Overview

UW Certificate Services enables self-service requests by registered owners of DNS names to obtain X.509 certificates from the UW Services CA and InCommon CA.

Registered owners of DNS names can manage their certificates via the UW Certificate Services website at https://iam-tools.u.washington.edu/cs/

Authorization is based on registered contact information for DNS names managed in UW DNS, and based on UW group memberships for DNS names managed outside of UW DNS.

InCommon CA or UW CA?  

In general we suggest the use of InCommon CA as the UWCA is slated fore retirement.  For more information see CA comparison.


InCommon CA

Recommended for:

  • Server certificates for website SSL

Features:

  • InCommon CA is rooted in a commercial CA certificate trusted by browsers and OSes.
  • Accepts certificate requests via the UW Certificate Services website.
  • Supports server certificates for UW websites and other services.
  • Supports unlimited server certificates for all UW-owned domains approved by InCommon.
  • Wildcard certificates available to registered owners of approved domains.
  • Certificates issued at no additional cost to UW departments; part of the basic services bundle.
  • End users don't need to install any additional root certificates.
  • Server admins must install the InCommon CA intermediate certificate.
  • Not trusted by most UW Web Services for client authentication.
