Digital certificate management

Timely notifications on the pending expiration of digital certificates significantly contribute to users obtaining a new certificate in due time, thus ensuring unimpeded work.

The IT-Kiosk contains a section to which employees can upload their digital certificates (only public key certificates can be uploaded). By uploading their certificates, certificate owners will be notified in advance (45, 30 and 15 days prior to expiration) by email on the pending expiration of their certificate.

An institutional digital certificate is a certificate issued on the basis of an application for qualified digital certificates for employees of enterprises and signed by the responsible person at the University of Maribor.

Digital certificate management in IT-Kiosk is primarily intended for the management of institutional certificates (e.g. digital certificate for access to eVŠ – e-enrolment service, server certificates, etc.), however, may also be used for any other (i.e. natural persons') digital certificate. The system administrator can access only information on institutional digital certificates.
