Oh no! My SSL Certificate Expired.

May 8th, 2009

For the last few days I have been getting emails from my server to the tune of:

################# SSL Certificate Warning ################

Certificate for hostname ‘myserver.example.com’, in file:

/etc/pki/tls/certs/myserver.example.com.cert

The certificate needs to be renewed; this can be done

using the ‘genkey’ program.

Browsers will not be able to correctly connect to this

web site using SSL until the certificate is renewed.

##########################################################

which leads me to believe my certificate has expired. I logged into my site and sure enough, it expired 30-days after I created it. I don’t think I have ever had a certificate with such a short life. » More: Oh no! My SSL Certificate Expired.
