Certificates: Change expiration time

Hi,

Is it possible to change the expiration date for the certificates that the UTM autogenerates upon user creation?

Now it is 25 years!!

Customer wants to have them regenerated every year.

Can this be done?

Regards Martin

In essence, the VPN Signing CA is the company certificate. When you generate a new one, just delete the old one. Another advantage to this is that they can choose their own "renewal" date.

Of course, if they want to invest in their own CA that has only a 1-yr lifetime, they could do that even though it risks disrupting things unnecessarily. I wouldn't want to be the CIO that sold that to my CEO though as it could easily lead to an RGO (resume-generating opportunity). [;)]
