The SA NREN certificate service is specifically scoped to AC.ZA domain holders and is only available to institutions that have signed our REN Services Agreement. This allows us to keep the costs of the service down, and make it available to institutions that consume a bundle of NREN services at no additional cost.
As of 2023, the service does make provision for eligible organisations to request certificates that contain non-AC.ZA domains. However, the RAO will need to provide an explanation/motivation for each additional domain.
