Guest Thomas M. Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 My employer recently had a major outage because an SSL certificate expired. Consequently, we are now trying to get a better handle on our SSL certificates. Toward that end, we are looking for a way to centrally manage our SSL certificates. We have an environment that includes Windows 2003, Unix, Linux, and Novell servers, and a mainframe system. I would be interested in knowing if anyone out there has any experience with products that can centrally manage SSL certificates, and if so what are the names of the products and the pros can cons of each product that you've used? I would also be interested in hearing from anyone who has a scripting solution for this problem. Thanks for any help that you can offer. --Tom
Guest AllenM Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Re: Managing SSL Certificates What about the Certificate Console.msc tool. You can manage all your ccertificates there as well as disply expiration dates.

Guest Thomas M. Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Re: Managing SSL Certificates That tool only looks at the local machine by default. I know that it can be configured to look at remote machines, but we have hundreds of servers that would need to be configured in the snap-in, so unless there is something that I am missing it seems to me that using MMC is not really a workable solution. --Tom "AllenM" <noreply@NoEmail.com> wrote in message news:%23kk4FiZKJHA.2208@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > What about the Certificate Console.msc tool.
