Veeva Vault Maintenance Release Notification 

The Veeva Vault is scheduled to roll over the signing certificate used to sign SAML Single Sign-on requests and Spark Messaging connections. There is no expected downtime however user logins may be affected if proper action is not taken.

  

IMPORTANT 

The new certificate has been published and can be downloaded from here. Your IT organization needs to ensure that the new certificate is configured on your Enterprise Identity Provider system prior to the initial Certificate Rollover event. You also need to ensure that your Spark integrations don’t cache the certificate and are able to pick up the new certificate immediately after the rollover.

 

Learn more about the action required for the certificate rollover process.

 

Potential Impact to SAML Single Sign-on

Depending on your configuration, the new Vault certificate may need to be configured on your Enterprise Identity Provider system prior to the initial rollover event.

   

Potential Impact to Spark Connections

Ensure that your Spark integrations don’t cache the certificate in order for it to be picked up the moment it is rolled over.
