**What happened?** 10/03/25 6:43 AM UTC Safeguard On-Demand Starling Edition that utilize Stargate connectivity dropped all connected clients. **What went wrong and why?** The SSL Certificate used in the Safeguard On-Demand Starling Edition environments that was set to expire soon was renewed and placed into production. While this new certificate functioned without issue with all other resources it was applied to, it was not tolerated well by the One Identity Safeguard Agent used on Windows servers. The Sectigo Root CA that was on the certificate was unfortunately not included by default in the Windows Trusted Root Authorities store of the hosts. **How did we respond?** The Safeguard On-Demand Starling Edition environments were rolled back to use the prior certificate. We have renewed the certificate utilizing another Certificate Authority. We have applied that new certificate and validated One Identity Safeguard Agent functionality. **How are we making incidents like this less likely or less impactful?** Our team will be moving away from our prior 3rd party certificate provider and using a new Certificate Authority. We will be automating the SSL Certificate workflow to expedite certificate creation. We will be making changes to improve our pre-production testing process to ensure certificate changes are tolerated by the One Identity Safeguard Agent on supported platform versions.
