We will not update the CAs via PTF however we will continue to update on a release boundary.
Starting with IBM i 7.3, no Internet CA certificates are automatically imported into certificate stores. Instead, the system administrator must use DCM (Digital Certificate Manager) to import the needed certificates into their certificate store.
This is possible by opening the *SYSTEM certificate store, and then from the left side pane clicking "Manage Certificate Store -> Populate with CA Certificates". From that window, you can choose the CA certificates you want imported from the list provided which includes DigiCert, Entrust, GeoTrust, Go Daddy, Symantec, Thawte, and Verisign. This list was generated at the release of IBM i 7.3 with certificates that use SHA-2 hashing and either RSA-2048 or ECDSA-256 or higher key sizes.
Since a large change has recently occurred with CA certificate providers, DigiCert has released new CA certificates and has been reissuing server certificates signed by their new intermediate CAs.
It has therefore been determined that the list of CAs available in DCM needs to be updated with the plethora of DigiCert Root CAs and Intermediate CAs that have been recently created. An enhancement will be provided which includes these new CA certificates and will be available for import using the "Manage Certificate Store -> Populate with CA certificates" DCM utility.
