DigiCert changes for mTLS certificates
To improve security with mTLS certification, DigiCert is removing the Client Authentication Extended Key Usage (EKU) from its public TLS certificates and moving to the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). This change aligns with Google Chrome’s root program requirements, which mandate dedicated TLS hierarchies for better security and interoperability.
To view the details and specifications from DigiCert, see Sunsetting Client Authentication EKU from DigiCert Public TLS Certificates.
What do I need to do
If you use DigiCert mTLS certificates, you must transition to DigiCert's X9 PKI and set up a private PKI for internal authentication needs. We recommend reviewing your certificate enrollment settings now and proactively setting up your DigiCert certification.
Deadline Awareness
- October 1, 2025: DigiCert stops adding Client Authentication EKU by default.
- May 1, 2026: Client Authentication EKU removed from all new, renewed, or reissued public TLS certificates.
