Scheduled Maintenance - Change to SSL Server Certificate for OS api.ordnancesurvey.co.uk
What is the change?
OS will be changing the SSL certificate for api.ordnancesurvey.co.uk over to a new provider in April 2020.
Why is OS making the change?
Ordnance Survey are making this change as the current SSL certificate is due to expire. In order to maintain secure https connections, the certificate will be updated.
Will there be any downtime?
There will be no downtime to the service when the certificate is changed.
Do I need to take any action?
Most customers will not experience any impact when SSL certificates are changed, even when the provider is different. However, some customers with bespoke applications or complex networking may need to take action to continue to use our services.
Due to the new certificate provider, there will be a new certificate chain (new Root and Intermediate certificates issued by DigiCert). DigiCert are a major certificate provider and the majority of systems supporting the use of certificates will already be able to verify their certificates.
Some customers may need to “trust” this new authority in order to keep using our services after the certificate has changed. Please see relevant information below:
Issuing Authority: DigiCert, Inc
Root Certificate: DigiCert Global Root CA

What date and time are you updating the certificate?
The certificate will be updated on Wednesday 15th April 2020 at 8:30am
