Sectigo AddTrust Root Expiration - Effects and Resolution

Zesty.io uses Sectigo (previously Comodo) as a certificate authority. An AddTrust legacy root cross-sign certificates in place to increase support old systems and devices expired on May 30th, 2020. This would affected many applications or installations that depend on this cross-signed root to make requests to Zesty.io services. It also could affect old operating systems that have not received updates.

The effect would be requests would be see as non-secure, even though they were secure. This would happen because the requesting legacy system would not have the latest information to verify the secure connection.

API Consumption: Systems that consume Zesty.io APIs will need to make sure they have a new server operating system that receive security updates to be able to confirm connections to our API are secure.

Instant JSON or Preview Server Consumption: Systems that consume Zesty.io's preview URLs (for example https://xyzxyz-dev.preview.zesty.io) need to make sure they have a new server operating system that receive security updates which can confirm connections to our API are secure. If you are experiencing this issue your server will return an error like: "certificate verify failed (certificate has expired)"

Instant JSON or Preview Browser Consumption: Older Operating Systems that have not been updated will receive a non-secure connection error when consuming Zesty.io's preview URLs (for example https://xyzxyz-dev.preview.zesty.io) will need to update their operating system.
