SSL Certificate Expiry Notification

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate Expiry Notification feature automatically monitors SSL certificate expiration dates and sends email alerts to administrators to prevent service disruptions.

The SSL Certificate Expiry Notification feature automatically monitors SSL certificate expiration dates and sends email alerts to administrators.

The notification system operates as follows:

A scheduled job runs every morning at 8 AM to check the expiration date of SSL certificates.
If a certificate is going to expire within 7 days, the system triggers an email to the administrator with details about the certificate and recommended actions.
If the certificate is not renewed after 7 days and expires, the system sends daily email reminders to the administrator until the certificate is renewed.

This automated monitoring ensures administrators have sufficient advance notice to renew certificates during normal business hours and avoid emergency situations.
