RELATED IDEAS

Early warning when an ISP server certificate cert256.arm expires and a smooth method for renewing the certificate.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The server certificate cert256.arm (public key), expires after 10 years without warning. After that, access to the ISP server is no longer possible from one second to the next. The server must be stopped hard. A warning in the Actlog, e.g. three months before the certificate expires, would be very desirable.
It would also be desirable if there were a way to renew the certificate and all client certificates on the fly and without server downtime.
Above all, it would be good if IBM prepared its clients for such a case at an early stage.

    What ANR message should we look for, to detect early warning?

    As well as an early notification in the act log, which I understand was already suggested, it would be good if this was picked up by SPOC and change server status to orange with 3 months notice and red with a month notice.
