Campus Certificate Authority Service
Free Certificate Authority Service
The Office of Information Technology offers a campus Certificate Authority (CA) service. The root CA certificate can be used to sign certificates for campus SSL websites. Departments may request certificates free of charge.
To request a certificate, please go to https://www.utah.edu/local/ca. After logging in, you should paste the text of your Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and indicate what the certificate will be used for.
If you are unfamiliar with how to generate a CSR, check out the http://sial.org/howto/openssl/csr/ web page.
Standards for Campus certificate services
- ISO minimum host/network requirements must be met. An initial vulnerability assessment will be performed as well as random follow-ups.
- Username/Password must not be cached.
- Applications must not store or pass password without approval.
- Username/Password must be encrypted in all transactions.
- Application design should provide for capturing suspicious activity, such as repeated login failures.
CAMpus Root CA Certificate
As more and more campus services start to use this internal CA, we are hoping that more campus computers will trust the CA certificate. That's where you can help -- on systems you build, image, or maintain, please install the University's root CA certificate into the system, browser, Java keystore, or whichever is relevant.
To download the campus root CA certificate, see http://www.it.utah.edu/services/networking/UofU_Public_CA_Cert.cer.
