Issue/Introduction
To comply with recent changes to TLS certificate standards, DigiCert has begun shortening the lifespan of SSL certificates. As a result, the following SSL certificate changes are in effect for all VIP Service endpoints:
- As of March 2026, SSL certificate lifespan is 200 days.
- Around March 2027, the SSL certificate lifespan will be 100 days.
- Around March 2029, the SSL certificate lifespan will be 47 days.
Important: VIP certificates issued from your VIP Manager Tenant are not affected at this time.
Cause
Additional information: TLS Certificate Lifetimes Will Officially Reduce to 47 Days.
According to the voting panel: "...shorter lifetimes are necessary for many reasons, the most prominent being this: The information in certificates is becoming steadily less trustworthy over time, a problem that can only be mitigated by frequently revalidating the information."
Resolution
This change applies to all Symantec VIP endpoints, including:
- manager.vip.symantec.com
- ssp.vip.symantec.com
- login.vip.symantec.com
- my.vip.symantec.com
- services-auth.vip.symantec.com
- services.vip.symantec.com
- userservices.vip.symantec.com
- userservices-auth.vip.symantec.com
- messaging.vip.symantec.com
- goidservices-auth.vip.symantec.com
This will result in an increase in certificate rotation frequency as validity periods are reduced. These rotations occur during routine monthly VIP maintenance windows.
