Monitoring - CertiNext has started issuing ECC certificates chained to their "emSign Root TLS CA - G1" root, which is still currently available in the trust stores operated by Mozilla, Google, Microsoft, and Apple.
The ACME proxies, acme-single.it.tamu.edu and acme-multi.it.tamu.edu, have also been restored.
System administrators are now able to issue RSA and ECC certificates as normal.
If you encounter any issues issuing certificates, please reach out to certificates@tamu.edu.

Update - Administrators are still investigating. There is no estimated time to resolution. If you have an urgent need to issue a replacement RSA certificate, please reach out to certificates@tamu.edu.

Update - Due to the revocation of the "emSign ECC Root CA - G3" root certificate, we are experiencing connection issues with the ACME proxies, acme-single.it.tamu.edu and acme-multi.it.tamu.edu. There is no estimated time to resolution. If you have an urgent need to issue a replacement RSA certificate, please reach out to certificates@tamu.edu.

Identified - On October 18th, 8 intermediate certificates issued by eMudhra, the CA upstream of CertiNext - our certificate issuance provider, were revoked by the trust stores ran by Mozilla, Google, and Apple. At about 8AM today, Mozilla announced that in addition to the 8 intermediate certificates, they would also be removing the root "emSign ECC Root CA - G3". This root is the trust anchor for ECC certificates issued through CertiNext/Internet 2's Certificate Service. eMudhra has announced that they have immediately stopped issuance from this root in advance of the emergency removal.
Once the root is removed, impacted systems may exhibit secure connection issues with errors such as:
"Your connection isn't private" (Microsoft Edge/Google Chrome/Safari)
"Be careful. Something doesn't look right." (Firefox)
This can also prevent secure connections for automated processes.
We advise that all system administrators utilizing ECC certificates re-issue certificates on affected systems using RSA key types immediately where possible.
For certbot, this can be done via the command line flag --key-type RSA
For simple-acme, this can be done via the command line flag --csr rsa
We will continue providing updates as more information becomes available.

Matlab Server Update to Support Matlab 2026b Oct 25, 2026 17:00-19:00 CDT
Begin Time: 10/25/2026, 5:00PM
End Time: 10/25/2026, 7:00PM
Details of Maintenance: Technology Services will be updating the Matlab licensing server to add Matlab 2026b on October 25, from 5pm to 7pm.
Impact to Users: During the maintenance window, Matlab will not be able to check out new licenses to launch the client. Matlab clients already running will continue without interruption unless problems arise during the maintenance window. We recommend saving any open Matlab files the night before.
If problems persist after the scheduled maintenance window, please contact the Texas A&M Technology Services Help Desk Central at 979.845.8300 or at helpdesk@tamu.edu for further assistance.
