MSU participates in the InCommon SSL Certificate Program, powered by Sectigo, which entitles MSU to provide 2048-bit SSL certificates for MSU servers.
Secure websites use encryption and authentication standards to protect the confidentiality of the connection and data, and SSL is commonly used.
Network administrators can request an individual SSL certificate or unlimited sub-domain SSL certificates through online MSU request forms.
There is no charge to MSU departments for SSL certificates. MSU departments may request an unlimited number of SSL certificates.
Service requests are processed within one business day, though generally requests are processed as they are received. Certificates are approved at MSU and then are issued by InCommon/Sectigo, usually within 24 hours. When a request is made, an expected fulfillment date is provided and sent to the individual requesting the service.
