Obtaining a certificate

N.B. There si an ongoing issue with Digicert, the certificate provider, leading to certificates staying pending.
For now, you need to follow the procedure using either Safari, Edge, or firefox-esr (very easy to download and start).

Quick documentation

If you already requested certificates on one way or another, and/or you are a confident person, just:

 1. Go to http://www.digicert.com/sso;
 2. Choose your institution, and login;
 3. Request a Grid Premium certificate;
 4. You can now export the certificate from your browser if needed.
