Component Firmware
Title Self signed SSL certificates are now using SHA256 instead of SHA1
Date Jan 29, 2016
Level Trivial Change
Class New Feature
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed
Appliance Version 1.3.0

As SHA1 certificates are treated as "weak" by more and more browsers which are then warning the user about this issue, all new certificates which are self signed by the Check_MK Appliance will use SHA256 as hashing algorithm.

Existing SHA1 certificates are left untouched and remain working.
