On May 30 2020 10:48:38 +0000 root certificate "AddTrust External CA Root" and intermediate certificate "USERTrust RSA Certification Authority" are expiring.

We are going to update certificate chain on some services.

It could impact leaf certificates validation on outdated systems.

This certificate is one of the root signing the certificate authority "Gandi Standard SSL CA 2" which sign leaf certificate used in production.

Hopefully a new version of this signing certificate exists:

1.1. 2024-09-11 23:59:59, 8544bf03, fc5a8f99, Gandi Standard SSL CA 2
1.2. 2020-05-30 10:48:38, fc5a8f99, 157753a5, USERTrust RSA Certification Authority
1.3. 2020-05-30 10:48:38, 157753a5, 157753a5, AddTrust External CA Root

New chain details, with expiration date, hash, issuer_hash and certificate CN:
