That bug definitely gets an honorable mention.

Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] VCS 8.2 won't accept Trusted CA Cert with expiration 
date of 40 years from now - shows it as expired Dec 31, 1969

Brian,

Looks like this https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCup81787 and there is a 
fix in the next version.

The intermediate cert (expires in 20 yr) is loaded fine, when loading the root 
cert (expires in 40 yr) it says its already expired in 1969 !

Is there a limit on the length of a Cert or perhaps just a bug in code ?
Anyone run into this before ?
This is the longest I've seen someone sign a cert for.  Is this common to use 
such a long duration ?
I have a TAC case open, still waiting to be contacted by them.



First thought would be 32-bit UNIX time wrapping in 2038.  Pretty sure that VCS 
is based on Linux.  The 20 year cert would be within that range, the 40 year 
one wouldn't be.  I'd be curious if both of them being 20 years resolves it.

And I chuckled when I read it, we're going through headaches with certs and 
renewals/replacements right now, and I really wish I could do 40 years on them 
so I would be long gone before they expired and had to be replaced again.  ;-)
