How to request an SSL certificate

InCommon SSL certificates

To begin the process of requesting an InCommon SSL certificate (new or renewal):

  • There is no cost to the community for InCommon certificates.

InCommon SSL certificates

  1. Generate a Certificate Signing Request

    Please note that InCommon requires that all CSRs be generated with a minimum of 2048 bits.

  2. After you submit the ticket, the ESS will submit your CSR to the InCommon Certification Authority and approve it for signing. Once this process is completed, you will receive an email with a link to download your certificate. You'll also receive a followup communication from the ESS.
  3. Once you verify that the certificate is valid, please update the TechConnect ticket (by replying to the ticket auto-response email you received when submitting your request or any subsequent correspondence) indicating as much.
  4. Once you have installed your InCommon SSL Certificate, you can verify that the installation was successful by using the SSL Certificate Installation Analyzer. Please be aware that the Intermediate/root certificate to the InCommon Certificate Authority may need to be installed.

If you have any questions, please email cert-admin@tufts.edu.
