The JANET Certificate Service offers a range of features. Through a simple online interface it enables the automated processing of certificate requests, for all .ac.uk and gov.uk domains, along with the ability to monitor and manage new certificates that are issued. This includes certificate revocations and automated alerts when certificates are close to their expiry date. The online interface also allows federated access for nominated contacts. JANET(UK) will continue to absorb the costs of providing this service to its customers.

Case studies
Case studies are available of organisations that have already implemented the JANET Certificate Service:
Financial Transactions
In order to obtain server certificates that support financial transactions, JANET connected organisations are able to purchase Extended Validation (EV) certificates from Comodo CA at a discounted price of $150 (US Dollars) per annum.
These requests will be processed by Comodo directly and thus require no involvement from JANET(UK).
EV certificates can be requested by using one of the following links:
EV Certificates for a single domain
EV Certificates for multiple domains
Designed for securing multiple unique domains, for use with Microsoft Exchange 2007 and 2010, or Office Communications Server, where both external and internal domains are required such as mail.yourdomain.com, autodiscover.yourdomain.com, exchange1.yourdomain.local, etc.

The JANET Certificate Service is issuing wildcard certificates. The main use case identified for this type of certificate is to support the deployment of EZProxy servers. Wildcard certificates are not available through the normal web interface but upon request directly from JANET Service Desk.
Please click here for further information about how to obtain a Wildcard certificate.
Wildcard certificates are available at the sub-domain level, that is to say, they can be used to secure sub-domains but not to secure entire domains due to potential security implications. For example, certificates can be issued for *.proxy.example.ac.uk but not for *.example.ac.uk.
For further information please contact the JANET Service Desk (service@ja.net or telephone 0300 300 2212).
