SSL Certificate Expiration Date as System Tag
D
Dion Botha
We make sure all our Ignition network communication is secure using SSL certs and careful gateway configuration. We renew our certs annually. I am concerned that we may forget to renew one year and one day all our clients will be unusable until we resolve. Is it possible to add system tags such as cert expiration date so that we can for instance configure alarm (reminder) email notifications to trigger a certain duration prior to expiry?

We have also run into this on numerous occasions where the cert expired and did not know it until connections started dropping.

This happened to me, the ability to have a date or boolean or int based on the certificate would be invaluable so that an alarm could be triggered. Date in the system tags would be ideal, then I could send it preemptively.
We just had certificates ours expire for the first time and had me running around trying to get everything working while we are in production.
Would really like to for this to be usable so I can send alarm notifications to myself/the team so that we can pre-emptively update them next year to help eliminate the risk of forgetting.

My customer is subcontracting IT services and they forgot to renew the certificate.
It would be great to be able to advise the customer of a pending expiration and prevent downtime.
