Configuring Expiry Alerts

Digital certificates are issued with a validity period predefined by the certificate authorities. When a certificate outgrows this validity period, it is no longer trusted and the services consuming the certificate are considered broken.

AppViewX lets you create certificate expiry alerts, which are proactive notifications to customers to renew the certificates that are due for expiry.

The alerts are primarily created based on the period of certificate expiry (certificates expiring on a specific date, certificates expiring after x number of days, and so on). The emails also include a certificate renewal link, thus simplifying the CLM process.

The following sections list the prerequisites for configuring the expiry alerts and the configuration steps.
