Description
Penn's Information Systems and Computing division (ISC) maintains Penn's licenses with Internet2 to distribute InCommon Certificate Service throughout the University. OSL controls access to the InCommon Certificate site run by CertiNext and organizes the process by identifying who is requesting the cert, approving the requests, and tracking expiration dates. In some cases, special domain validation is needed which OSL coordinates. Before ordering, please have your CSR in .txt format ready to attach to your order form.
InCommon/CertiNext offers SSL/TLS, Wildcard and Multidomain certificates. All of the domains you own or control (.edu, .net, .org, .com, and others) are covered.
