There are typical methodologies of designing in advance "cut-off periods" like of 2 hours or more, where you change the configuration on your side and ask people to test then. That will give you a far better picture of what you need to do and even catch other problems you don't envision yet. Alternatively, a good webserver could "sniff out" the TLS handshake and specially the ClientHello and respond with different things depending on who asks. This allows smooth migration. | |
