Re: ALL Users of the ONR AwardWeb, AdminWeb, and PayWeb Systems. Vonnie Perkins 13 Dec 2006 14:52 EST
Hi Rich, Just completed the process for our Research Admin office. Only did 4 users and it has taken all day. I initially tried ECA and Verisign and kept getting HTTP: 500 errors part of the way into the application process. Found a troubleshooting tip on ECA's website about a change that needs to be made to the registry on Windows computers. After making the change I went to ECA's site to get the certificates. Had an unusual thing happen on every machine I was trying to register. It occurred after I set up the security level for the certificate. I would get the page with the print message at the top, but there would only be 2 pages. I had to hit the back button in my browser (IE), and then complete the security setting for the certificate all over again. Once I did that, I got the four page application and was able to print it out. There are very specific instructions concerning what to put in the photo ID boxes on page 2. Hopefully installing the certificate will be much easier than applying for it. I wish you luck! Vonnie Vonnie Y.

I¹m grateful to Steve Shapiro for offering initial insight as to the differences between the certificate vendors. But I admit, it¹s still a bit uncertain which vendors are best in practice... (VeriSign, ORC, or IdenTrust/ DST). Has anyone had the full buying/installing/using experience yet? Can we even test our certificates before January 4th? Finally, HOW does one use a traditional notary in obtaining these electronic certificates? -- Thanks for your time, Rich Magyar Systems Administrator Eastern Michigan University Graduate School & ORD 734-487-3090 xxxxxx@emich.edu ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Instructions on how to use the RESADM-L Mailing List, including subscription information and a web-searchable archive, are available via our web site at http://www.hrinet.org (click on "Listserv Lists") ======================================================================
