Maintaining SSL Certificates

Oracle CRM On Demand is accessible only through HTTPS and Oracle servers using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates issued by common certificate authorities (CA) such as Verisign. Approximately yearly these SSL certificates are renewed, so it is important that any clients (including browsers and integration clients) are configured to trust the root CA certificates and not the specific server certificates.

Occasionally the certificate authority might issue new root certificates or start issuing server SSL certificates to Oracle that use a different root or intermediate certificate. It is the responsibility of customers to ensure that their clients (browser or integration platform) are kept up to date with the latest root certificates from Verisign or others. See, for example, the Verisign Web site for details of how to update your client.
