Server Appliance Kit - Changing default self signed cert expiratio

[Guest joemoedee]

I have a server appliance which for customer access does not need anything

more than the self signed and generated Certificate. The problem is, these

last only a year. I really would rather them not see the expired certificate

warning. So, I have a two part question in reference to this.

 

1. Is there a way to change the default expiration to something greater than

a year?

 

2. Outside of having the customer log on to the box and delete the

certificates in IIS and through MMC and subsequently rebooting to regenerate

the certificates, is there a way to make the appliance renew the certificates

automatically?

 

Thanks!
