Warning Level - SSL certificate

wrongecho

I would prefer to avoid even more customisation, especially as granular as per certificate. I think this is something we can fix through good defaults, or at least better defaults.

I agree here.

Everyone has different preferences and processing times. Everyone needs a different lead time.

I would like to have a setting to generally display the time for certificates

So this doesn't get forgotten: https://tasks.dev.itflow.org/task_details.php?task_id=55

Just a note that LetsEncrypt is now discontinuing expiration emails: https://letsencrypt.org/2025/01/22/ending-expiration-emails/ making the likes if ITFlow more important for tracking them…

Alan Yeah I've been looking into this and am still uncertain how we reach a happy medium.

Did your LE certificate due to expire on the 7th renew yet? 😉

Alan

Haha, yes fortunately! 😃 The oldest LE cert that hasn't renewed yet now expires on the 24th.

Hello again,

Haven't had much further feedback on this. Johnny has already introduced a change into develop that changes certificate notifications to 1, 7 and 45 days. I've raised a PR that excludes LE certificates from the 45-day notifications, so you'll get notified at 7 days and 1 day before expiry for those - in my experience this is still enough notice to fix whatever broke certbot.

We can monitor feedback on this and adjust accordingly.

Alan

Configurable is ideal (even LE vs others), simply because some people need more time than 7 days to get their A into G for the bigger wildcard certs etc because they're going into multiple services. LE, yeah, 7 days is probably fine.

@Alan / @jonash Are you on the latest release yet? If so, how are you finding this change?

Alan

Haven't updated yet, on the to-do list this week (if everyone would just bugger off and leave me alone for a minute) 😃

(Also waiting for the dust to settle on the previous update issues)

Hi! Another person here is having the same issue, but with a different provider.

We use Google Trust Services and CloudFlare as SSL certificate providers for our sites. Unfortunately, we keep receiving the 45-day alert, as they typically renew certificates within 20-30 days.

Is there a way to add Google Trust Services to this "blacklist" via configuration or environment variables?

Thank you very much!

pecceg2 Hello. Are you running the latest release? The change was not scoped only to LE certs by issuer, but based on the certificate validity period being less than 90 days.
