1794495 - Remove Network Solutions Certificate Authority

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSS :: CA Certificates Code, task)

Description

[Keith McKenney]

Hi,

Except for two test certificates that were issued this year, Network Solutions ceased issuance of new certificates chaining up to our own root certificate at the end of 2021.

The final active certificate issued to one of our subscribers is set to expire on December 13, 2022.

We ask you to plan the removal of the Network Solutions Certificate Authority root certificate after December 13, 2022. This would lead to zero impact for Mozilla users. We would appreciate it if you could complete the removal prior to April 1, 2023 to ensure the root removal occurs within our current WebTrust audit period.

To confirm, the root certificate in question is the following:

https://crt.sh/?sha256=15F0BA00A3AC7AF3AC884C072B1011A077BD77C097F40164B2F8598ABD83860C

Subject:

commonName = Network Solutions Certificate Authority
organizationName = Network Solutions L.L.C.
countryName = US

SHA256 fingerprint: 15F0BA00A3AC7AF3AC884C072B1011A077BD77C097F40164B2F8598ABD83860C

If you have any questions, please let me know.
