#2Corporate bureaucracy often results in bad, strange, or just plain weird circumstances. Film at 11.

#4The SSL certificate expired Tuesday, May 8, 2012.
Pro tip: Set up monitoring alerts on your SSL certs to alert your sys admin when they are getting close.
For example, here's a Nagios SSL expiration alert: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Network-Protoco...

#6Why do companies buy certs one year at a time?
You can make certs for ten, even twenty years.
This all goes back to the SSL cartel wanting control.
Just make a cert good until January 19, 2038 and get it over with.

Comcast will have to get a valid SSL certs and cannot use a self signed certificate. The longest valid cert I have seen is 4 years.

Look at the dates on the posts in the thread. He gave them a month before coming back and chastizing them again to find out they'd closed the ticket without fixing it.
This is pretty damn pathetic (1), that's all I can think to even say.
(1) esp given that the cert expired in MAY.

The original post was on 2012-09-21 and still no resolution. Not to mention, as others have pointed out, it's for a cert that expired several months ago. But this link is public acknowledgement of the issue and it's still unresolved as of today. Regardless of bureaucracy, that should be considered highly unacceptable for the largest consumer ISP in the United States.
