How did you go communicating in recent months, the Open Administration Consortium of Catalonia, like all certification service providers, has the obligation to issue its certificates in codes of 2.048 and with SHA256 algorithms from January 1, 2017.
The AOC Consortium will make this change effective December 1, 2016.
To be able to perform this evolutionary, next Wednesday, November 30 there will be a service shutdown from 16pm to 19pm. Thereafter, all certificates issued from the AOC Consortium hierarchy will be performed using SHA256 algorithms.
This service cut will affect the Subscriber's Folder and the T-CAT Registration Entities and, in no case, will involve the loss of certificates that are in the middle of the process.
We provide you with one new certificate package with this new algorithm. It is very important that you are testing with these new certificates because they have found incompatibilities especially with outdated operating systems. You can check the compatibility tables what we have done
Certificates generated with SHA1 will remain valid until they expire.
If you have any questions, you can contact ours Customer Service Center.
