Certificate-Key Management in Windows

The Windows operating system includes a built-in Certificate Manager that stores user and server certificates and keys.  Certain applications, including the Chrome web browser, use this centralized Certificate Manager for storing and retrieving certificate information in lieu of maintaining their own, separate certificate repositories.  One must use the Windows Certificate Manager in order to add a certificate-key pair to, remove from, or export certificate-key pairs from Chrome and other, similar applications.

Declaring Site Downtimes

Sites periodically need to declare a downtime, either one scheduled in advance (maintenance, etc.), or in some cases in response to a critical outage (power, cooling, etc.). In the latter case the ability to declare the outage quickly is useful in terms of informing ATLAS about the problem. This can avoid a situation where the site is down, but if the outage has not yet been reported then the site may begin receiving problem tickets like GGUS.

US sites have two options for declaring downtimes:
