Renewing SSL Certification of ESRS : SHA-2 types

Using industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption over the Internet and an EMC-signed digital certificate for

authentication, the ESRS creates a secure communication tunnel.

I have two questions of SSL Certification?

- When does SSL Certification migrate from SHA-1 to SHA-256 (SHA-2)?

   Is it 9/15/2015 from valid date of the digital certificat on esrs.emc.com ?

- After migrating from SHA-1 to SHA-2, Is it need to upgrade from ESRS V2 to ESRS/VE lastest version and generates a SHA-2 cert request?

  I understood that ESRS Gateway and EMC servers(esrs.emc.com, GAS, esrs-core.emc.com) have EMC-signed digital certificate.

  Each ESRS has a unique digital certificate that is verified by EMC whenever an ESRS makes a connection attempt.

See page 25 EMC Secure Remote Support Security Management and Certificate Policy Frequently Asked Questions

(found at Support.emc.com   in regards to the certificate  question . In regards to migration of  SHA 1 to SHA2 , this is not known at this time.

For additional resources in regards to SHA1 and the transition to SHA2 see Microsoft TechNet blog:

Will ESRS v2.x and ESRS/VE follow this policy by Microsoft?

Does it mean ESRS infrastructure servers use CA that provided by Microsoft? 

========== Microsoft : SHA1 Deprecation Policy ==================

SSL Certificates

For SSL certificates, Windows will stop accepting SHA1 end-entity certificates by 1 January 2017. This means any time valid SHA1 SSL certificates must be replaced with a SHA2 equivalent by 1 January 2017.

I am not in a position to state that fact, however ESRS would follow recommendations based on Microsoft recommendations and the Industry standards and will update and provide a secure solution  prior to that date

Any update on this question? A lot of customer is asking and we don't have a firm date and reply.

22 February 2016 and still no answer on that question.

We really need to move from sha1 to sha256 with RSA 4096.

Is there a procedure to regenerate the certificate with SHA-2?

When will be available?

Does anyone know if there is a KB or Support Document which has the minimum code level on all EMC products support SHA2 Certificate? Note: I have a customer current carry out an audit.

Hi all,

is it possible to use a wildcard certificate?

We have our own so would be nice to use this one..
