From: David Groep Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 21:00:00 +0100 Subject: Updated IGTF distribution 1.40 (hotfix) Dear CAs, Relying Parties, Users, and all others interested, In this announcement of the IGTF: 1. Updated IGTF distribution version 1.40 available The meta-data for the Uni-Andes CA of Colombia introduced in release 1.39 contained an incorrect fingerprint of the certificate in the associated meta-data (".info") file. The actual certificate shipped for this CA (OpenSSL v0.x hash: fc1898ec) was correct and has not changed. The SHA1 fingerprint for this CA should read 00:B7:AA:54:AE:7B:1D:BE:FB:40:F4:68:02:85:5F:73:01:83:B6:0D The 1.40 release corrects this meta-data file. ========================================================================= 1.
