Specops Infrastructure Change

We’re making changes to our hosting infrastructure to improve certificate management and support future updates to our services. As part of this change, we’re adding Amazon Trust Services and Digicert as a certificate authority, alongside our existing certificate providers. 

 Action Required 

  • If your organization restricts outbound network traffic using firewall or proxy allowlists, you may need to update your configuration to allow access to the certificate validation endpoints listed below. 
  • These requirements apply across Specops products and replace the separate certificate endpoint lists previously provided in our documentation. 
  • If your network already permits access to these certificate validation services, no action is required. 

The updated URL Allowlists are available here in the linked product documentation for Specops Authentication and for Specops Password Policy.

The new list of certificate providers: 

Issuer CRL endpoint Protocol Port Source documentation 
Let’s Encrypt https://*.c.lencr.org TCP 443 Let’s Encrypt Certificates 
Let’s Encrypt http://*.c.lencr.org TCP 80 Let’s Encrypt Certificates 
GoDaddy https://crl.godaddy.com TCP 443 GoDaddy Repository 
GoDaddy http://crl.godaddy.com TCP 80 GoDaddy Repository 
Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/pkiops/crl/* TCP 80 Microsoft PKI Repository 
Amazon http://*.amazontrust.com TCP 80 Amazon Trust Services Repository 
Amazon http://*.amznts.eu TCP 80 Amazon Trust Services Repository 

When Should I Take Action By? 

The new certificate authorities will be used from December 7th 2026. If you have questions or need help, please reach out to our Support team.  

Kind regards, 

Specops Product Team
