Certificate Requests
Procedures for obtaining digital certificates for individuals and servers.
Servers
Server certificates are the most common type of certificate, typically used for secure (https://) websites. The information security office reviews certificate requests before approval.
Request a InCommon server certificate

Individuals
As of July 15, 2026, this is not currently available. Once we get personal client certificates working with our new certificate provider, we'll provide more details here.
InCommon Client Certificate Chain
These are no longer valid for new certs created after July 15, 2026. We'll replace these with CERTInext/emSign chain keys at a later date.
Some programs and devices, like the iPad, require installing each of the following certificates before an InCommon client certificate can be used for authentication. (NOTE: These are not the same certs used for server certificate chains.)
- AAA Certificate Services (root - expires 12/31/2028)
- USERTrust RSA CA (intermediate - expires 12/31/2028)
- InCommon RSA Standard Assurance Client CA 2 (intermediate - expires 11/15/2032)
