<p class="MsoNormal">That's not to say an effective date is a forgone conclusion, but I think as a Forum, we're much more productive when members with concrete concerns bring them forward, rather than abstracts "on behalf of someone else". For example, what
challenges might HARICA face? Understanding that would help both make better ballots, and perhaps highlight industry good practices from other CAs that HARICA could adopt so that these aren't concerns in the future.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
CAs need to update their validation code to allow ONLY these specific HTTP responses for redirects. This also needs to be applied consistently, including ACME implementations that may not currently support this configuration option. For example, I believe EJBCA
does not have this option for their ACME server engine component.<br>
<br>
For HARICA, it's easy to update the main RA code but we currently rely on EJBCA for ACME and that might cause some delays.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></p>
