Client Authentication in public SSL certificates: what changes from 2026 and which solutions to adopt
Starting from April 15, 2026, new rules issued by the Google Chrome Root Program will come into effect, impacting the use of Client Authentication (clientAuth) in public SSL/TLS certificates.Specifically, server SSL certificates will no longer be allowed to include the EKU dedicated to client authentication, an essential element in mTLS (mutual TLS) contexts and in machine-to-machine communications. Traditional web browsing will not be affected, but for some application integrations it will be necessary to evaluate suitable alternatives. In this article, we analyze the context, the reasons behind the change, and the solutions available through Actalis to ensure continuity and compliance.
Free and unlimited DV certificates: Actalis becomes Europe’s reference point for ACME-based web security
A safer, more accessible digital ecosystem for everyone: that’s the vision behind Actalis’s new initiative. As part of the Aruba Group, Actalis now offers free and unlimited Domain Validated (DV) SSL certificates, available through the ACME (Automatic Certificate Management Environment) protocol. This move puts Actalis on par with global leaders in automated certificate issuance – while standing apart through its guarantee of full European governance, transparency and regulatory compliance.
The ACME protocol for Automated Certificate Management
The ACME (Automated Certificate Management Environment) protocol was developed to automate how digital certificates are issued and managed – key tools for securing websites and online services. Traditionally, keeping SSL/TLS certificates up to date was a manual, time-consuming task. ACME removes much of that overhead by automating the entire process.
