"Trusted for TLS" means the store includes the root with the server-authentication trust bit (Mozilla "Websites", Apple serverAuth, Microsoft Server Authentication EKU). Microsoft "NotBefore" means only certificates issued before a cutoff date are still trusted. "Constrained" means the store applies extra restrictions.

Intermediate CAs issued by this root

The CCADB lists 21 intermediate CA certificates signed directly by DigiCert TLS RSA4096 Root G5: 20 currently valid, 0 expired and 1 revoked (revoked includes those whose parent was revoked).

Showing 20 of 21: valid certificates first, newest first. Each name links to its crt.sh entry by SHA-256; an arrow marks a cross-certificate for another root on this site.

Cross-signed versions

9 certificate(s) in the CCADB have the same subject and public key as DigiCert TLS RSA4096 Root G5 but a different issuer. A server can send one of them so that clients which trust the issuing root, but not DigiCert TLS RSA4096 Root G5, can still build a chain.

CRL and OCSP addresses

In the root certificate

DigiCert TLS RSA4096 Root G5 itself contains no CRL Distribution Points and no OCSP (Authority Information Access) extension. That is normal for a root: clients trust it directly and do not check its own revocation status.

What happens when it expires

DigiCert TLS RSA4096 Root G5 is valid until 2046-01-14, about 19.2 years after this data snapshot (2026-11-10). From that day, browsers and operating systems that check trust-anchor expiry stop accepting chains that end at this root, so any certificate that can only chain to it fails validation. Android is a known exception: it does not enforce the expiry date of trust anchors.

Check whether your device trusts it

Each platform keeps its own root store. The commands below look up DigiCert TLS RSA4096 Root G5 by common name (DigiCert TLS RSA4096 Root G5) or fingerprint. The store status in each heading comes from the CCADB snapshot; your device can differ if it is out of date or managed by an administrator.

macOS (Apple store: Included · Trusted for TLS)

Search the system roots keychain by common name. -Z prints the SHA-256 hash, which must match the fingerprint on the last line.

security find-certificate -a -c "DigiCert TLS RSA4096 Root G5" -Z \
  /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain | grep "SHA-256"
# SHA-256 hash: 371A00DC0533B3721A7EEB40E8419E70799D2B0A0F2C1D80693165F7CEC4AD75

Windows (Microsoft store: Included · Trusted for TLS)

Windows identifies roots by SHA-1 thumbprint. It installs third-party roots on demand through Automatic Root Certificates Update, so "not found" can also mean the root has not been needed yet; certutil -generateSSTFromWU roots.sst downloads Microsoft's full list.

certutil -verifystore Root A78849DC5D7C758C8CDE399856B3AAD0B2A57135

Linux (ca-certificates follows Mozilla: Included · Trusted for TLS)

Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and RHEL build their ca-certificates package from Mozilla's root store. Use trust list on p11-kit systems, or search the PEM bundle on Debian and Ubuntu.

# Fedora / RHEL / Arch (p11-kit)
trust list --filter=ca-anchors | grep -iF -A2 "DigiCert TLS RSA4096 Root G5"
# Debian / Ubuntu (ca-certificates)
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
  | openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -noout | grep -iF "DigiCert TLS RSA4096 Root G5"

Java

Java ships its own cacerts keystore; JDK 9 and later accept -cacerts and the default store password is changeit. Search for the SHA-256 fingerprint in colon form.

keytool -list -cacerts -storepass changeit | grep -i "37:1A:00:DC:05:33:B3:72:1A:7E:EB:40:E8:41:9E:70:79:9D:2B:0A:0F:2C:1D:80:69:31:65:F7:CE:C4:AD:75"

Android

Android's system store is maintained by Google separately from the four CCADB stores above. Open Settings → Security & privacy → More security settings → Encryption & credentials → Trusted credentials → System (menu names vary by vendor and version) and look for DigiCert, Inc. → DigiCert TLS RSA4096 Root G5.

Which root does my site chain to?

List the chain your server sends and compare the last issuer with this root; the fingerprint check confirms a local copy.
