you have additional questions.
This communication relates to the Uniform Mortgage Data Program®, an effort undertaken jointly by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac at the direction of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
