Google Chrome limits the validity of SSL Certificates to one year

stesch79 These changes apply to certificates that are rooted to a public CA trust anchor. Certificates that are rooted to a private PKI CA (“locally-trusted anchor”) are not limited this way.

Eric_LawrenceThanks for the link! That's reassuring!
But what about the validity check itself? I assume Edge Chromium will also implement that check sooner or later?

Yes, for certificates that chain to public CAs, we will have the same check as Chrome, shipping in the same Stable version.- ThiloLangbeinAug 06, 2020Brass ContributorAnd company internal CA‘s are not affected?

ThiloLangbein - Certificates that are rooted to a private PKI CA (“locally-trusted anchor”, which is trusted only because the user or admin added it to the client) are not limited this way.
It is extremely rare for a company to have an internal CA that chains back to a publicly trusted root (although it is not impossible. Microsoft has such a CA, as does at least one of the major CA companies).
