HTTPS Certificate Changes

To protect confidentiality and integrity of customer data and SaaS services, Marketo follows SaaS industry best practices

and will replace currently used security protocols (SHA-1 and SSL) with more secure versions (SHA-2 (a.k.a. SHA-256) and TLS) for the following domains:

  • marketo.net (encrypted Munchkin traffic)

  • marketo.com (main SaaS applications)

This will happen shortly after this release. SHA-1 protocol will be temporally supported on mktoapi.com domain until December, 2015 to allow owners of legacy systems and applications to update their systems with SHA-2 compatibility.

Secure Munchkin

We are removing our support for SSL3. We have maintained SSL3 up until now to maintain support for old web browsers, but in 2015 we are no longer seeing significant web traffic from those browsers. This would only affect Munchkin when used on secure pages, and will roll out slowly after the February release.

Select the pages you would like your real-time campaign to display on using ‘Add a Target URL’.

It supports adding multiple URLs to target different web pages.
