The Carnegie Mellon Autodiscover service is used by email clients and mobile devices to configure and maintain email profiles for Cyrus and Exchange.

Because of this, users might receive a warning message stating that the certificate for 'autodiscover.andrew.cmu.edu' has expired and is not valid. Until this issue is resolved, users should click "Yes" or "OK" to accept the certificate and ignore the warning.

This warning message might be encountered when:

  • creating a new mail profile for Cyrus or Exchange with Outlook (Windows and Mac), Mac Mail or mobile devices (iPhone, Android, etc.).
