Digital Certificate Services
To request a free digital certificate please visit the
IPSCA SSL Web Server Certificate Enrollment Form. The 2-year education ones are free.
For certificates with a higher level of assurance,
Information Technology Services and Security
at MTU has a license to provide digital certificates from
GlobalSign.
The current cost of a certificate that will
last for one (1) year is $200.00 and for two (2) years is $319.
After your request is processed, please send an account number
to be used by ITSS for interaccount billing to
dcscertadmin@mtu.edu.
To request a digital certificate from GeoTrust please visit the
MTU Public Ordering URL.
When you go to this page you should already have a Certificate Signing
Request (CSR). If you don't have a CSR, please visit
http://www.it.mtu.edu/dcs/digital_certs/gen_csr.html
for terse instructions on how to generate a private key and CSR using
OpenSSL. Please note that Globalsign does have instructions on their
web site on how to do this.
The most common choice will probably be Apache + MODSSL.
You will then just follow the instructions. Some caveats follow:
- If your certificate is expired or expiring in under one
month you can not take advantage of the "Competitive
Replacement".
- Please choose a "Validity Period" of 1 or 2 years.
- Under "Site Administrator" please put:
First Name: David
Last Name: Hale
Phone Number: 906-487-1727
Email: dcscertadmin@mtu.edu
The dcscertadmin@mtu.edu email address is an RT queue.

The Organization Name to use in your CSR is always Michigan
Technological University
