UW Certificate Services enables self-service support for registered UW DNS contacts to obtain X.509 certificates from the UW Services CA and InCommon CA.
Authorized individuals can log in to the UW Certificate Services website at https://iam-tools.u.washington.edu/cs/
The UW Services CA supports server certificates for UW websites and client certificates for UW applications.
The UW Services CA is not trusted by browsers by default. To avoid browser warnings, users must install the UW Services CA root certificate.
The UW Certificate Services brokers certificate requests to the InCommon CA.
The InCommon CA is rooted in a CA certificate trusted by browsers, so users don't need to install any additional root certificates. Server admins will need to install the InCommon intermediate certificate.
