Azure Artifact Signing Re-validation stuck "In Progress"

Yes. If identity validation is not renewed before expiration, certificate renewal stops and signing processes associated with those certificate profiles stop.

For the current re-validation:

1. Check the Identity Validation status in the Azure portal:
   • Open the Artifact Signing account.
   • Go to Objects or the account overview.
   • Select Identity Validation.
   • Confirm whether the request is still In Progress, Action Required, Completed, or Expired.
2. If the request is still In Progress after more than 10 days:
   • The documented processing time is 1 to 20 business days and can take longer if more documentation is needed.
   • Identity validation requests can’t be expedited.
   • For assistance, use Azure Support or Microsoft Q&A with the artifact-signing tag.
3. If the identity validation is already Expired or the Renew action shows validation errors:
   • Create a new Identity Validation in the Azure portal.
   • Renewal and identity validation can only be completed in the Azure portal, not with Azure CLI.
4. After renewal completes:
   • The status changes to Completed.
   • Within 24 hours, the new certificate is rotated.
   • If the new identity validation ID does not appear, go to Certificate Profiles.
   • Delete the existing certificate profile associated with the expiring identity validation, then create a new certificate profile with the same name and select the renewed identity validation.
   • Risk: recreating the certificate profile changes the EKU associated with that profile.
5. If more documents are requested:
   • Upload them in the Azure portal.
   • There are three attempts for documentation upload.
