Issue WTO message for impending certificate expiration

Our CTG customer has requested that CTG for z/OS be enhanced to issue a WTO command every x minutes prior to the CTG SSL server certificate expiring. The customer wants to define a JVM property such as com.ibm.ctg.ssl.certificate.expiration.warning=(30,60) where 30 is days and 60 is minutes. In this example, CTG would issue a WTO every 60 minutes beginning 30 days prior to the CTG SSL server certificate expiring. If the com.ibm.ctg.ssl.certificate.expiration.warning JVM option is not defined then CTG will not issue any WTO certificate expiration warning messages. The customer is currently running CTG 9.3 and would like this enhancement added as a PTF or as a Fix Pack.

    Hi,

    z/OS Health Checker provides a feature using which all the certicates can be validated if they are about to expire. RACF_CERTIFICATE_EXPIRATION Parameter can be used to do the same. Will this solve your need or is there a different use case. Kindly let us know.
