Security Certificate Update on ad.sfsu.edu Domain Controllers (Friday, March 25, 2022, 8:00 p.m.-midnight)

Overview

On Friday, March 25, 2022, from 8:00 p.m.-midnight, ITS will renew the security certificate for our Domain Controllers which serve the LDAP/LDAPS connections. This change will impact system services that connect to Active Directory via LDAPS. This change has been coordinated with the impacted service owners. The certificate enables encrypted communication between applications and domain controllers.

What Can You Expect

End users or clients should not experience any issues with their connectivity to SF State resources. Application administrators should confirm that their applications which use secure LDAP have a valid certificate chain installed, and be prepared to install the updated certificate if needed.
