The SA NREN Certificate Service is currently available to TENET beneficiary institutions as part of our bundle of NREN services at no additional cost, which means there's a potential for savings on your existing SSL certificate bill.
To take advantage of this offering, you need to get the person normally authorised to place orders on TENET to request the service. That person needs to nominate and provide contact details for an initial Registration Authority Officer (RAO), and to indicate which ac.za domain(s) they would like included. The RAO will be responsible for approving certificates within the organisation and needs to have both a technical understanding of certificates and a sufficient understanding of your institutional processes to be able to make informed decisions. The initial RAO can, in turn, delegate responsibility to other RAOs or departmental RAOs (for sub-domains) within your organisation.
Once provisioned, we will need to complete organisational validation before you're able to issue any certificates. This may require additional documentation.
