Important: SOAP Toolkit Update for Java Users {#so-p12-java-intro}
==================================================================

As part of ongoing Security Enhancements, we are planning to upgrade SOAP API authentication to P12 authentication. This upgrade is currently available for Java, C#, C++, and PHP.  
You can upgrade to P12 Authentication in your SOAP toolkit by doing the following:

* Create a P12 certificate.
* Update the files in your project directory.
* Add your certificate information to a *toolkit.properties* file in your project directory.
* Update your *pom.xml* file.
  {#so-p12-java-intro_d7e20}  
  You must upgrade the SOAP authentication to use P12 by these dates.  
  **Test**: April 14, 2025  
  **Production**: May 13, 2025
