RE: Anyone Familiar with How Server Farms and SSL Certificates Work?

Imagine if Microsoft did that. People would need to be adding certs just to buy things from amazon.com :-)

I'm pretty sure there would be an uprising.

If you want to play in the online world, you have to get on board. IBM probably thinks these boxes are still closed systems with no outside world communication.

Perhaps many are, but it seems everythings is connected to the internet these days.

Years ago we put in a request for them to add GoDaddy's root certs as they were basically giving certs away to get into the business and were becoming very popular. They almost immediately closed the request as a won't do. They said they didn't want to keep up with more certs and that we could just manually add them.

Gotcha. That's the ticket right there. Perhaps we could ask IBM to
start including those in PTF updates like Microsoft does?

I think Bradley is talking IBM and you are talking Windows. Windows
updates root certs as part of their monthly updates. IBM doesn't. Here

is the list of trusted certs in Microsoft as of last month.

https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Trusted-Root-Certificate-123665ca.

I have most of the Symantec/Verisign and GoDaddy chains loaded in my

DCM.

That covers most of the certs I see and I don't have to add certs very

often.
