Does Visa Developer use Geotrust?
Visa Developer leverages GeoTrust – which is a subsidiary CA of Symantec - for the SSL/TLS certificates for the three domains listed above. Of late, DigiCert took over validation and issuance for all Symantec Website Security SSL/TLS certificates. As a result, the new certificates for the three domains are being issued from a new PKI infrastructure from DigiCert. This means that the Root CA certificate installed in your Trust Store (that is used to make API calls to the above three domains) has to be changed over from GeoTrust to DigiCert.
