A while back, I wrote on this topic, "IBM is working with the CA to
determine whether there is a path to success that does not require
everyone using RECEIVE ORDER to obtain and install the DigiCert root CA
certificate."
Well, it was touch and go, but very late this afternoon, the server team
obtained and installed new certificates from the CA that buy at *least*
several months before you will actually need a different root CA to use
the RECEIVE ORDER servers. This applies to both the Boulder and
Rochester servers. Testing was successful, so the emergency is over for
the moment.
However, we are looking into exactly what will happen with other servers
you use, and it is clear that some actions on your part will be required
in the not-so-distant future. We will update the Flash as the plans are
fleshed out and try to provide plenty of warning. I encourage you all
to keep an eye on it as it's updated.
