I highly recommend anyone who can contact Godaddy and point them here. Come November when Google deprecates all SHA-1 certs, this will become a major issue. GoDaddy SSL Team Support Number: 1-48 - Email: - This is still a problem, and Godaddy appears to not care nor will do anything about it.

Here is their SSL team's contact info if you feel inclined to call: It seems users should avoid purchasing Godaddy SSL certs until they get serious about being a CA. Users of 3rd party services have zero control over how the cert is installed on the server. The work-around provided is just that, a work-around, not a solution. It is important to note that Godaddy's G2 CA server has been around for a minimum of 5 years, and in that time Godaddy has not taken the proper steps to resolve this known issue. There is a blog post here by Godaddy VP of Security Products from several months ago saying a fix was on it's way and provided a temporary work-around, but as-of today nothing has changed. UPDATE - This is still a problem, and Godaddy appears to not care nor will do anything about it. If possible, it's urged you upgrade your JRE/JDK to the latest Java 8 update to resolve this issue. UPDATE - It appears the most recent JRE/JDK for Java 8 (update >= 31) and JRE/JDK for Java 7 now include the Godaddy G2 CA server in the default trust store.
