Certificate Expiration Check Service

The Certificate Expiration Check Service worker checks if a CA has certificates that are about to expire and sends an email notification to the end user and/or administrator.

You may configure multiple certificate expiration services specified with different Time before notification is sent values to further alert the user or administrator that a certificate is about to expire.

The following lists available worker settings:

Description

CAs to Check

Certificate Profiles to Check

If any certificate profile is selected from this list, the notification service will require that certificates are issued by the selected CAs AND that they are issued using one of the selected certificate profiles. Leaving this list empty will cause the service to search for certificates just based on the CA selection.
