Manually Requesting A Certificate
We strongly recommend that all IT operations use automated certificate renewal processes as soon as possible to avoid preventable degradation in services to our customers, and begin migrating certificate processes off of the legacy cert.tamu.edu application. Please implement automated certificate renewal processes in any instance where your applications and services support it.
To manually request a certificate, first you'll need to generate a "Certificate Signing Request". We recommend using the cross-platform Step CLI to generate it; it works on Windows, macOS, and any flavor of Linux.
Once you have a CSR, log in to cert.tamu.edu and click on Request SSL Certificate. Upload or paste in your CSR, and complete the other form fields.
For external domains (such as .com or .org domains), we will no longer validate and issue certificates for new entries.
Existing validated external domains managed in the Texas A&M certificate service will be permitted to continue issuing certificates until their domain validation expires.
