AI Summary

This case concerns a blank "Subordinate CA Owner" field in CCADB for a DigiCert cross-certificate. DigiCert said a community member reported the issue and that the private key for the cross-certificate is under Microsoft’s control. DigiCert cited CCADB Policy v2.1, Section 3.2, which requires the Subordinate CA Owner field not be left blank unless specific conditions are met. DigiCert opened the bug as a preliminary incident report and said it would post a full incident report by 2026-08-08. A follow-up comment on 2026-08-03 said the full incident report was still in progress and would still be posted by that date.
