My goal: renew certificates at their earliest possibility. This gives me the maximum time to fix any issues. I combine the above with monitoring to raise alerts if any tickets have less than 28 days left before they expire. Should the cert-renewal process not run on a given day, no big deal, it runs the next day. I had considered running it less frequently, but settled on daily. -- Dan Langille [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
