Acquiring a Private Certificate

To obtain an eToken and have the electronic certificate installed on your eToken, students must first purchase one from Computing Sales and Service at 171 Carson Hall. After purchasing the eToken, go to the Student IT Service Desk (Help Desk) at 172 Carson Hall. Faculty and staff should contact their department's IT support office. Everyone needing a certificate on their eToken will need to show their Dartmouth I.D. card or other form of picture identification, such as a driver's license or passport, to verify that you are the person whose name is going to be put on the eToken.

Your eToken password is important. For help with selecting a good password, see Selecting a Password. If you want to change the password on your eToken sometime in the future, go to the eToken Properties application in your Programs or Applications listing and change it, but be sure to keep the password strong. This does not affect the value of the private key on the eToken, just access to the other information on the eToken.

If you have questions, please contact the IT Service Desk (Help Desk) at 646-2999 and select from the options provided, send electronic mail to help@dartmouth.edu, or call your department's IT support office.
