Configuring default auto-renewal settings

You can configure global default settings for certificate auto-renewal. These settings apply to all applications that have auto-renewal enabled, unless they are explicitly overridden at the application level.
Auto-renewal runs daily for Next-Gen Trust Security accounts that have auto-renewal enabled for at least one application.
By default, auto-renewal is disabled for newly created applications.

Prerequisite

You must have appropriate administrative permissions to configure global auto-renewal settings.
For information about enabling auto-renewal at the application level, see Enabling and configuring certificate auto-renewal.

To configure auto-renewal defaults

  1. Sign in to Next-Gen Trust Security.
  2. Click Configuration > Certificate Lifecycle.
  3. Click Certificate Auto-Renewal and Provisioning.
  4. Specify the Auto-renewal window (in days).
    Certificates with expiration dates that fall within this window are eligible for renewal when auto-renewal runs. This value can be overridden at the application level.
  5. (Optional) Click Run Now to immediately renew and provision eligible certificates.
After you complete these steps, Next-Gen Trust Security automatically renews eligible certificates based on the configured settings.

Notes about certificate auto-renewal scans

Auto-renewal scans run daily to identify certificates that are eligible for renewal and fall within the configured renewal window.
  • If renewal for an eligible certificate fails, it is retried during the next daily scan while the certificate remains within the renewal window.
  • If a certificate renewal is already in progress, a new renewal attempt is not started.
  • If an eligible certificate is associated with multiple applications that have auto-renewal enabled, the application with the longer renewal window initiates the renewal.
Daily scans do not run if no applications have auto-renewal enabled.
