[RFE] Reduce validity for SSL Certificates to less than 39 months

XMLWordPrintable

      1. Proposed title of this feature request:
      [RFE] Reduce validity for SSL Certificates to less than 39 months

      2. What is the nature and description of the request?
      Reduce validity for SSL Certificates to less than 39 months.

      Starting 1 April 2015, Certification Authorities (CAs) are not permitted to issue SSL certificates (issued from a public root) with a validity period greater than 39 months. SSL/TLS certificate maximum validity is three years (39 months) for Domain Validated (DV) and Organization Validated (OV) Certificates. SSL certificates have limited validity periods so that the certificate's holder identity information is re-authenticated more frequently.
      When using Custom SSL Certificates, customer will have to replace the certificates each time he is upgrading the Satellite Server.

      3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
