Automated Certificate Renewal
Automated certificate renewal reduces the need for manual certificate updates and helps prevent service interruptions caused by expired certificates. When enabled, certificates are renewed automatically within a defined renewal window.
Features and Benefits
- Enable or disable automated renewal per TSG
- Configure a renewal window per TSG to control when certificates are eligible for renewal
- Set a default issuing template for renewed certificates
- Automatically provision renewed certificates to their target locations
- Renew certificates within the specified window to reduce outage risk
- Support renewal of certificates managed within Next-Gen Trust Security
Audience and Use Cases
Automated certificate renewal is intended for administrators responsible for maintaining certificate availability across your inventory.
Common use cases include:
- Renewing certificates before expiration without manual intervention
- Reducing operational overhead when managing large certificate inventories
- Maintaining consistent certificate lifecycle behavior for all certificates
- Automating certificate provisioning after renewal to reduce deployment time
Note: If certificates are renewed using tools or workflows outside of Next-Gen Trust Security, automated renewal behavior may not be coordinated and could result in unexpected outcomes.
