Distrust TLS Server Certificates Issued After Oct 2024 and Anchored by Entrust Root CAs
The JDK will stop trusting TLS server certificates issued after October 2024 and anchored by Entrust Root Certificates, in line with similar plans recently announced by Google and Mozilla. The list of affected certificates includes certificates branded as AffirmTrust, which are managed by Entrust.
TLS server certificates issued on or before October 31, 2024 will continue to be trusted until they expire. Certificates issued after that date, and anchored by any of the Certificate Authorities in the table below, will be rejected.
The restrictions will be enforced in the JDK implementation (the SunJSSE Provider) of the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) API. A TLS session will not be negotiated if the server's certificate chain is anchored by any of the Certificate Authorities in the table below and the certificate has been issued after October 31, 2024.
An application will receive an Exception with a message indicating the trust anchor is not trusted, for example:
"TLS server certificate issued after 2024-10-31 and anchored by a distrusted legacy Entrust root CA: CN=Entrust.net Certification Authority (2048), OU=(c) 1999 Entrust.net Limited, OU=www.entrust.net/CPS_2048 incorp. by ref. (limits liab.), O=Entrust.net"
If necessary, and at your own risk, you can work around the restrictions by removing "ENTRUST_TLS" from the jdk.security.caDistrustPolicies security property in the java.security configuration file.
The restrictions are imposed on the following Entrust Root certificates included in the JDK:

You can also use the keytool utility from the JDK to print out details of the certificate chain, as follows:
keytool -v -list -alias <your_server_alias> -keystore <your_keystore_filename>
If any of the certificates in the chain are issued by one of the root CAs in the table above are listed in the output you will need to update the certificate or contact the organization that manages the server if not yours.
