Additional minor UI and functional fixes
November 15, 2023
DigiCert® ONE version: 1.6392.4 | CA Services: 1.622.0
New
Disable and Reenable
Roots and ICAs now may be “Disabled” - which suspends any issuance, signing or CRLs and OCSP Responses or other use of the certificate until and unless it is reenabled. Disabled CA certificates show “Disabled” status in the Root or ICA table, and do not appear in dropdown menus.
To disable or reenable a CA, select the option from the 3 dot button on that certificate’s detail page.
Revoke CA
ICAs now may be “Revoked”—this option is selected from the 3 dot button on that certificate's details page.
Revoking is a two-person effort, one admin requests the revocation, supplies the appropriate reason code and any details, and selects an approver. The approver will receive an email with the revocation request and a link. They then can approve or deny the request.
Only private trust CAs revoked with the reason “On Hold” can later be un-revoked. Otherwise the revoke is permanent.
注記
To prevent the system from signing OCSP, CRL or using the revoked CA, the CA will also be disabled as part of the process.
Qualified statement support for private certificates
CA services now supports the full range of qualified statements for use in end-entity certificates
ETSI-compliant Qualified statement support
[On-premises only] Additionally, end-entity templates, following ETSI requirements, exist to support issuance of Qualified Natural Persons and Qualified Legal Persons certificates. OCSP utilizes ArchiveCutoff
(with the date set to the parent CA’s notBefore
date), and CRLs are full-and-complete. The ExpiredCertsOnCRL
extension options (see below) is also an option.
CA revocation results in all child certificates, subordinate CA and End-entities, to be revoked; after which a final CRL is published and then the CA is revoked. As noted above revoking a CA is a request and approval process.
注記
These templates follow ETSI guidelines, but are only Qualified-compliant subject to the on-premises customer passing ETSI audit to function as a QTSP.
Enhancements
CRL extension: ExpiredCertOnCRL
[On-premises only] Private and Qualified trust certificate CRLs now may optionally use the CRL extension ExpiredCertonCRL
, that retains the status of certificates for selected durations after they expire. Both Partition scope CRLS and full-and-complete CRLs support this extension. In this first release, the option must be selected during CA creation, from the CRL settings by selecting the checkbox “Include revoked certificates in this CA's CRL even after they expire”
注記
Use of this extension may result in very large CRLs and impact performance.
Known issues
November 1, 2023
DigiCert® ONE version: 1.6392.1 | CA Manager: 1.617.0
New
Two-factor authentication (2FA) requirement
Starting November 1, 2023, at 18:00 MDT (November 2, 2023, at 00:00 UTC), we will require all DigiCert ONE accounts to use two-factor authentication (2FA).
You will use both your credentials and a one-time password to access your account. When you log in to your DigiCert ONE account on November 1, you will be prompted to set up two-factor authentication. If you have already enabled two-factor authentication in Account Manager before this date, no further action is necessary.
How to enable two-factor authentication in Account Manager.
注記
If you use single sign-on (SSO) to access your DigiCert ONE account, the new two-factor authentication requirement does not affect you. However, the requirement will activate if you modify your SSO settings.
Enhancements
Partition detail page now includes the ability to adjust the security level setting, providing more direct access for editing these configurations.
Fixes
After updating the AIA using a .P7C file, the audit log will now correctly display the associated filename.
UI has been corrected to remove the option to disable an already disabled master escrow key, eliminating the previous redundancy.
Known issues
The HSM section currently shows the Remote Proxy menu due to ongoing development. It is not intended for general use at this stage. Expect further updates for its full integration.
October 18, 2023
DigiCert® ONE version: 1.6201.3 | CA Manager: 1.613.0
New
Multi-partition escrow support and other escrow enhancements
CA services now allows multiple HSM partitions to provide key escrow services—though you should designate one as a fallback/default. Additional improvements have been made to facilitate key escrow activities and information
Partition security level indicator for escrow
HSM partitions designated for escrow also should indicate their level of relative security so that escrow requests from managers can ensure the right HSM is used for escrow needs.
The security levels run from 1 to 3, from lowest to the highest at 3.
1 indicates low security (for example SoftHSM) and 3 (for FIPS-certified HSMs; though not necessarily enabled, such as Luna 7 HSMs).
2 indicates somewhere in between, and would be decided by the customer for their dedicated or on-premises HSMs. All DigiCert attached Lunas are set to 3.
Escrow key and partition information endpoint
Managers may call CA services to obtain information about an escrow key—such as it’s expiry and the security level of the partition that houses it.
Escrow key expiry and deletion
When creating escrow keys, an expiry date may be set so that they are deleted to clear room.
Manager now may delete unused escrow keys directly.

Enhancements
HTTPS OCSP domains
OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) domains now can be registered as HTTPS. Such domains will display with “(HTTPs)” suffixes from the dropdown menu. Domains still must be unique, so HTTP and HTTPS versions cannot both exist. At this time, only OCSP supports HTTPs.
Offline request details include Extended Key Usages
When reviewing offline requests for ceremony, included EKUs from the selected template are now displayed below the Policy Extension OIDs (Object Identifiers).
Fixes
Long CRL paths overlapping other page data
