General System      
23637 Tender Requirements check boxes are incorrect 2.1.1 Labels are added in each tender type.
23384 Currently, after importing SSL certificate files in TTK and restarting Apache, the Proxy fails to load the certificate, causing an error 2.0.1.1632

Comment out the CertificateFile and CertificateKeyFile info in the [SSL] section of the PrismProxy.ini file, located in C:\ProgramData\RetailPro\HardwareServices\conf.
Here is a sample of part of a PrismProxy.ini file. The semicolon character at the start of the CertificateFile and CertificateKeyFile lines indicates those lines are commented out.
[SSL]
DomainName=retailpro.com
TLSVersion=TLSv1.2
;CertificateFile=XXXXXX.crt
;CertificateKeyFile=XXXXXX.key
[Browser]
URL=http://XXXXXXXX

After commenting out the certificate information, save the changes. You can now start the proxy normally. The proxy will no longer attempt to load the certificate into its internal server but will create an unsecure server instance instead. The connection from the browser to the proxy will appear unsecured, even though the connection from the proxy to the Prism server will remain secure. This is exactly how the proxy behaves when running on a separate workstation which is directed to a secure Prism server. As a result, the browser connection through the proxy will not indicate that the server is secure.  To confirm that the server is secure, you can test running the browser directly against the server; this should indicate a secure connection.

Now, using the "Use Zone Names" flag on the import settings, retailers can use the Zone Name to identify zones included in the import.
By default, the "Use Zone Names" flag is disabled, which means zones are identified by the system-assigned number for the import.
If the "Use Zone Names" flag is enabled, it means zones are represented by name in the map file.
