Infrastructure Systems Operations will be updating the SSL certificates on the malice database cluster. This is due to changes in the certificate provider and changes in public certificate attributes, driven by the CA/Browser forum (an external entity).
This change is to update the certificates before they expire on August 30 at 7 PM.
Since the database is a multi-node cluster, there should not be any noticeable interruption of service during the change. Testing indicates that one node of the cluster can be updated at a time without causing any breaks in functionality.
This change is only expected to take about an hour, but the whole window is reserved for maintenance.
The services use this database are:
gateway.tamu.edu
neoweb.tamu.edu
directory.tamu.edu
u.tamu.edu
maestro.marcomm.tamu.edu
bulkmail.tamu.edu
tamudirect.tamu.edu
Change#: 954099
