Description Timo Denissen

2019-11-08 09:51:19 CET

It should be considered to decrease the default value of "ssl/default/days=1825" to maintain compatibility with Safari/Chrome-clients running on OS X 10.14/10.15.

We had the case of a certificate valid for 1825 days which was declined by Safari and Chrome on OS X 10.15 with "NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED" as error message.

The certificate was definitly not revoked and freshly re-created.

After re-creating the certificate with a validity of 824 days, neither Safari nor Chrome had a problem and granted access to the webpage via HTTPS.

As stated on https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210176, certificates issued after 2019-07-01 may no longer be valid for more than 825 days.
