GridRootCertificates

Root Certificates used on the Grid

Introduction

The Grid uses a number of services with certificates signed by a CA (Certificate Authority) which may not appear in a browser certificate bundle by default. If these root certificates are not added to the browser store (or keychain in the case of macOS), exceptions have to be made when accessing associated HTTPS sites.

Below is a list of Grid services; in each case the name of the service is given along with the appropriate CA and a note as to whether you might expect it to be bundled with a web browser. To avoid duplication, we recommend visiting the TACAR (Trusted Academic Certification Authority Repository) website to retrieve the required CA.
