Industry standards change
As ofJuly 31, 2019 (19:30 UTC), you must use the HTTP Practical Demonstration DCV method to demonstrate control over IP addresses on your certificate orders.
For more information about the HTTP Practical Demonstration DCV method, see these instructions:
Currently, industry standards used to allow you to use other DCV methods to demonstrate control over your IP address. However, with the passing of Ballot SC7, the regulations for IP address validation changed.
Ballot SC7: Update IP Address Validation Methods
This ballot redefines the permitted processes and procedures for validating the customer's control of an IP Address listed in a certificate. Compliance changes for Ballot SC7 go into effect on July 31, 2019 (19:30 UTC).
To remain compliant, as of July 31, 2019 (19:30 UTC), DigiCert only allows customers to use the HTTP Practical Demonstration DCV method to validate their IP addresses.
Removing Support for IPv6
As of July 31, 2019 (19:30 UTC), DigiCert has removed support for certificates for IPv6 addresses. Due to server limitations, DigiCert is unable to reach out to IPv6 address to verify the file placed on the customer's website for the HTTP Practical Demonstration DCV method.
We fixed a bug where the SSL/TLS certificate Order# details page and Order details panel weren't showing domain control validation as being completed after you finished validating the domains on your certificate order.
Note: This bug didn't stop your certificate orders from being issued after you completed the domain control validation.
Now, when you complete the domain control validation for the domains on your order, the Order# details page and Order details panel for the order show the domain validation as being completed.
(In the sidebar menu, click Certificates > Orders. On the Orders page, in the Order # column of the certificate order, click the order number or Quick View link.)
