Credential Expiry Alerter

The credential expiry alerter allows you to set up notification of expiring certificates, as well as for expired certificates that are still in the store. You can configure the following parameters:

  • Polling interval: Checks the expiry dates of certificates at a specified interval.

  • Number of days before a credential expires: Determine how far in advance you want to know of an upcoming credential expiration.

  • Notify email address: Sends the expiry notification to the specified email.

Note: To receive credential alert notification through emails, you have to configure the outbound SMTP proxy server.
