As the old CA Root Certificate nears its expiry date a new one was issued (for the same key pair).
Replace the old AustrianGridCA Root Certificate for all your applications
(e.g. Grid middleware, web servers, web browsers, e-mail clients)
as soon as possible!!!
It is important that you replace them, not add to them, because the new
Root Certificate has the same serial number as the old one. This was
necessary because all end-entity certificates up to now have the serial
number of
the Root certificate in the Authority Key Identifier extension. This will change
from now on.
On all Microsoft Windows systems the certificate administration is done at
the system level. Therefore go to Internet options -> Content -> Certificates
(from within the system level, IE or Outlook) and delete the old
AustrianGrid CA Root Certificate.
For all browsers except IE (Mozilla, Seamonkey, Firefox, etc.) running under all
operating systems open the browser, got to Preferences, go to the
certificate administration and delete the old AustrianGrid CA Root
Certificate.
Finally open the web page Root
Certificate & CRL and "Dowload into the browser" or save the Root
Certificate on a file and "import" it into your browser and mail client (e.g.
Thunderbird).
