<div dir="ltr">Dear all, <div>The NCO switched over to Let's Encrypt a good while ago and it's been pretty painless. Whatever you are using for encryption on your own servers, we do need to coordinate to ensure that you can use <a href="http://XXX.lternet.edu" target="_blank">XXX.lternet.edu</a> as your web site alias. </div><div><br></div><div>Nick Outin (copied here) is the sysad for NCEAS and your main point of contact for making sure that our CNAME is included in your DNS and vice versa.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks, Marty</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 22, 2019 at 8:56 PM Mark Servilla <<a href="mailto:mark.servilla@gmail.com" target="_blank">mark.servilla@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">Dear IM,</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">In short, if you are not dependent on or do not use the Network Solutions provided *.<a href="http://lternet.edu" target="_blank">lternet.edu</a> SSL certificate made available through EDI in any way, then you may safely ignore this email.

As such, EDI will no longer renew the Network Solutions *.<a href="http://lternet.edu" target="_blank">lternet.edu</a> certificate, which is scheduled to expire on 22 October 2019. We believe the service provided by LetsEncrypt fully meets our Internet security needs, and it is free of cost. Initial setup and installation of the LetsEncrypt certificate is only marginally more complicated than the use of traditional certificates (if at all), and there exist many LetsEncrypt tutorials on the Internet for a variety of host operating systems, including Ubuntu 18.04 (<a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-18-04" target="_blank">https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-18-04</a>). To re-emphasize, EDI will not renew the Network Solutions *.<a href="http://lternet.edu" target="_blank">lternet.edu</a> SSL certificate, so please plan accordingly if you use this certificate. We will be glad to assist you to the best of our ability if you do decide to use LetsEncrypt provisioned certificates - just let us know. Thank you.</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">Sincerely,</font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif">Mark</font></div></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="m_-6617986176523764524gmail-m_-6197283673786833854gmail_signature"><br>---<br>Mark Servilla<br><a href="mailto:mark.servilla@gmail.com" target="_blank">mark.servilla@gmail.com</a></div></div></div></div>
