Option 3 "here" redirect redirects to the old website with a holding page requesting that you come back to the site. Seems a little odd.
Hi Peter, apologies for the out of date link, the web page has now been updated. It now reflects that migration of the Janet Certificate Service to a new JCS web app on this site, accessible from the 'App Centre' tab on the top right. To access it you will need to log in with your new Janet Community credentials, or if you have linked your federated credentials to that account, with your 'Institutional log-in'.
From the app you will be able to purchase certificate credits, request and obtain certificates in the usual manner.
My account is registered for schools as I can see the option to select for schools but it is still requesting I have credits.
Are the certificates free for schools or has this changed? If it's free, I assume I am doing something wrong.
Hi Peter, from the 3 June, the JCS service is a charged-for service, which includes certificates for schools. You will need to purchase a bundle of certificate credits before you can request a certificate, all can be done online through the new JCS web app (https://community.ja.net/apps/janet-certificate-service)
Hi Simon,
Thanks for the update.
I have filled in the form to submit a SSL cert on behalf of the school. When getting to the school information page, it asks for the school name. There is no lookup field like before and when trying to enter the school name, nothing seems to validate. I have tried the DfES and also copy/pasted the name from Nominet with no luck
Can you please advise if I am doing something wrong? Or do I just submit the request with out ticking it's for a school.
Thanks for your time.
Pete
