SSL Certificate Expiration

Certificates are valid for a restricted period of time. SecureSphere provides the following capabilities for dealing with certificate expiration:

• A System Event is generated as the certificate is close to the expiration day. The event is generated on SOM when the SOM certificate is about to reach its expiration, and on each MX as its own certificate is close to the expiration day.
• A new certificate may be automatically generated when the existing one expires.

To define SSL certificate expiration on SOM and on MX:

1. In the Main workspace, select Setup > Settings. Select SOM to MX Communication Settings. The SOM to MX Communication Settings pane appears.
2. In the SOM to MX Communication Settings pane, set the items in the table SSL Certification Expiration Settings below.
3. Click Save.
