Important: This document contains information for the group of server updates (or dist) occurring January 09, 2012 through January 11, 2012 in all datacenters. Until that time, all of the information included in this document is subject to change.

Important updates in this Notification:

The following updates affect popular or important services and programs:
• SSL Certificate Update (Linux, v3, and v2)

--------------------------------
Linux MPS/VPS
--------------------------------

The following updates will be made to the Linux VPS/MPS platform.
Important services to be restarted:
The following services will be restarted by Verio as part of the update:
• Apache
• Dovecot

No Action Needed

The following Linux VPS/MPS updates do not require action by customers to take advantage of the full benefits of the update. Some services may be rebooted as part of the update.

* Postgresql8 vinstall

The vinstall for postgresql will be updated to reflect the proper path in a help link which is provided during installation.

*.securesites.com

The securesites.com SSL certificate will be renewed and updated on the server.

*.securesites.net

The securesites.net SSL certificate will be renewed and updated on the server.

Note: Verio has renewed these certificates with GeoTrust. In July 2010 Geotrust updated its root hierarchy to 2048bit RSA Keys. Some older browsers (versions over several years ago) may have issues with natively supporting Geotrust's new root hierarchy. It is recommended that these users update their browser to a more current version. However, customers may also optionally install an intermediate certificate on their VPS/MPS product to allow these certificates to work for older browsers using the following four steps:

1. Edit /www/conf/httpd.conf
Add a SSLCACertificateFile line i.e,
SSLCACertificateFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
under the SSL Virtual Host Context, i.e., under the <VirtualHost ip address:443> tag.

2. Obtain the Secondary Intermediate CA under the ‘All Other Web Server's’ section in the following link:
https://knowledge.geotrust.com/support/knowledge-base/index?page=content&id=AR1423

3. Ensure the directory path exists and put the cert in /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt.

4. Restart Apache: service httpd restart


-------------------------------------
FreeBSD MPS/VPS v3
-------------------------------------

The following updates will be made to the FreeBSD VPS/MPS v3 platform.
Important services to be restarted:
The following services will be restarted by Verio as part of the update:
• Apache
• Dovecot
• Watcher

No Action Needed

The following FreeBSD VPS/MPS v3 updates do not require action by customers to take advantage of the full benefits of the update. Some services may be rebooted as part of the update.

*.securesites.com

The securesites.com SSL certificate will be renewed and updated on the server.

*.securesites.net

The securesites.net SSL certificate will be renewed and updated on the server.

Note: Verio has renewed these certificates with GeoTrust. In July 2010 Geotrust updated its root hierarchy to 2048bit RSA Keys. Some older browsers (versions over several years ago) may have issues with natively supporting Geotrust's new root hierarchy. It is recommended that these users update their browser to a more current version. However, customers may also optionally install an intermediate certificate on their VPS/MPS product to allow these certificates to work for older browsers using the following four steps:

1. Edit /www/conf/httpd.conf
Uncomment line with SSLCACertificateFile. i.e.,
< #SSLCACertificateFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt
---
> SSLCACertificateFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt
If the line is not there add it under the SSL Virtual Host Context, i.e., under the <VirtualHost ip address:443> tag.

2. Obtain the Secondary Intermediate CA under the ‘All Other Web Server's’ section in the following link:
https://knowledge.geotrust.com/support/knowledge-base/index?page=content&id=AR1423

3. Ensure the directory path exists and put the cert in /usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl.crt/ca-bundle.crt.

4. Restart Apache: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh restart
