HARICA nos informa de lo siguiente:
Dear members,
In alignment with the updated Baseline Requirements for SSL/TLS Certificates, Certificates issued on or after 15 March 2026 should not have a validity period exceeding 199 days.
As part of our ongoing compliance measures, HARICA will reduce the maximum validity period for Server Certificates from 365 days to 199 days.
Implementation timeline
The above change will be implemented gradually during the period 9–13 March 2026:
- Before 9 March: All newly issued Server Certificates will continue to be issued with the current maximum validity period (397 days).
- Between 9 and 13 March: A transitional implementation period will apply. During this time, issuance duration may vary as system updates are progressively deployed.
- After 13 March: All newly issued Server Certificates will be issued with the new maximum validity period of 199 days.
Subscribers are advised to take this transitional window into consideration when planning certificate issuance or renewal activities.
Impact on existing certificates
Please note that the above changes do not affect the validity of certificates that have already been issued. All currently active certificates will remain valid until their existing expiration date.
Dado este acortamiento de los periodos de validez, como ya se venía anunciando desde hace tiempo, se recomienda avanzar en la automatización de la gestión del ciclo de vida de los certificados, por ejemplo mediante el protocolo ACME, para facilitar su administración.
