As part of standard internet best practices, DigiCert has announced that the distrust date for the G1 Root CA will be April 15, 2026. ClearBlade will provide customers a path to migrate from the G1 to the G5 root file from now until end of year 2025.

ClearBlade understands this is a complex issue and has enabled its sales, support, and services teams to provide additional assistance. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to open a Support Desk Ticket or email your dedicated customer success agent.

To ensure your devices experience no period of disconnection, the following schedule will be used:

Schedule:

  • September 15, 2024: New URLs are available for IoT Core users to begin migrating ECC or RSA-based cryptography users. Click here to find those URLs.

  • EOY 2025: All users must complete their migration to the G5 Root CA. The legacy URLs will be migrated to use the G5 once renewals are no longer available.

All URLs will remain available in future years.
