Due to a technical anomaly, we are forced to temporarily switch eiDAS certificates to non-eiDAS X509 certificates.

Depending on the services concerned, the deadlines requiring a change are as follows:

https://api-openbanking.cmb.fr 2021-09-16: 13:00

https://api-openbanking.cmso.com 2021-09-16: 13:00

If you control the type of certificate during your MTLS calls, you may be impacted. We therefore recommend that you apply a standard X509 check and deactivate the eiDAS checks.

The time to return to a normal situation allowing the use of eiDAS certificates is at least 3 weeks.

We are aware of the inconvenience this may cause you given the short notice, and we apologize for it.
