Welcome to the Jisc Certificate Service group. For an update on the NEW Jisc certificate service please follow the below link. The New Jisc Certiface Service  The service offers a number of different X509 SSL certificates, including Extended Validation certificates that give users the highest possible assurance, as well as S/MIME email certificates for digitally signing emails. Jisc has an agreement with the Certificate Authority, QuoVadis who is the provider of the certificates. The service has been running since 2006 and has issued many thousands of certificates to organisations in UK research and education. This is a Community group where users can obtain relevant information, receive service updates and provide feedback.

Change to Certificate Service's Terms and Conditions

24 January 2017 at 2:07pm

The service changed certificate provider to QuoVadis in 2015, and as part of that transition Jisc is obliged to ensure all organisations that use the Certificate Service comply with and agree to a QuoVadis ‘Sub-LRA Agreement’. We have therefore updated the Certificate Service Terms & Conditions to reflect this.

A copy of the Sub-LRA Agreement can additionally be found here: https://community.jisc.ac.uk/library/network-and-technology-service-documentation/sub-lra-agreement.

For the purposes of the Sub-LRA Agreement, existing Management Contacts will be deemed to be ‘Sub-LRA Officers’. Sub-LRA Officers perform essentially the same role as Management Contacts as they approve Certificate Requests on behalf of the organisation and are responsible for managing the list of Application Users requesting Certificates.

As a result, all organisations signed up to the Certificate Service have now been asked to complete this form listing all current Management Contacts & Sub-LRA Officers. Any customers yet to return the form must do so with urgency to avoid loss of service.

If the return of the form is likely to be delayed please contact the Trust and Identity support desk certificates@jisc.ac.uk
