I'm a little dismayed at the eleventh hour posting of the email. It
makes it feel illegitimate, but I have had other confirmation that it is
legit, too.
Another thing to worry about before Christmas...

Nevermind. :-)

Hi John,
I also got this email. We also recently installed an ipsCA wildcard cert for a
test EZProxy install.
Looking at the details of our ipsCA wildcard certificate in Firefox, though, I
can see the chain of certificates going up to the root ipsCA cert.
Firefox says that that root certificate -- ipsCA CLASEA1 Certificate Authority
-- is good until 2025. I see the same thing in IE, Safari, and I assume every
other browser I might check.
Do you see that too?

Subject: [CODE4LIB] ipsCA Certs
Out of curiosity, did anyone else using ipsCA certs receive notification
that due to the coming expiration of their root CA (December 29,2009),
they would need a reissued cert under a new root CA?
I am uncertain as to how this new Root CA will become a part of the
browsers trusted roots without some type of user action including a
software upgrade, but the following library website instructions lead me
to believe that this is not going to be smooth. http://bit.ly/53Npel
We are just about to go live with EZProxy in January with an ipsCA cert
issued a few months ago, and I am not about to do that if I have serious
browser support issue.
