The other IBM servers you use for getting products and service, and those for the testcase, ecurep, and Blue Diamond servers will also expire over the next several months. Normally, impending expiration is not be a big deal; IBM just gets new certificates ahead of the expiration dates, and you never notice. However, as I understand it, DigiCert acquired GeoTrust. All the IBM server certificates in question are GeoTrust certificates. There is rather more to the story, but the net is that IBM will replace all its GeoTrust certificates with new ones from DigiCert. This has already been done for one RECEIVE ORDER server, eccgw02.rochester.ibm.com. The GeoTrust CA certificate will no longer work with this server. To continue to use the servers as the certificates are replaced with new ones from DigiCert, you will need to get and install a new DigiCert Global Root CA certificate. If you use the eccgw02.rochester.ibm.com RECEIVE order server, you can buy some time by using eccgw01.boulder.ibm.com instead until you get the new CA certificate. Look for a WSC Flash later today (I hope) with more-detailed information and instructions. We will update it as we learn more, but the next deadline is some time in April, when we are likely to replace additional server certificates. As I understand it, they must all be done by August. We believe the required action, to get and install a new DigiCert Global Root CA certificate, will not change. My recommendation is that you start the process to do that soon so that you do not lose access to the IBM servers. -- John Eells IBM Poughkeepsie [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN **CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL** **DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails** This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
