Interruption of SSL certificate service

01.01.2025

Users of the ZID’s SSL certificate service can only request or renew SSL certificates from Sectigo until 9 January 2025. In order to process all requests in a timely manner, we ask you to take the following deadlines into account:

  • Request new certificates by 31 December 2024.
  • Renew certificates that expire in the first half of 2025 by 31 December 2024 at the latest. These are then expected to be valid for another year from the renewal date.

Please also check whether processes or services provided by your unit will be affected by the temporary suspension of the ZID’s SSL certificate service. If necessary, take appropriate measures. For example, from 1 January 2025, no new domains of the University of Vienna can be activated for the allocation of SSL certificate services.

Information on the progress of the search for a successor provider and on the ZID’s further steps can be found on the web page about the SSL certificate service

If you have any questions, please use the Servicedesk form IT-Security (login).

Thank you for your understanding.
