Service Alert: Potential Website Access Issues Due to Certificate Updates

Emergency Maintenance

Description

ITS is proactively updating security certificates across our environment in response to industry-wide security changes being implemented by external technology providers, including Edge, Chrome, Safari and Firefox, beginning November 16, 2026.

These changes are being driven by external security requirements and may impact access to certain websites and applications. While ITS is actively working to replace affected certificates and minimize disruptions, you may temporarily encounter certificate warnings.

If you experience a certificate-related error, please do not bypass the security warning. Contact the ITS Service Desk and provide a screenshot of the message for assistance. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to maintain secure and reliable access to our systems.
