"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 2 intermediate CA certificates signed directly by IdenTrust Commercial Root TLS ECC CA 2: 1 currently valid, 0 expired and 1 revoked (revoked includes those whose parent was revoked).
Showing 2 of 2: 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.
| Intermediate | Operated by | Expires | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| TrustID ECC Server CA 1 | IdenTrust Services, LLC | 2032-06-21 | Valid |
| ZeroSSL TLS ECC DV CA 1 | IdenTrust Services, LLC | 2029-10-20 | Revoked |
Cross-signed versions
2 certificate(s) in the CCADB have the same subject and public key as IdenTrust Commercial Root TLS ECC CA 2 but a different issuer. A server can send one of them so that clients which trust the issuing root, but not IdenTrust Commercial Root TLS ECC CA 2, can still build a chain.
| Signed by | CA owner | Expires | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| IdenTrust Commercial Root CA 1 crt.sh | IdenTrust Services, LLC | 2029-09-06 | Valid |
| IdenTrust Commercial Root CA 1 crt.sh | IdenTrust Services, LLC | 2029-02-02 | Revoked |
CRL and OCSP addresses
In the root certificate
IdenTrust Commercial Root TLS ECC CA 2 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
IdenTrust Commercial Root TLS ECC CA 2 is valid until 2039-04-11, about 12.4 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 IdenTrust Commercial Root TLS ECC CA 2 by common name (IdenTrust Commercial Root TLS ECC CA 2) 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: Not included)
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 "IdenTrust Commercial Root TLS ECC CA 2" -Z \
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain | grep "SHA-256"
# SHA-256 hash: 983D826BA9C87F653FF9E8384C5413E1D59ACF19DDC9C98CECAE5FDEA2AC229C
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 DA1310A3C0A704508A22AC4215B6C4FF19DCAA78
Linux (ca-certificates follows Mozilla: Not included)
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 "IdenTrust Commercial Root TLS ECC CA 2"
# Debian / Ubuntu (ca-certificates)
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
| openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -noout | grep -iF "IdenTrust Commercial Root TLS ECC CA 2"
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 "98:3D:82:6B:A9:C8:7F:65:3F:F9:E8:38:4C:54:13:E1:D5:9A:CF:19:DD:C9:C9:8C:EC:AE:5F:DE:A2:AC:22:9C"
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 IdenTrust → IdenTrust Commercial Root TLS ECC CA 2.
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.
# show subject (s:) and issuer (i:) of every certificate the server sends
openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -servername example.com -showcerts </dev/null 2>/dev/null \
| grep -E '^ *[0-9]+ s:|^ *i:'
# subject and SHA-256 fingerprint of the downloaded PEM file
openssl x509 -in identrust-commercial-root-tls-ecc-ca-2.pem -noout -subject -fingerprint -sha256
# sha256 Fingerprint=98:3D:82:6B:A9:C8:7F:65:3F:F9:E8:38:4C:54:13:E1:D5:9A:CF:19:DD:C9:C9:8C:EC:AE:5F:DE:A2:AC:22:9C
