New CA release 4.7

A new CA release 4.7 was rolled out on Monday. This release includes some extensions, e.g. the possibility of adding a domain free of charge to an existing Managed PKI.

Managed PKI customers have the option to add new domains free of charge to their managed PKI. At present, the method of file based authentication is available. To do this, log in as an access responsible for your managed PKI. The new "Managed Domains" menu item under the main menu "MPKI Domains Verification" allows you to enter a domain to be verified. You will then see a secret that you must store in a file <domain>/.well-known/pki-validation/swisssign-check.txt without any additional entries. For 30 days, this file is searched at regular intervals and investigated for the secret. If this file has been found with the correct content, our fulfillment is assigned with the addition of your domain. You will then receive an e-mail about the addition of your domain to the Managed PKI. The domain can then be used for both e-mail and SSL certificates.

This service will be extended in the future to other procedures allowed by the CA Browser Forum (e.g., DNS Check). You are, of course, free to use the paid service to order and manually add domains.

Furthermore, the web interface has been adapted to the new corporate design.

Code Signing products now have a maximum validity of 3 years. It is mandatory that the key pair for the code signing certificate be generated on an HSM. This HSM must have at least the FIPS-140-2 Level 2 standard.

On July 31, 18h00, the certificate of the site ra.swisssign.net is changed. If you make your access dependent on this certificate, you must adapt it. The new certificate can be found here:
