FAQs about SSL Certificate Lifecycle Automation
- What does it mean to automate the SSL certificate lifecycle?
Automating the SSL certificate lifecycle means that all stages from requesting and issuing and installing on servers, to renewing and revoking certificates, are automatically managed by a platform. This eliminates the need for manual intervention and reduces the risk of errors.
- What are the benefits of SSL certificate automation?
Automating SSL certificate management saves time, prevents accidental certificate expiration, reduces the workload of the IT team, and improves security by ensuring that valid and up-to-date certificates are always maintained.
- How does automation help prevent disruption?
Automation eliminates the possibility of a certificate inadvertently expiring, as the system renews certificates before they expire and sends renewal alerts. This ensures that service continues without interruptions due to expired certificates.
- What types of SSL certificates can be managed automatically?
Our solution supports automatic management of different types of SSL certificates, such as Domain Validation (DV), Organization Validation (OV), and Extended Validation (EV), as well as multi-domain (SAN) and wildcard certificates.
- Is it safe to automate the certificate lifecycle?
Yes, it is very safe. The automation platform follows advanced encryption protocols and features strict authentication and access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can manage certificates.
- What if I already have SSL certificates installed manually?
The platform allows the integration of pre-existing SSL certificates, which can be brought into the automation system for easy, centralized management of upcoming renewal cycles.
- What happens when a certificate is about to expire?
The platform sends automatic alerts before the expiration date and, in most cases, initiates the renewal process automatically. This allows administrators to review and approve the renewal when necessary.
- Does the automation platform support all applications and devices?
Yes, the platform is designed to support a wide range of applications, systems and devices. It also allows the use of multiple CAs (certification authorities), ensuring flexibility in different environments.
- What technical requirements are necessary to implement automation?
Implementation is simple, as the automation platform is offered as SaaS (Software as a Service) and only requires client software to manage certificate requests. It supports tools such as Certbot and ACME protocols.
- How long does it take to issue an SSL certificate with the automated system?
The system can issue certificates in less than 2 hours once validated, and in some cases, in less than 15 minutes for already approved domains.
FAQs about TLS Certificate Lifespan Reduction
- What is the new policy regarding the maximum lifetime of TLS certificates, and when will it go into effect?
The new policy, established by the CA/Browser Forum, progressively reduces the maximum lifetime of TLS certificates. The schedule is as follows: until March 15, 2026, the maximum lifetime will be 398 days. Starting on March 15, 2026, it will be reduced to 200 days. On March 15, 2027, it will be 100 days, and finally, on March 15, 2029, the maximum lifetime will be only 47 days.
- Why is the lifetime of TLS certificates being reduced to 47 days?
The main reason behind this reduction is that the information contained in certificates becomes less reliable over time. Frequent revalidation is necessary to mitigate this problem. Furthermore, the current certificate revocation system (CRLs and OCSP) is considered unreliable, as browsers often ignore it. Shorter lifecycles help reduce the impact of using potentially revoked certificates.
- How will this new policy affect domain validation and Subject Identity Information (SII)?
The policy also reduces the maximum period for which domain and IP validation information can be reused. As with certificate lifetime, this period will be gradually reduced to 10 days starting March 15, 2029. Additionally, starting March 15, 2026, Subject Identity Information (SII) validation, found in OV and EV certificates (excluding the domain name or IP address), can only be reused for a maximum of 398 days, down from 825 days previously. This does not affect DV certificates, which do not contain SII.
- What implications does the reduction in certificate lifetimes have for certificate lifecycle management?
The drastic reduction in TLS certificate lifetimes to 47 days by 2029 makes certificate lifecycle management automation essential. Manually reissuing and reinstalling certificates so frequently would be practically unfeasible and prone to errors and disruptions.
- Will certificate costs increase due to the need to replace them more frequently?
No. In reality, certificate costs are generally based on an annual subscription. As users adopt automation, the cost of generating, issuing, and installing certificates will decrease.
- What solutions exist to automate TLS certificate lifecycle management?
Entorno offers automation solutions through various CAs such as Sectigo, Digicert, Globalsign, and Actalis, including support for the ACME (Automated Certificate Management Environment) protocol. ACME allows for the automation of DV, OV, and EV certificates, and also includes support for ARI (ACME Renewal Information).
- What role did Apple play in this decision to reduce the TLS certificate lifecycle?
Apple was a strong supporter of this initiative, presenting the proposal at the CA/Browser Forum. They argued that the progressive reduction in certificate lifecycles over the years already indicated the need for automation for effective certificate management. They also emphasized that information in certificates loses reliability over time, and that the current revocation system is not sufficiently reliable.
- What should I do to prepare for these changes to the TLS certificate lifecycle?
The primary preparation involves adopting and implementing automation solutions for TLS certificate lifecycle management. This includes automated certificate issuance, installation, inspection, remediation, and renewal. Automation will ensure that certificates are replaced before expiration without causing service disruptions. It is recommended to contact certificate providers for information on available automation tools and solutions.
