"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 5 intermediate CA certificates signed directly by OATI WebCARES Root CA: 3 currently valid, 2 expired and 0 revoked (revoked includes those whose parent was revoked).

Showing 5 of 5: 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

No certificate in the CCADB has the same subject and public key as OATI WebCARES Root CA with a different issuer, so a client has to carry OATI WebCARES Root CA itself in its root store to trust it.

What happens when it expires

OATI WebCARES Root CA is valid until 2038-06-03, about 11.6 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 OATI WebCARES Root CA by common name (OATI WebCARES Root CA) 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 The store status in each heading comes from the CCADB snapshot; your device can differ if it is out of date or managed by an administrator.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 "OATI WebCARES Root CA" -Z \
  /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain | grep "SHA-256"
# SHA-256 hash: 7A77C6C61EEEB9AA65C4EA410D65D895B26A81123283009DB104B48DE80B2479

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.

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 "OATI WebCARES Root CA"
# Debian / Ubuntu (ca-certificates)
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
  | openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -noout | grep -iF "OATI WebCARES Root CA"

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 "7A:77:C6:C6:1E:EE:B9:AA:65:C4:EA:41:0D:65:D8:95:B2:6A:81:12:32:83:00:9D:B1:04:B4:8D:E8:0B:24:79"

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 Open Access Technology International Inc → OATI WebCARES Root CA.

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.
