It was all a bit last minute, and the city had to act quickly to ensure their digital services remained secure and accessible. The main objective was to get the new certificates in place as soon as possible without disrupting online services.
In this situation, Pori got in touch with Mintly’s SSL team and the decision was taken to remove the old certificate and create a new request file (CSR) to obtain new certification. As speed was of the essence, Pori’s IT Services and Mintly’s team had to work very closely together.
Kaija Laurila, the person heading the project at Pori’s IT Services described the experience as positive. After sending the CSR, they received the new certificate within 15 minutes. She stressed that urgent cases are rare, but when they do occur, a quick and efficient response was very welcome! Laurila thanked the Mintly team for their help in this difficult situation, which ensured that Pori Municipality’s digital services had minimal interruption.
Pori Municipality agreed in advance on a certificate order with Mintly’s SSL team. The previous certificate was no longer valid due to the new legislation about public key size, and the only way was to remove it before the new certificate request file was created. Downtime had to be kept as short as possible. We managed to synchronize our schedules so well with Mintly that after sending the CSR, the new certificate was in place in just 15 minutes! It’s not often that we have this kind of a situation, but when it does this kind of rapid response is much appreciated.
