KI Certificate Information

KI can't use the Terena certificate project yet and employees currently have to request certificates from Nordugrid, which will require a 'face-to-face' identification. The basic procedure is as follows:

1 You generate a certificate-request and send it to PDC/ngca-ra@pdc.kth.se

2 Print the certificate request on paper.

3. We agree on a time when you can come by and identify yourself.

4. Bring the printout and id-papers (we usually recommend a passport)

In this way we know that you are who you are and that the certificate-request is the one that was sent to us.

When you arrive (teknikringem 14, 4 trappor) we will make a copy of your passport, compare your paper printout with what you sent us and sign your certificate request send it along to the CA in Denmark. CA in Denmark will send your signed certificate usually within 7 days.

Instructions for generating a NorduGrid CA can be found here.

NOTE: Users at Karloniska Institutet should contact their local IT department to push them to make it possible for them to use the terena portal. Using PDC for verifying users should be seen as a temporary solution.
