The upgraded Anaplan Snap Pack will only support v2.0 APIs with basic and certificate authority (external certificate) authentication and will not support the Anaplan-generated certificate option as this is only supported in v1.3 API that expires soon. We are proactively reaching out to SnapLogic customers so you can plan ahead and either switch to basic authentication or have the external certificate ready to be used when we release the upgraded Anaplan Snap Pack as part of November 2018 (4.15) release.
