Recently, I received an e-mail from GoDaddy asking to renew older certificates which were signed using SHA-1 algorithm because: Google® is making a shift in their Chrome™ Web browser to phase out any SSL certificates which use an old encryption algorithm (SHA-1) and expire after Dec. 31, 2015 By default, all new or recently renewed certificates … Continue reading Certificate re-key to change signature algorithm in Lync Server (SHA-1 to SHA-2)
