For those of you still running NT 4.0 SP1 with IIS 4 -----Original Message----- From: VeriSign Customer Support Department [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2006 07:28 AM Subject: Important Service Notice about your Secure Site Certificate
Dear VeriSign SSL Customer: In keeping with industry best practices and to continue providing you world-class SSL security, VeriSign is making an important change to the certificate hierarchy of your Secure Site SSL certificate. Secure Site SSL certificates (1, 2 and 3 year), issued on or after September 7, 2006, will be signed with a new intermediate certificate authority (CA). This new intermediate CA certificate will chain up to the VeriSign Public Certificate Authority (PCA) root that is present in all major web browsers and web servers. Who is affected by this change? ------------------------------- This change affects only existing and new customers who are using VeriSign Secure Site SSL certificates Customers using IIS web servers: -------------------------------------------------- If you are using Microsoft IIS 5.0 or 6.0 No action is required when you renew your Secure Site Certificate, since Microsoft IIS 5.0 and 6.0 automatically imports and installs the new intermediate CA certificate. If you are using IIS 4.0(not supported by Microsoft as of December 2004): Please note that you will need to manually install the intermediate CA certificate using a Microsoft tool. For detailed instructions, please go to http://www.verisign.com/support/ssl-certificates-support/page_dev020191.html . Customers using other Web Server (i.e. non-IIS): ------------------------------------------------------------------ If you are using any non-IIS web server you will have to go through a simple one-time installation of the New CA when you install you renewed Secure Site Certificate. This is consistent with the way VeriSign has been issuing retail Secure Site Pro and Managed PKI for SSL Premium Certificates for the past 2 years, and you will receive the necessary instructions upon issuance of your Secure Site Certificate. -------------------------------- For complete details and updates on the Secure Site intermediate CA certificate rollout plan, please see our "CA Update: Secure Site and Managed PKI for SSL Standard Certificate" advisory at www.verisign.com/support/advisories/page_029264.html Note: This notice is being sent to both the Technical Contact and Corporate Contact listed for the certificate. If you have purchased more than one SSL certificate from VeriSign, you may receive a message like this one for each of your SSL certificates.
