XRamp Global Certification Authority
XRamp Global Certification Authority is a root CA certificate operated by SSL.com (RSA 2048, valid until 2035-01-01, SHA-256 CECDDC90). As of the latest CCADB data it is trusted for TLS server authentication by 1 of 4 major root stores: Microsoft.
Root store status

The CCADB lists EV policy OID 2.23.140.1.1, 2.16.840.1.114404.1.1.2.4.1 for this root, but Mozilla does not mark it as EV-enabled.

"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 23 intermediate CA certificates signed directly by XRamp Global Certification Authority: 6 currently valid, 2 expired and 15 revoked (revoked includes those whose parent was revoked).
Showing 20 of 23: 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 XRamp Global Certification Authority with a different issuer, so a client has to carry XRamp Global Certification Authority itself in its root store to trust it.

What happens when it expires
XRamp Global Certification Authority is valid until 2035-01-01, about 8.1 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 XRamp Global Certification Authority by common name (XRamp Global Certification Authority) 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 The store status in each heading comes from the CCADB snapshot; your device can differ if it is out of date or managed by an administrator.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)
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 "XRamp Global Certification Authority" -Z \
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain | grep "SHA-256"
# SHA-256 hash: CECDDC905099D8DADFC5B1D209B737CBE2C18CFB2C10C0FF0BCF0D3286FC1AA2
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 B80186D1EB9C86A54104CF3054F34C52B7E558C6
Linux (ca-certificates follows Mozilla: Removed)
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 "XRamp Global Certification Authority"
# Debian / Ubuntu (ca-certificates)
openssl crl2pkcs7 -nocrl -certfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \
| openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -noout | grep -iF "XRamp Global Certification Authority"
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 "CE:CD:DC:90:50:99:D8:DA:DF:C5:B1:D2:09:B7:37:CB:E2:C1:8C:FB:2C:10:C0:FF:0B:CF:0D:32:86:FC:1A:A2"
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 XRamp Security Services Inc → XRamp Global Certification Authority.
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 ssl-com-xramp-global-ca.pem -noout -subject -fingerprint -sha256
# sha256 Fingerprint=CE:CD:DC:90:50:99:D8:DA:DF:C5:B1:D2:09:B7:37:CB:E2:C1:8C:FB:2C:10:C0:FF:0B:CF:0D:32:86:FC:1A:A2
