Information about the new JANET Certificate Service, apologies for any
cross-posting.
JANET(UK) is pleased to announce the launch of the new JANET Certificate
Service which will be available to customers from Wednesday 18th
November 2009.
The service will offer a range of new features, through a simple online
interface. This will enable the automated processing of certificate
requests along with the ability to monitor and manage new certificates
that are issued. This includes certificate revocation and automated
alerts when these certificates are close to their expiry date. The
online interface will also allow federated access for nominated
contacts.
Existing customers can take advantage of these additional features by
choosing to migrate to the new service. Invitations to migrate will be
sent out over the coming weeks. These changes will not affect the high
levels of service provided to customers with existing certificates.
JANET(UK) will continue to absorb the costs of providing this service to
its customers. The existing service will cease issuing certificates on
the 18th December 2009.
JANET(UK) is also pleased to be able to announce that all GlobalSign
certificates, issued as part of the original JANET Server Certificate
Service, will now continue to be valid for their stated lifespan. This
means that organisations in possession of certificates, issued as part
of this service, will not need to replace these certificates by April
2010.
