Secure Certificates slow
As a result of demand for replacement certificates because of the openssl bug “heartbleed,” processing of SSL certificates is slower then normal. Our CA, InCommon/Comodo has been inundated with requests. Please plan on delays in obtaining certificates. Current delays are a couple hours but could get longer. Additional information about heartbleed can be found here: http://heartbleed.com/
