CertCentral to issue GeoTrust and RapidSSL DV certificates from new intermediate CA certificates
On May 24, 2022, between 9:00 am and 11:00 am MDT (3:00 pm and 5:00 pm UTC), DigiCert will replace the GeoTrust and RapidSSL intermediate CA (ICA) certificates listed below. We can no longer issue maximum validity (397-day) DV certificates from these intermediates.
Old ICA certificates
- GeoTrust TLS DV RSA Mixed SHA256 2020 CA-1
- GeoTrust TLS DV RSA Mixed SHA256 2021 CA-1
- RapidSSL TLS DV RSA Mixed SHA256 2020 CA-1
- RapidSSL TLS DV RSA Mixed SHA256 2021 CA-1
New ICA certificates
- GeoTrust Global TLS RSA4096 SHA256 2022 CA1
- RapidSSL Global TLS RSA4096 SHA256 2022 CA1
See the DigiCert ICA Update KB article.
How does this affect me?
Rolling out new ICA certificates does not affect your existing DV certificates. Active certificates issued from the replaced ICA certificates will remain trusted until they expire.
However, all new certificates, including certificate reissues, will be issued from the new ICA certificates. To ensure ICA certificate replacements go unnoticed, always include the provided ICA certificate with every TLS certificate you install.
No action is required unless you do any of the following:
- Pin the old versions of the intermediate CA certificates
- Hard code the acceptance of the old versions of the intermediate CA certificates
- Operate a trust store that includes the old versions of the intermediate CA certificates
Action required
If you practice pinning, hard code acceptance, or operate a trust store, update your environment as soon as possible. You should stop pinning and hard coding ICA certificates or make the necessary changes to ensure your GeoTrust DV and RapidSSL DV certificates issued from the new ICA certificates are trusted. In other words, make sure they can chain up to their new ICA certificate and trusted root.
See the DigiCert Trusted Root Authority Certificates page to download copies of the new Intermediate CA certificates.
What if I need more time?
If you need more time to update your environment, you can continue to use the old 2020 ICA certificates until they expire. Contact DigiCert Support, and they can set that up for your account. However, after May 31, 2022, RapidSSL DV and GeoTrust DV certificates issued from the 2020 ICA certificates will be truncated to less than one year.

CertCentral Report Library now available
We are happy to announce the CertCentral Report Library is now available for CertCentral Enterprise and CertCentral Partner.* The Report Library is a powerful reporting tool that allows you to download more than 1000 records at a time. Use the Report Library to build, schedule, organize, and export reports to share and reuse.
The Report Library includes six customizable reports: Orders, Organizations, Balance history, Audit log, Domains, and Fully qualified domain names (FQDN). When building reports, you control the details and information that appear in the report, configure the columns and column order, schedule how often you want the report to run (once, weekly, or monthly), and choose the report format (CSV, JSON, or Excel). In addition, you receive notices when the report is ready for download in your account.
To build your first report:
- In your CertCentral account, in the main menu, select Reports*.
Note: To use the Report Library, you must be a CertCentral administrator. CertCentral Managers, Finance Managers, Standard Users, and Limited Users do not have access to Reports in their accounts. - On the Report library page, select Build a report.
To learn more about building reports:
*Note: Don't see the Report Library in your account? Contact your account manager or our support team for help.
CertCentral Report Library API also available
We're pleased to announce the release of the CertCentral Report Library API! This new API service makes it possible to leverage key features of the Report Library in your CertCentral API integrations, including building reports and downloading report results*.
See our Report Library API documentation to learn more about including the Report Library in your API integrations.
*Note: To use the CertCentral Report Library API, Report Library must be enabled for your CertCentral account. For help activating the Report Library, contact your account manager or our support team.
Bugfix: Unique organization name check did not include assumed name
We updated our unique organization name check to include the assumed name (doing business as name) when creating an organization.
Before, in CertCentral and the CertCentral Services API, when you tried to create an organization with the same name as an existing organization, we returned an error and would not let you create the organization, even if the assumed name (DBA) was different.
Now, when you create an organization, we include the assumed name in the unique organization check. Therefore, you can create organizations with the same name, as long as each organization has a unique assumed name.
For example:
- First organization: No assumed name
- Name: YourOrganization
- Assumed name:
- Second organization: Name plus unique assumed name
- Name: YourOrganization
- Assumed name: OrganizationAssumedName
Creating organizations
In CertCentral and the CertCentral Services API, you can create an organization to submit for prevalidation or when you order a TLS/SSL certificate. This change applies to both processes.
CertCentral: DigiCert now issues client certificates from the DigiCert Assured ID Client CA G2 intermediate CA certificate
To remain compliant with industry standards, DigiCert had to replace the intermediate CA (ICA) certificate used to issue CertCentral client certificates.
CertCentral client certificate profiles that used the DigiCert SHA2 Assured ID CA intermediate CA certificate now use the DigiCert Assured ID Client CA G2 intermediate CA certificate. This change also changes the root certificate from DigiCert Assured ID Root CA to DigiCert Assured ID Root G2.
Old ICA and root certificates
- (ICA) DigiCert SHA2 Assured ID CA
- (Root) DigiCert Assured ID Root CA
New ICA and root certificates
- (ICA) DigiCert Assured ID Client CA G2
- (Root) DigiCert Assured ID Root G2
For more information, see DigiCert ICA Update. To download a copy of the new intermediate CA certificate, see DigiCert Trusted Root Authority Certificates.
Do you still need your client certificate to chain to the DigiCert Assured ID Root CA certificate? Contact your account representative or DigiCert Support.

Industry moves to 3072-bit key minimum RSA code signing certificates
Starting May 27, 2021, to comply with new industry standards for code signing certificates, DigiCert will make the following changes to our code signing certificate process.
- Stop issuing 2048-bit key code signing certificates
- Only issue 3072-bit key or stronger code signing certificates
- Use 4096-bit key intermediate CA and root certificates to issue our code signing certificates.
See Appendix A in the Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Code Signing Certificates to learn more about these industry changes,
How do these changes affect my existing 2048-bit key certificates?
All existing 2048-bit key size code signing certificates issued before May 27, 2021, will remain active. You can continue to use these certificates to sign code until they expire.
What if I need 2048-bit key code signing certificates?
Take these actions, as needed, before May 27, 2021:
- Order new 2048-bit key certificates
- Renew expiring 2048-bit key certificates
- Reissue 2048-bit key certificates
How do these changes affect my code signing certificate process starting May 27, 2021?
Reissues for code signing certificate
Starting May 27, 2021, all reissued code signing certificates will be:
- 3072-bit key or stronger. See eTokens for EV code signing certificates and HSMs for EV code signing certificates below.
- Automatically issued from new intermediate CA and root certificates. See New ICA and root certificates below.
New and renewed code signing certificates
Starting May 27, 2021, all new and renewed code signing certificates will be:
- 3072-bit key or stronger. See eTokens for EV code signing certificates and HSMs for EV code signing certificates below.
- Automatically issued from new intermediate CA and root certificates. See New ICA and root certificates below.
CSRs for code signing certificates
Starting May 27, 2021, you must use a 3072-bit RSA key or larger to generate all certificate signing requests (CSR). We will no longer accept 2048-bit key CSRs for code signing certificate requests.
eTokens for EV code signing certificates
Starting May 27, 2021, you must use an eToken that supports 3072-bit keys when you reissue, order, or renew an EV code signing certificate.
- When you order or renew an EV code signing certificate, DigiCert includes a 3072-bit eToken with your purchase. DigiCert provides an eToken with the Preconfigured Hardware Token provisioning option.
- When your reissue your EV code signing certificate reissues, you must provide your own 3072-bit eToken. If you don't have one, you will be unable to install your reissued certificate on your eToken.
- You must have a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 or Common Criteria EAL4+ compliant device.
HSMs for EV code signing certificates
Starting May 27, 2021, you must use an HSM that supports 3072-bit keys. Contact your HSM vendor for more information.
New ICA and root certificates
Starting May 27, 2021, DigiCert will issue all new code signing certificates from our new RSA and ECC intermediate CA and root certificates (new, renewed, and reissued).
RSA ICA and root certificates:
- DigiCert Trusted G4 Code Signing RSA4096 SHA384 2021 CA1
- DigiCert Trusted Root G4
ECC ICA and root certificates:
- DigiCert Global G3 Code Signing ECC SHA384 2021 CA1
- DigiCert Global Root G3
No action is required unless you practice certificate pinning, hard code certificate acceptance, or operate a trust store.
If you do any of these things, we recommend updating your environment as soon as possible. Stop pinning and hard coding ICAs or make the necessary changes to ensure certificates issued from the new ICA certificates are trusted (in other words, they can chain up to their issuing ICA and trusted root certificates).

CertCentral Services API: Auto-reissue support for Multi-year Plans
We are happy to announce that the CertCentral Services API now supports automatic certificate reissue requests (auto-reissue) for Multi-year Plans. The auto-reissue feature makes it easier to maintain SSL/TLS coverage on your Multi-year Plans.
You can enable auto-reissue for individual orders in your CertCentral account. When auto-reissue is enabled, we automatically create and submit a certificate reissue request 30 days before the most recently issued certificate on the order expires.
Enable auto-reissue for a new order
To give you control over the auto-reissue setting for new Multi-year Plans, we added a new request parameter to the endpoints for ordering DV, OV, and EV TLS/SSL certificates: auto_reissue.
By default, auto-reissue is disabled for all orders. To enable auto-reissue when you request a new Multi-year Plan, set the value of the auto_reissue parameter to 1 in the body of your request.
Example request body:
Note: In new order requests, we ignore the auto_reissue parameter if:
- The product does not support Multi-year Plans.
- Multi-year Plans are disabled for the account.
Update auto-reissue setting for existing orders
To give you control over the auto-reissue setting for existing Multi-year Plans, we added a new endpoint: Update auto-reissue settings. Use this endpoint to enable or disable the auto-reissue setting for an order.
Get auto-reissue setting for an existing order
To help you track the auto-reissue setting for existing certificate orders, we added a new response parameter to the Order info endpoint: auto_reissue. The auto_reissue parameter returns the current auto-reissue setting for the order.
ICA certificate chain selection for public DV flex certificates
We are happy to announce that select public DV certificates now support Intermediate CA certificate chain selection:
- GeoTrust DV SSL
- Thawte SSL 123 DV
- RapidSSL Standard DV
- RapidSSL Wildcard DV
- Encryption Everywhere DV
You can add a feature to your CertCentral account that enables you to control which DigiCert ICA certificate chain issues the end-entity certificate when you order these public DV products.
This feature allows you to:
- Set the default ICA certificate chain for each supported public DV certificate.
- Control which ICA certificate chains certificate requestors can use to issue their DV certificate.
Configure ICA certificate chain selection
To enable ICA selection for your account:
- Contact your account manager or our Support team.
- Then, in your CertCentral account, in the left main menu, go to Settings > Product Settings.
- On the Product Settings page, configure the default and allowed intermediates for each supported and available DV certificate.
For more information and step-by-step instructions, see the Configure the ICA certificate chain feature for your public TLS certificates.
DigiCert Services API: DV certificate support for ICA certificate chain selection
In the DigiCert Services API, we made the following updates to support ICA selection in your DV certificate order requests:
- Updated the Product list endpoint
After adding the ICA certificate selection chain feature to your account, the Product list endpoint returns each ICA certificate's name and ID available to issue end-entity certificates for the supported DV products (see allowed_ca_certs). - Updated the Product limits endpoint
After you configure the allowed and default ICA certificates for a DV product, the Product limits endpoint returns the default issuing ICA (default_intermediate) and allowed issuing ICAs (allowed_intermediates) that certificate requestor with a given container and user role assignment can select. - Updated the Product info endpoint
The Product list endpoint now returns the name, ID, and certificate chain information for the issuing ICAs you can select when you request a given product (see allowed_ca_certs). - Added support for ICA chain selection to these DV certificate order requests:
Pass in the issuing ICA certificate's ID as the value for the ca_cert_id parameter in your order request's body.
Example DV certificate request:
For more information about using ICA selection in your API integrations, see DV certificate lifecycle – Optional ICA selection.

DigiCert smette di emettere certificati di firma codice SHA-1
Martedì, 1° dicembre 2020 MST, DigiCert smetterà di emettere certificati di firma codice SHA-1 e SHA-1 EV.
Nota: Tutti i certificati di firma codice SHA-1/EV esistenti rimarranno attivi finché non scadono.
Perché DigiCert sta effettuando queste modifiche?
Per rispettare i nuovi standard industriali, le autorità di certificazione (CA) devono apportare le seguenti modifiche entro il 1° gennaio 2021:
- Interrompe l’emissione di certificati di firma codice SHA-1
- Interrompe l’utilizzo di certificati CA intermedi SHA-1 e radice SHA-1 per emettere certificati di firma codice e con indicazione di data e ora con algoritmo SHA-256
Consulta l’Appendice A nei Requisiti base per l’emissione e la gestione di certificati di firma codice pubblicamente attendibili.
In che modo le modifiche al certificato di firma codice SHA-1 mi interessano?
Se ti affidi ai certificati di firma codice SHA-1, esegui queste operazioni come necessario prima del 1° dicembre 2020:
- Richiedi i tuoi certificati SHA-1 nuovi
- Rinnova i tuoi certificati SHA-1
- Riemetti e richiedi i certificati SHA-1 necessari
Per ulteriori informazioni sulle modifiche del 1° dicembre 2020, consulta il nostro articolo di knowledgebase DigiCert interrompe l’emissione di certificati di firma codice SHA-1.
Se hai altre domande, contatta il tuo account manager o il nostro team di assistenza.

Sostituzione DigiCert dei certificati CA intermedi
Il 2 novembre 2020 DigiCert sostituisce un altro set di certificati CA intermedi (ICA). Per un elenco dei certificati ICA da sostituire, consulta il nostro articolo KB Aggiornamento ICA DigiCert.
In che modo mi interessa la questione?
L’implementazione di nuove ICA non interessa i certificati esistenti. Non rimuoviamo una vecchia ICA dagli archivi dei certificati finché tutti i certificati da lei emessi non sono scaduti. Ciò significa che i certificati attivi emessi dall’ICA sostituita continueranno ad essere attendibili.
Tuttavia, ciò interesserà i certificati esistenti se li riemetti quando saranno emessi dalla nuova ICA. Ti informiamo di includere sempre l’ICA fornita con ogni certificato che installi. Questa è sempre stata la best practice raccomandata per garantire che le sostituzioni ICA passino inosservate.
Non occorre alcuna azione a meno che non fai una delle seguenti operazioni:
- Blocca le versioni vecchie dei certificati CA intermedi
- Imposta come hard code l’accettazione delle versioni vecchie dei certificati CA intermedi
- Usa uno store di fiducia che includa le versioni vecchie dei certificati CA intermedi
Se esegui una delle suddette operazioni, raccomandiamo di aggiornare il tuo ambiente il prima possibile. Interrompi il blocco e l’hard code degli ICA o apporta le modifiche necessarie per garantire che i certificati emessi dalle nuove ICA sono attendibili (in altre parole, è possibile collegarli alla loro ICA aggiornata e alla radice attendibile).
Sostituzioni certificato CA intermedio
Verifica di monitorare le pagine elencate di seguito. Si tratta di pagine attive e vengono aggiornate regolarmente con le informazioni di sostituzione del certificato ICA e con le copie dei nuovi certificati CA intermedi DigiCert.
Perché DigiCert sostituisce i certificati CA intermedi?
Stiamo sostituendo le ICA per:
- Promuovere l’agilità del cliente con la sostituzione ICA
- Redurre l’ambito di emissione del certificato da qualsiasi determinata per mitigare l’impatto delle modifiche negli standard industriali e nelle linee guida del forum CA/Browser apportate ai certificati intermedi e di entità finale
- Migliorare la sicurezza di Internet garantendo che tutte le ICA operino usando gli ultimi miglioramenti
Se hai delle domande o dei dubbi, contatta il tuo account manager o il nostro team di assistenza.

Selezione della catena di certificati ICA per certificati OV ed EV flessibili pubblici
Siamo lieti di annunciare che i certificati EV ed OV pubblici con capacità flessibili ora supportano la selezione della catena dei certificati CA intermedi.
Puoi aggiungere un’opzione al tuo account CertCentral che ti consente di controllare quale catena dei certificati ICA DigiCert emette i tuoi certificati OV ed EV "flessibili" pubblici.
Questa opzione ti consente di:
- Impostare la catena dei certificati ICA predefinita per ciascun certificato OV ed EV flessibile pubblico.
- Controllare quali catene di certificati ICA possono essere usati dai richiedenti del certificato per emettere il loro certificato flessibile.
Configura la selezione della catena dei certificati ICA
Per disabilitare la selezione ICA per il tuo account, contatta il tuo account manager o il nostro team di assistenza. Dopodiché, nel tuo account CertCentral, nella pagina Impostazioni prodotto (nel menu principale a sinistra, vai in Impostazioni > Impostazioni prodotto), configurare l’impostazione predefinita e i certificati intermedi consentiti per ciascun tipo di certificato OV ed EV flessibile.
Per ulteriori informazioni le istruzioni dettagliate, consulta Opzione di catena di certificati ICA per certificati OV ed EV flessibili pubblici.
Supporto DigiCert Services API per la selezione della catena di certificati ICA
In DigiCert Services API, abbiamo effettuato i seguenti aggiornamenti per supportare la selezione ICA nelle tue integrazioni API:
- Creato nuovo endpoint Limiti di prodotto
Usa questo endpoint per ottenere le informazioni sui limiti e sulle impostazioni per i prodotti abilitati per ciascuna divisione nel tuo account. Ciò include valori ID per le catene dei certificati ICA consentiti e predefiniti di ciascun prodotto. - Supporto aggiunto per la selezione ICA nelle richieste di ordine certificato TLS OV ed EV flessibile pubblico
Dopo aver configurato i certificati intermedi consentiti per un prodotto, puoi selezionare la catena dei certificati ICA che dovrebbe emettere il tuo certificato quando usi l’API per inviare una richiesta di ordine.
Passa nell’ID del certificato ICA emittente come il valore per il parametroca_cert_idnel corpo della tua richiesta di ordine
Esempio di richiesta certificato flessibile:
