The time has come! Since April 1, 2025, user certificates (S/MIME) can again be requested in the RA-Portal. After our previous certificate provider, Sectigo, terminated its contract on January 10, 2025, we now have a new provider. The German Research Network (DFN) and GÉANT have contracted a new provider for public-key certificates. The choice fell on the Greek trusted provider HARICA (Hellenic Academic & Research Institutions Certification Authority). HARICA is a certification authority of the Greek university network GUnet, is specially optimized for research institutions and meets the highest security standards.
Acceptance point for DFN certificate applications is still open!
Since May 14th, 2020, the personal acceptance point for DFN certificate applications is open. Here you can come by personally and submit your certificate applications quickly and easily – no matter whether you have an application fo a user, group or server certificate. You will find the personal acceptance point at the IT Center Seffenter Weg 23, at the upper entrance.
Application printed out, appointment booked, hygiene rules observed? Then you can start!
