Updating certificates

Because certificates eventually reach their expiration date, Infor periodically updates the certificates used to sign their products. Because the certificate used in the previous OLE DB Object Services release expired on 1/12/2021, the current release contains a certificate update.

Typically, a Windows system downloads the required root and intermediate certificates automatically as part of the Windows Update Microsoft Trusted Root Certificate Program. However, if this program has been turned off on a machine, the certificate must be installed manually. Each certificate must also be installed in the correct store.

If the root and intermediate certificates of this certificate are not properly installed on a machine, users can encounter a certificate used to sign the deployment manifest that is not trusted.

The procedure below explains how to check a certificate chain and install the root and intermediate certificates.

  1. In the Windows Run dialog box, specify certmgr.msc and click OK.
  2. In the Certificate Manager, select Certificates - Current User and then select Action > Find Certificates.
  3. On the Find Certificates dialog box, specify Sectigo in the Contains field and select Issued By in the Look in Field.
  4. Double-click the latest unexpired certificate and then click the Certification Path. If there are any red marks in the certificate chain, there is an issue with the chain, and you should proceed with the next steps to insure that the root and intermediate certificates are installed.
  5. If the intermediate certificate is missing or not installed on the machine, it can be downloaded from the Sectigo support site (https://support.sectigo.com/articles/Knowledge/Sectigo-Intermediate-Certificates).
  6. In the Certificate Manager, install this under Intermediate Certification Authorities.
  7. If the root certificate is missing or not installed, download it from Sectigo: (https://crt.sh/?d=D7A7A0FB5D7E2731D771E9484EBCDEF71D5F0C3E0A2948782BC83EE0EA699EF4).
  8. In the Certificate Manager, install the root certificate under Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
