Letsencrypt I only hear good things

Yeah, lets encrypt can just be scripted for the cert to be renewed
automatically, requires no host or reg support.

We’ve got no need for any higher form of cert (like an EV) and lets encrypt
is free, and low maintenance, so I am in favour of it.

Hi Brenden,

Like just about all registrars and their resellers, Gandi offers
certificates of various kinds, but they cost money (admittedly little)
and perhaps more important, require manual intervention to renew.

Mainly for the latter reason I would suggest at least starting with
letsencrypt.org. Its automatic update system works quite well nowadays
and does not require any special support from Gandi - it's basically
just a program that needs to be installed, once, and set up to run
automatically to renew the certificate as needed.

If you want to set it up, I'll be happy to help.

I wouldn't mind learning how to implement/manage a Let'sEncrypt cert.

But we really should consider the ongoing maintenance (namely who is
doing it). Does Gandi support keeping a LetEncrypt cert updated
automatically?

If not, maybe Gandi offers a cert service we should consider?

Dear all,

It was brought to my attention that ncuc.org does not use SSL.

There is no really good reason for that. It was one of the things
in my to-do list when I left NCUC EC rather suddenly in 2013,
and nobody picked the task up.

Back then it would've cost money, too, but now it could be done
for free using letsencrypt.org.

So I'd propose we do just that.

I can do it, it's easy enough, but I'm of course also happy to let
someone else do it (I can assist if someone wants to do it in order
to learn, too).
