Hello, NetMaster Community!
When a certificate used in authentication passes its expiration date, outages can arise that are difficult to troubleshoot and resolve quickly. The new certificate monitoring feature in NetMaster NM for TCP/IP 12.2 (PTFs LU07961,
LU07962, and LU07963) forewarns customers of impending certificate expirations, allowing you to address the problem before an outage occurs.
A new event detector type, TCPCERT, enables NetMaster
users to set up alerts to be generated when a TCP client or server certificate nears its expiration date. When a TCPCERT event detector is active, NetMaster monitors certificates that meet the event detector criteria on live inbound or outbound connections, and alerts you if a certificate is set to expire within a period that you define.
Certificate monitoring is available for TLS certificates provided by
IBM GSK SSL, ZERTJSSE, or JAVA SSL at installations where IBM zERT is enabled.
