Query got link there, http://ocsp.eid.belgium.be, displayed "Welcome to Verizon OGCM OCSP responder", That was all, on blank page; a Test kinda thing? (and if my query were bogus, might have said something else??) BUT! that link got me to: Sectigo! and atop their addy was: Any Sectigo certificate user needing help due to the recent ADDTrust legacy root expiration should contact Sectigo support. THIS was that link: https://sectigo.com/campaign/enterprise-smime-whitepaper?utm_term=%2Bsecurity%20%2Bcertificate&utm_campaign=Sectigo+Enterprise_Secure+Email+Certificates_US+%26+Canada&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=6918550654&hsa_cam=1669010629&hsa_grp=71527348455&hsa_ad=408476097250&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=kwd-302057101089&hsa_kw=%2Bsecurity%20%2Bcertificate&hsa_mt=b&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIueTJ3pTi6QIVgD2tBh3LKgqNEAMYAiAAEgJi6PD_BwE (I left the post-? stuff there, in event it is revelatory.

My browser is fairly up-to-date so it used the new chain. You'll have go the manual install route if Apple doesn't issue a root cert update for the older Safaris.

Post #434,276 by malraux 6/1/20 11:15:53 PM 6/1/20 11:15:53 PM Reply	Still going on. We're seeing problems with servers at clients and several major providers including Amazon, multiple issues including DigiCert and GlobalSign. Weird intermittent stuff like only one or a few servers in a pool are misconfigured, such as lambda or S3 requests failing 1 out of 50 times (or 50 times in a row over a very brief period only). Spent most of the day tracking down issues. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

Some of it was misconfiguration that was thrust into the light by whatever else is going on. I'm still not sure how to fix things other than to put retries into our code where possible.

Post #434,286 by scoenye 6/2/20 10:40:27 AM 6/2/20 10:40:27 AM Reply	Sectigo's SHA-1 root + intermediate certs expired. The fix will be messy as the root cert lists for the OS and each application/service that brings its own will need updating.
Post #434,287 by malraux 6/2/20 10:44:11 AM 6/2/20 10:44:11 AM Reply	I don't think that's all that happened. The server certs we're having issues with are GlobalSign and DigiCert, not Sectigo, and the problems are intermittent. The client OS in question has updated certs and is on OpenSSL 1.1.1. I manually removed the AddTrust certs but that didn't help either. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
