Requesting a grid certificate using the Digicert SSO Portal
Due to brain damage at Google, you can no longer use Google Chromium for getting a Digicert certificate. Firefox stil works. And possible Safari and Internet Explorer. We have reports that Microsoft Edge doesn't work.
To request a Digicert grid certificate
1. Go to https://digicert.com/sso
2. Type the first characters of your university (or similar) and then select the Identity Provider to use for login.
3. Login at your home university.
4. Select the Grid Premium product.
5. Normally, leave the CSR field blank to get a key generated in your browser.
6. Press "Request Certificate".
7. Your certificate is generated and should be automatically imported into your browser.
Exporting the Digicert certificate for use with Swestore and other grid tools
To use the Digicert certificates with the ARC grid client they have to be exported from the browser and converted into a suitable format.
See Exporting a client certificate for detailed instructions on how to export a Digicert certificate from the most popular browsers.
See Preparing a client certificate for detailed instructions on how to prepare the exported certificate for use with grid tools.
