Client Certicate Expiry Date

Former Member — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 06:49:03 GMT

Hi,

I am going to implement a method for the alerting of the expiry of client certificates which are installed in every system. I will be doing it as it has been mentioned in OSS Note No. 572035. I need to create a test environment for the same in one of our sandbox systems. So i have to check the validity of the certificate in that system. How do i do that? Is it possible that i edit the date for testing purposes?

Regards,

Sridevi

Hi,

1.Stop the instance and change the date on the server.

Well, if you take a look into the list of root and intermediate certificates that are shipped with your browser (respectively your operating system) you'll find a whole bunch of expired certificates.

Well, you might just choose any of them and import them to the keystore (NWAS Java) or PSE (actually: the certificate list of a PSE, NWAS ABAP).
