Replacement Certificate on Domain Controllers in ad.sfsu.edu Domain (Thursday, March 30, 8 p.m. - midnight)

Overview

ITS is renewing the security certificate for our domain controllers, which serve the LDAP/LDAPS connections, on Thursday, March 30, 2023, from 8 p.m. – midnight. This change will impact system services that connect to Active Directory via LDAPS. End users or clients should not experience issues with their connectivity to SFSU resources. ITS has coordinated with the service owners on this change.

Benefit: 

This change will ensure a secure connection to domain controllers in ad.sfsu.edu. Replacing this certificate enables encrypted communication between applications and domain controllers.

What Can You Expect

It is unlikely that this change could impact any applications that connect to domain controllers in the ad.sfsu.edu domain, such as secure LDAP. The applications require manually importing a new certificate. End users or clients should not experience issues with their connectivity to SFSU resources. Please let us know if you have any feedback or concerns.
