By default, GeoTrust AutoInstall SSL is configured to automate the entire certificate lifecycle (including certificate renewals, updates, and re-installations) to ensure your SSL/TLS certificate never expires.
GeoTrust AutoInstall SSL will automatically issue and install a new certificate:
- When your existing certificate is 28 days from expiration
- If your certificate is ever scheduled for revocation by the certificate authority (CA).*
*Good news: This is a rare occurrence.
You can customize how many days before expiration GeoTrust AutoInstall SSL replaces the SSL certificate by editing the feature’s configuration options.
3 Key Takeaways
- AutoInstall SSL will take care of re-issuing and updating the SSL certificate.
- Your SSL subscription will renew every year so please make sure the card on your account has not expired.
- If AutoInstall SSL detects a problem that will stop it from replacing an expiring SSL certificate (for example, if your SSL certificate order didn’t renew due to an expired credit card), we’ll send you an email alert.
