TLS Certificate Lifespan Changes

Salesforce has announced upcoming changes to Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate lifespans, in alignment with evolving industry standards defined by the Certification Authority Browser Forum (CA/BF).

This notice explains what is changing and how it applies to Simploud.

What’s Changing

Salesforce will enforce shorter maximum lifespans for new TLS certificates issued by public Certificate Authorities (CAs) according to the following timeline:

  • Until March 15, 2026: maximum lifespan of 398 days
  • As of March 15, 2026: maximum lifespan of 200 days
  • As of March 15, 2027: maximum lifespan of 100 days
  • As of March 15, 2029: maximum lifespan of 47 days

These limits apply only to new certificates created after each milestone. Existing certificates will retain their original expiration dates.

Self-signed certificates are explicitly excluded from these requirements.

Impact to Simploud

No action is required for Simploud customers.

Simploud uses self-signed certificates only, which are not subject to the CA/BF TLS certificate lifespan limits. As a result:

  • There is no impact to existing configurations
  • No certificate renewals are required
  • No service disruption is expected

Why This Update Is Being Shared
