SSL Certificate Request Form

Certificate Type *

Type of Request *

New Request - Receive a new certificate based on supplied CSR and information. This is for new domains or to change details on a certificate.

Renewal - Generate a certificate based on a previously-supplied CSR with other certificate fields kept the same.

Reissue - Revoke an old certificate and base a request on a new CSR with other certificate fields kept the same.

Certificates are only available for a 1 year duration.

Fully qualified domain name of the server *

(e.g., www-s.department.illinois.edu)

Additional domains to be secured

Domains should be fully qualified and comma separated. Do not include the original certificate FQDN.

Email address for long-term contact(s) *

For your long-term contact, Certificate Manager strongly recommends using a service or role account. Use of individual NetID email is discouraged due to risks associated with role or job turnover affecting certificate communications or validation from our vendor, Sectigo. (eg: use "unit-techsupport@illinois.edu", not "mynetid@illinois.edu")

Certificate signing request (CSR) generated by your secure server in PEM format *

CSRs ONLY - Do NOT submit your private key!! (How do I generate this?)
