SSL Certificates
CIS has made an arrangement with InCommon for issuing digital certificates (cert). A cert is an electronic file containing personal information about its owner as well as the owner's public key, used to establish a web site owner's credentials when transactions on the Internet must be secured. Requests are managed by the office of Computing Accounts and Passwords (CAP).
In the Remedy IT Security Request schema, File a CIRT ticket with a Request Type of Digital Certificate and assign to the Webcerts group.
Please include in your ticket:
- the "common name" (i.e. the name of the server)
- the type of cert (SSL, Intranet SSL, Wildcard SSL, or Multi-Domain SSL)
- the server software ( Apache, HP, Microsoft IIS, Oracle, Red Hat, etc)
- the term of the cert (one, two, or three years)
- the CSR
If you need any support on the filling out of the ticket, please contact the CAP directly at cap@brown.edu or 3-4357. If you do not have Remedy access, you may also contact the Help Desk to file the ticket.
Free - the cost is covered by CIS
