As of July 1, 2012, the use of Certificates containing Reserved IP Address or Internal Server Name was deprecated by the CA / Browser Forum and the practice was eliminated by October 2016. Also as of July 1, 2012, the Certificate Providers stopped issuing certificates with an Expiry Date later than 31 October 2015 with a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) extension or Subject Common Name (CN) field containing a Reserved IP Address or Internal Server Name. Effective 1 October 2016, Certificate Providers have revoked all unexpired certificates of this type.

After a successful checkout at GlobalProtec we will prepare your certificate request as far as possible and submit it to the certificate provider. You will then be contacted by the provider in order to conclude the process. The extent of your participation in this process depends on the type of certificate ordered.
