This manual describes the steps you need to take in order to create an account and gain access to the certificate service from Harica.

The certificate service from Harica offers the possibility to obtain certain types of certificates free of charge; these are marked as “free”. We recommend using only the types that are procured through Sunet/Geant (server certificates and email certificates).

Create an account and gain access to the service

To gain access to the service, approval from your manager/head of department is required, as well as a list of the domains for which you should be able to issue certificates. Certificates may only be issued for the institution you belong to (for example, an employee at institution X may only issue certificates for x.umu.se). If certificates need to be issued for other institutions, approval from the head of that institution is required. Approval is handled by placing an order via the ITS Servicedesk.

  1. If you do not already have a user account, create one by going to:
    Harica CertManager – Register (https://cm.harica.gr/Register)
  2. Fill in the fields. Note that the fields for first name and last name may not contain å/ä/ö or other special characters. Replace these characters with other letters.
  3. The email field must contain an @umu.se address.
  4. Then log in to the portal at: https://cm.harica.gr/

We do not provide support for certificate types that are obtained by paying for them with a credit card. More information about the service is available here: Sunet TCS 2025- Information for administrators – Sunet Wiki
