Hi John, I also got this email. We also recently installed an ipsCA wildcard cert for a test EZProxy install. Looking at the details of our ipsCA wildcard certificate in Firefox, though, I can see the chain of certificates going up to the root ipsCA cert. Firefox says that that root certificate -- ipsCA CLASEA1 Certificate Authority -- is good until 2025. I see the same thing in IE, Safari, and I assume every other browser I might check. Do you see that too? --Dave ================== David Walker Library Web Services Manager California State University http://xerxes.calstate.edu ________________________________________ From: Code for Libraries [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of John Wynstra [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 1:02 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [CODE4LIB] ipsCA Certs Out of curiosity, did anyone else using ipsCA certs receive notification that due to the coming expiration of their root CA (December 29,2009), they would need a reissued cert under a new root CA? I am uncertain as to how this new Root CA will become a part of the browsers trusted roots without some type of user action including a software upgrade, but the following library website instructions lead me to believe that this is not going to be smooth. http://bit.ly/53Npel We are just about to go live with EZProxy in January with an ipsCA cert issued a few months ago, and I am not about to do that if I have serious browser support issue. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> John Wynstra Library Information Systems Specialist Rod Library University of Northern Iowa Cedar Falls, IA 50613 [log in to unmask] (319)273-6399 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
