Bitbucket’s SSL certificates are changing

On March 7th at 22:00 UTC, we’ll be updating our SSL certificates to replace ones that will be expiring soon. It’s likely that you won’t notice any changes and won’t need to take any action. However, if you’re using Mercurial over HTTPS, you may see this error message:

abort: certificate for bitbucket.org has unexpected fingerprint
67:b3:bf:9f:c5:38:0e:4c:dd:4e:8a:da:3d:11:1b:c2:a5:d1:6c:6b
(check hostfingerprint configuration)

If you see this error, you’ll need to update the host fingerprint for bitbucket.org in your ~/.hgrc or Mercurial.ini configuration file:

[hostfingerprints]
bitbucket.org = 67:b3:bf:9f:c5:38:0e:4c:dd:4e:8a:da:3d:11:1b:c2:a5:d1:6c:6b

Thanks, and happy forking!
