About the Campus Intermediate Certificate

This URL is embedded into the Intermediate Certificate, which is part of the Certificate Chain for all Certificate Authorities at the University of Maryland at College Park.

This Intermediate certificate was generated at the Keysigning Ceremony on Friday, June 6, 2003. It replaces the April 14, 2003 intermediate certificate, which in turn replaced the February 24, 2003 intermediate certificate.

Some time after February 24, when the original certificates were generated, it was discovered that Internet Explorer imposes a strict nesting requirement on the expiration dates of the certificates in the chain. On April 14 new versions of the intermediate and server signing certificates, containing expiration dates that comport with Internet Explorer's requirements, were installed.

Later it was discovered that the Novell eDirectory server (a component of the new campus eMail system) cannot tolerate certificates using the new DC based naming scheme. On June 6 all certificates were rebuilt with Distinguished Name fields not containing DC or EMAIL components.

As with all Certificates, it can be listed using the x509 option of the OpenSSL program:

% openssl x509 -noout -text -in inter.cert.pem
