Bugzilla #1707073 Certificate Problem Report

GlobalSign: Invalid countryName

RESOLVED FIXED GlobalSign nv-sa
AI Summary

The issue reported involved a certificate issued by GlobalSign that incorrectly listed 'UK' as the country name. This was compounded by incorrect locality and state/province names. Upon discovery, GlobalSign promptly revoked the certificate and initiated an investigation. The investigation revealed that the problem stemmed from a misconfiguration during a data center migration, which led to the failure of the linting process that should have caught the error. GlobalSign has since implemented measures to enhance their linting processes and ensure compliance with their policies.
